[QUOTE="TonyS, post: 252989, member: 2694"] Hmmm...super glue... that might work, MisterE. I tried spot-heating the hole seeing if it would soften enough to maybe come back together but nope. I bit the bullet (or should I say stem :lol:) and applied my go-to glue, JB Weld. It took very little to fill the hole and I smoothed it nicely. JB Weld's [i]supposedly[/i] non-toxic when fully cured, will withstand 500F with a max brief 600F, can be sanded, and will stick to a lot of plastics. I will admit I've used it for just about anything and everything over the years and it's rarely let me down....and I'm still alive! :monkey: It should take minimal sanding to get it completely smooth but I think it'll be fine when it cures. I'll shoot some shots when it's cured in case anyone cares. [/QUOTE]
