WHY? It needs to be repaired! It's all ready to be filled, just need some epoxy!
Searching 'epoxy' on the US amazon site showed numerous types in 2-pack syringes, you'd want the standard grade, not the quicksetting.
Or you could try polyester fibreglass resin from Hobby Lobby, but you need the hardener, it's out of stock, but you can probably get it from an auto supplier.

Thanks wakibaki.... I wasn't sure if "standard grade" epoxy could be used successfully.... I will have a look at the fiberglass resin you mentioned @ HL.
Do you know if "regular" fiberglass resin catalyst can be used with this polyester resin?
thanks;

I would certainly think so, but I don't know for definite. It'd be best if you could get the matching pair. Hobby Lobby almost certainly aren't the only supplier, I'd look for a local aeromodelling shop, or an autobody repair shop or boat-builders.

Take a look at Devcon Plastic Welder. It's a 2 part like epoxy but twice as strong and won't soften like epoxy when it gets warm. It gets hard enough to drill holes in it and file/sand it smooth. Nasty smell while mixing it but worth it. I'd put a Scotch tape form on the side near the most traces and fill the other and file it smooth when it cures - about 4 hours.
