Just saw this and thought it could be a good trick for small repairs.

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

This stuff works great!  I used it to repair my dash vents,  and actually made missing tabs on my header panel.

Works good, I did a few pieces of my grill with it. You can also use baby powder. It just gives some strength to the glue. I understand Gorilla brand super glue has rubber pieces dissolved in it to accomplish the same thing.

I mentioned this before but in case you missed it. Q-Bond is a product I buy at the local NAPA store. Works on the same principle but it has different colors of powders for metal or plastic and is the strongest stuff I have ever seen. Try it for plastic and light duty metals.
