Macintosh 512 case repair

[PacificState]

I might be a glutton for punishment, but I have a Mac 512 with a cracked case which I'd like to repair. I *suspect* it may ultimately need painting, but I'm trying to glue it back together as a first step - given that the cracks disappear with the right pressure applied.

Can anyone recommend a suitable adhesive? I did consider Super Glue, but I've never had great results. Thanks!

Use special ABS glue which welds the plastic

Perhaps you can apply the right pressure when you refit the monitor - lever the frame against the bolts of the monitor to create some compression on that side - super glue will be a disaster if any of it gets to the front

Apply blue painter's tape firmly to the outside, over the cracks.

Apply a few drops of acetone at a time to the inside.

Wait about 15 minutes before pulling the tape off.

Squeeze a few drops of epoxy resin (big drops) on the back and bury some thick iron wire into the epoxy resin for reinforcement
