Went by the auto paint store and got some 3M plastic repair epoxy.



I glob'd it into the corner wet with small plastic knife.
After about 5mins it sets up to the constancy of old chewing gum stuck
under a desk.

You have about another 10mins to lightly mold it with your finger tips
or end of plastic knife or whatever.

Waiting for it to cure now to see how it bonds and sands.
The cured sample at the store looked and felt just like hard plastic.

First test corner

This Plastic Repair stuff should work like a charm.

Started by wrapping a small piece of plywood with aluminum foil.
and taping it to the back of the bezel.





Then glob on the plastic repair resin in a nice thick even coat
around the edge.




About 5-10mins later you can start you can start molding a little
by finger tip take out some of the bigger high spots. and after about
15mins you can remove the wood and carefully peal off the foil.







With in 1-2 hours its hard enough to cut with a drimel and start making
rough cut. Stuff sets up as hard and strong as plastic in about an 1hr.





Repeat, sand, shape, repeat, sand shape ...... you get the point.
Will post up some completion pictures in a couple of days.
