Cracked bakelite foot post
#1

This cracked post is for a rubber "foot" that screws into the little metal insert you see in the photo.  This is a 53-1350 radio phonograph and is made from the bakelite material.  The little insert cannot be held by the cracked post.  Anyone have any suggestions for building up the post so it can hold on to the threaded insert?   I thought perhaps either using an epoxy type glue or perhaps some sort of fiberglass resin??  I tried wood glue, but it does not stick to the bakelite.    Thanks people.

Wow.  I watched the past-aid video - I think that may be exactly what I need.  Thanks - I'll give it a shot.

That looks like AWESOME stuff! I need to do something to repair a part on my Synchrophase radio - the little plastic cup that holds the chains for the tuning dials has broken off. I bet this stuff could be used to make a new cup to hold the chain.

Thanks for sharing!
