1/16th Model Slipway Trent deck splitting

The deck is splitting and cracking on the surface and join to the hull. What glue is recommended to prevent further cracking and fill the cracks?

Thanks

    When glueing plastics - and I believe the Trent has such a deck - you have at least 2 ways of approaching the issue - after ascertaining the chemistry of the plastic = important (ABS, PS, PVC, Epoxy, etc.):

    o go to UHU or any other of the key adhesives companies. They offer (mostly) excellent Q&A tools to answer your question.

    o navigate to some leading plastics companies. They do it other way round and tell you which adhesive to use for which plastic.

    . . . and if you get the same answer, perfect!

    For cracks I usually use car filler (they offer a certain elasticity)
