Looking for advice on what to use to glue broken and cracked rear acrylic taillight lenses from my 1974 914. They are original Hellas and I would like to keep them.
Thanks for the help  |

I’ve used superglue. Worked great. A little goes a long way.

QUOTE(mepstein @ Mar 10 2026, 03:16 PM)  I’ve used superglue. Worked great. A little goes a long way. Super glue is available is several viscosities, I have used it for years in my woodturning. The medium thickness would be best for this job, the thin is hard to keep in place while drying and doesn't fill gaps. . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) |

i have repaired my tail lights using clear epoxy, assuming that the pieces line up |
