Re: Cementing a broken upper joint

Yes, thanks Gordon and Dave for you always good analyses. "Yes, Virginia, plastic will crack." My opinion would be that a clean circumferential crack in a Vito top joint at the thumb hole would be a job for an expert like Gordon. I'm still "sitting on" and watching two Vitos that I repaired with filled epoxy but they were in tenon areas and not "clean" fractures. A thumbhole failure could be the result of a "cold shut" during molding (as well as Gordon's thought) and if so will be a zone of weakness that even a satisfactiory crack repair might not remedy. Prognosis negative.
