<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Epoxy repair putty is not very good for
the proper repair of parts that carry some load. Adhesion is not
all that great. Bakelite can be perfectly repaired using Araldite,
but first all traces of the putty have to be removed. Cracks can
be filled when you open these up using a hacksaw blade, scalpel,
Dremel etc. Just slightly bending the material to open up the
crack a bit may cause the object to break completely. Cleanliness
is absolute key so clean everything thoroughly using brake cleaner
and let dry for a good while.<br>
Use tape to create some kind of a mould to prevent the Araldite
running of.<br>
After 24hrs you can shape the Araldite using a Dremel, file,
sandpaper and finish with fine wet 'n dry. After the repair the
parts can be painted satin black.<br>

Did anything come of this? One of the ears broke off mine
years ago and after multiple repairs with epoxy putty, I’m
not sure I can fix it again. Anybody have a source? Mine
has some internal cracking, which either gives it patina or
makes it look old, depending on whether you’re a glass half
full or empty kind of person.</span></p>
