[Shotimes] plastics question

[John J. Weidenbenner]

I've used silicone RTV glue as Kerby described with success. Also workd on
headlights.

There's more to the material than ABS. I likely an alloyed ABS and other
materials such as polyester. The lense is most likely an alloyed acrylic
material.

you rough it up a bit with sandpaper, silicone glue will at least stick to
the rough spots...
