"Sexy Girl Lost Her Hair - Crazy glue?"
There's a game called Sexy Girl that is NOT like DE Star Trek
faz
Just a tiny amount of ambroid pro weld, apply with a toothpick being careful not to get it on the artwork then make a protector out of PETG to go under it.
Use the ambroid as tracelifter suggested, much better than crazy glue. If you apply too much do not wipe it off, it will craze the plastic. Use the corner of a paper towel to wick it away.
Quoted from Rferullo:Thanks - I ordered some Bondic. I heard that stuff is amazing for this type of repair.
Bondic works well temporarily but is not that durable over the long hall. I keep fixing a ramp with it and the ramp keeps splitting again after a few months. It will also not cure completely clear. I don't know about ambroid, but it may be a better choice.
I had a broken plastic a couple of months ago and put it back together with some super glue I got from the model airplane shop. I used the thin bodied, 1-3 second setting glue. I can see where the plastic was/is cracked but the repair is clean. It worked for me, anyway.
Ambroid is the proper stuff to use on pinball plastics and ramps but WTF do I know I don't have any experience in restoring pinball games.

does this stuff work well ?

That's the same as bondic. I wouldn't use it for the reasons I said before.
A strategically placed piece of Mylar on the back of the fix helps it from not falling off again should it rebreak. Or a PTEG washer underneath.
(And her name is Yeoman Janice Rand, and no I didn't have to Google it ).
I get it that everyone loves super glue, but neither it nor bondic have the bond strength of ambroid or weld-on (a similar product). The latter two are solvent based and actually "weld" the joint rather than just glue it. This is what the pros use when working with plastic since the bond is often stronger than the plastic itself.
Here's some additional info on the weld-on product (ambroid would perform the same).
