What I was going to do if |I find a suitable adhesive is clean the broken edges as best as I can and then put the joining adhesive along the exposed broken areas and then hold them together while the adhesive sets. Any excess adhesive will then be scraped off. This will leave the lines of the breaks still visible on the panel, at least thats what I would think. It's all early days yet as I still need to find something that will definately work. The Stixall comes in various colours including black, so that could be a possible contender. I'm not going to do that thing where the edges are chamferred and then back filled like you see on the BBC's Repair Shop.

I'll let you know how I get on in due course once I've had chance to check the adhesive specifications etc.
