Help fixing tank molding

[Mark Jordan]

I bought this tank second hand and need to fix this molding. It appears to be a hard plastic and am hoping someone might know where I can order a piece of it.

I have had people suggest epoxy or a "filler" but not sure about those options.

I had thought of using the putty type coral glue, mash it together and form it before it hardens and then file, sand and paint.

All ideas are welcome!!

Thank you. I am not trying to replace the entire frame or moulding

You can also use Bondo......or epoxy wood filler......

I was seconds'ing the response. Depending on if your going for asthetics or actual strength the other post included both realistic options.

Have you leak tested it? I would do that before repairing.

I must have missed it in that thread. Structurally it is sound, going for aesthetics
