I don't KNOW if it will work, but you might try JB Weld with a little
piece of fiberglass screen mesh. I've seem JB Weld patch some wierd
things. Also rough up the surface so it will adhere better and use something
like Brakleen to clean the area. Something that leaves no residue. After
application cover the area with duct tape to keep it from falling off if it
is on
the bottom.
