Trying to repair a small camera lens cap (black plastic Nikon, but can't see
any code identifying the type of plastic). What's broken is the small
plastic loop to which the retention cord attaches. I have 2 types of epoxy
and super glue available. Don't want to spoil things by using the wrong
glue for starters.

Any advice please.

Thanks

this happened on our nikon coolpix e800 just drilled another hole (1.6mm)
on the cheek of broken loop and used a braided nylon loop in black (and
smoothed of the broken part of the loop - lasted until the camera broke 3
years later :-)

That's good lateral thinking! I've got a "precision" drill. (The camera is
a Coolpix 4500.)

I've had some success with some types of flexible plastic using Evostick
Serious glue. It remains flexible unlike epoxies, etc. But not tried it on
anything this small, and of course don't know what type of plastic the
lens hood is made of.
