Glue a piece of plastic over the rest of the flat bit to distribute the

I think I used contact adhesive. Evo stick or similar, and a piece of
Perspex about 1/8th inch thick and about three inches long and 1 inch deep.
OK so it was not beautiful but the shelf was fine!

Update:
Got a piece of plastic to shape (tight fit) and used an epoxy glue which
appears to have worked.

I've not done mine yet, but plan to use ms polymer sealant to form a replacement block in situ after scraping the foam back so the sealant can get behind it.

We need a wiki section on this
