    I'm working on a new headlight shroud and have been collecting materials to plastic mold. I might be able to take on a vent visor molding project .

    I've used this stuff in the past on various plastics projects (Plexiglass, OEM automotive taillights, etc) and have had good success.

    Product Details

    • 3 grams
    • Works on most plastics and acrylic
    • Takes 5-15 seconds to work
    • Unique patented application allows you to draw a straight line of glue
    • Application draws glue back into the tube so it is clog- proof
    • Dries clear

    It's especially made for bonding plastics, and it dries clear which would be helpful in this case. And best of all, it can be found at your local Ace Hardware store.

    If you're just looking to keep the cracks from getting worse, even better, although from my experience even if you were simply repairing them for use on your VX where they'd be seen by all, I doubt that anyone would even notice the repairs unless they were going out of their way to look for them.

    I'd also put my name in the hat as interested if a mold project gets started for offering duplicates.
