I found an old thread in RAH about this and one poster said he had had
moderate success with aeromodeler's light fiberglas and Jet super glue.

He would glue the glass to the back of the broken or cracked plastic,
reinforcing it. Anybody else had any success at this?


About 1 year ago, there was an article in one of the aviation
magazines on this very subject (repairing broken or cracked interior
plastic). The author refurbished the plastic overlay for an
instrument panel and did a great job - it looked new. If I recall the
author used a plastic to repair the plastic (ie it wasn't just
fiberglass/epoxy or glue).

A google search turned up the following thread which references Sport
Aviation in May, June, or July 2003.
