Does anyone know how to invoke the Nikon secret warranty?

Here are a dozen photos showing how I used the advice in this thread to fix
my son's Nikon Coolpix 3100 digital camera body which broke at exactly the
same spot in all the photographs listed above.

You'll notice nobody said which drill bit to use, nor which dremel bit to
use, nor which glue to use - and I think I screwed up in all three but the
results still seem to work. It's a bit messy because I use the wrong dremel
tool and probably the wrong glue (it melted the camera body a bit).

It's too late for me but does anyone know what the Nikon Coolpix camera
bodies are made up of and therefore what glue to use which won't pit the
camera body everywhere it touches it wet?
