I have started to use some stuff called "Plastic Weld" made by 
Devcon/Permatex. Glues air to water!! Thicker two part glue that is 
amazing stuff. Comes in a syringe applicator, Just squeeze out what you 
want and mix. About a 5 to 10 minute working window, sets fast and sands 
really nicely too. Great for fiberglass repair too. No idea why they 
call it "Plastic weld" but it is great stuff.
