Mark,
I think you need to look further back to the root of the problem, not just a 
Band-Aid fix for the problem.  (Ask Rob; he's the Doc.)  You mentioned GM, 
right?  Does that tell you anything?   ;>))
(Had four GM vehicles; each time came away saying never again.  Guess I'm a 
slow learner.)

I have a piece of a door handle/release lever that is  a poor design.  It
breaks about every 6 months.  The GM dealer says  there is no improved part
and they sell a ton of them:-)  It is some kind  of hard plastic very 
similar
in texture to the old bakelite we are used  to.

I've tried epoxy, but it doesn't seem to grab on to  the bakelite.  Is
there any kind of a primer that might help or is there  another repair 
substance
that I might try?
Thanks,
Mark
