[SEL] gluing plastic OT

[Mark Shulaw]

One little trick to help stop the spread of the crack before you 
attempt any repair. Its important to interrupt the fracture. Drill a 
small hole at the furthest reach of the crack. You want to look real 
close and be sure to find the very end of the crack. It does not take 
much of a hole 1/16th or 3/32" even 1/8"  the hole will then be 
filled by whatever adhesive or plastic filler you use. This same 
thing is some times done with windshield glass. But instead of a hole 
its just a dimple done with some type of burr?? Not sure what the 
tool is they use on glass,  But its not a drill bit like we think.  Mark
