Anyone experience of repairing Bakelite? I have a piece about 7 inches
square which has snapped in half. 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?

When I used to wind transformers as a student holiday job. They were wound on bakelite spools and if the pressure of the wire damaged them we always used araldite and put a blow torch over it to set them.
