Good idea too. Being a belt and suspenders kind of guy I think the idea
of some fiberglass then a piece of aluminum over that, then maybe a
coupla little screws on either side once it cures. Thanks Curley and Max!

I like the first idea. Maybe sand the white plastic to roughen it, then a few
layers of fiberglass wrapping around the perimeter? After the fiberglass sets,
put a couple screws through it into the plastic, one on each side of the crack.

My weedwhacker housing cracked at this screw attaching point and caused all
kinds of mayhem necessitating replacement of two castings (bought used off
eBay). It stripped out the part of the housing in there that the screw presses
on. It’s a totally stupid design with that much pressure on these little bits
of plastic.
I got it all back together but need to get this sorted before I use it. I’m
thinking some JBweld plastic epoxy with something shrouding the curved plastic
housing bit to hold it and make it stronger and somehow filling inside where
the screw goes, or just getting a longer screw and washer to fit over the top
to hold the strengthened bit of the plastic tight.
Any thoughts?
