    For cracks, refixing lugs (or even making lugs) womens acrylic nail filler/powder is the best stuff https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Portable-...8AAOSwv7da6yij (skulk about on ebay for cheaper deals on bigger packs of clear stuff).

    It is also sold as Plastech ( http://www.plastex.net/ ) which is the exact same stuff with a massive markup on price.

    I've used it to repair massive cracks, reattach entire pieces of plastic and make + stick on new lugs. With a bit of care/practice the repair is completely invisible after paint and as strong as original.

    Remind me not to buy anything faired from you! lol

    Much grassy ass for that.

    Quick lesson on use would be good.

    http://www.plastex.net/How_To_Videos.php & http://www.plastex.net/Product_Info.php ..... probably better instruction than I can type up. Don't buy from that website though, buy the stuff for women's nails from eBay it's a fraction of the price and identical. Before using it I used to f about with soldering irons and bits of cable tie/milk bottle and the final result is not even comparable.

    Cuts and bruises just about healed now.

    Two nasty rib aggros, one each wing, easing but still uncomfy. Another week maybe.

    Successful trip to the docs yesterday. Seems to think 3 months is not unusual healing period for old farts having such injuries. Should keep improving as long as I don't do anything violent.

    He suggested that I get some motocross-type armour so I've treated myelf to a Xmas prezzy. Might help the confidence, can't do any harm.
