What type of plastic is a shroud? (The one used around a fan in front
of a car radiator). Mine has a crack which I want to fix using some
sort of epoxy or JB Weld, but some plastics can not be glued. I'm not
sure how to determine what type of plastic this is????



It looks like HDPE



If it is, epoxy is not going to work. I'd drill the crack to stop it
and use a mechanical fix as dbp described. Put a blob of different
glues and see if any stick to it.
