Anyone experience of repairing Bakelite?Â* I have a piece about 7 inches
square which has snapped in half.Â* Thickness about 1/12 of an inch. Plan
is to glue the two edges and hold together, then add a plate on the
underside - brass, or possibly plastic, glued in place.

A vintage radio site suggests Araldite as an adhesive - unless anyone
has a better idea?


Araldite for the supporting plate, but might it show in the join between
the edges of the two pieces of bakelite? Do you need anything in that
gap if it's well supported?

Anything wrong with superglue for the edge join, as it's thin and won't
show much if used v sparingly?
