I got an acrylic glue called Weld-on from the Engineerguy.com. Then sanded and polished it. I haven't driven it much to see if it will ultimately hold up. I also cat a sliver of acrylic to take up some of the space in the crack.


What brand top is yours that cracked?

I so happened to have ordered Weld-on 16. I plan to cut some small strips of Acrylic to fill the crack. Then use a syringe to inject the Weld-on 16 into the gaps. And also do the inside as well to make sure it is water proof.

I think it is best to do a little at a time, and build it up layer by layer. As I've read the Weld-on 16 shrinks 30% and can leave air pockets when the stuff inside it evaporates.

I'll have to see what happens when the summer hits and the top gets too hot to touch. As the crack closes up when it gets that hot. Then it opens up several millimeters when it cools off at night. I also drilled a small hole at the end of the crack to keep it from spreading.
