pps. Apparently, it's available in the Brazilian jungle (a little
closer to home):<br>

I got curious and delved into--OK, I did a quick internet
search--this mysterious 'Araldite' stuff and found, among other
interesting tidbits:<br>
<br>
<i>Araldite was used beginning in 1940 in the production of the De
Havilland Mosquito aircraft.<br>
<br>
</i>So, certainly it's suitable for our LBCs. Unfortunately,
however, it's made in some place called the 'UK,' making it
difficult if not impossible to find on this side of The Pond (esp.
without egregious shipping fees).<br>
<br>

<br>
ps. Also, of note:<br>
<br>
"In 1983, British advertising agency FCO Univas set up a visual
stunt presentation of the strength of Araldite adhesive by gluing
a yellow <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Cortina"
title="Ford Cortina" moz-do-not-send="true">Ford Cortina</a> to
a billboard on Cromwell Road, London, with the tagline "It also
sticks handles to teapots".<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araldite#cite_note-10"
moz-do-not-send="true">[10]</a></sup> Later, to demonstrate
more of its strength, a red Cortina was placed on top of the
yellow Cortina, with the tagline "The tension mounts". Finally,
the car was removed from the billboard, leaving a hole on the
billboard and a tagline "How did we pull it off?". "<br>

<p>Better to use Araldite or similar 2-pack epoxy glue instead
of superglue. Using this on Bakelite gives an extremely strong
bond and fills up cracks/missing bits and is easy to polish
and paint.</p>
<p>I use it a lot to repair/restore Bakelite items (caps and
bridges on SU fuel pumps, car radio knobs and fronts, car
switches etc.<br>

<p style="font-family: Helvetica;">Just super glue the broken
bakelite part back on and do a little skim bodywork at the
crack if needed ,prime and sand down with 400 and repaint it
again. Sanding primer may fill in any defects from the crack
anyway.<br>
