That's an idea but there is grease and oil in there, I cleaned it up
with degreaser but I don't think that would get down in there to clean
it up, and it would probably not stick together with that in between the
2 pieces

My weedwhacker housing cracked at this screw attaching point and

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?
