Lower engine cover repair?
Gents,
I was unable to safely avoid a piece of bouncing debris on track. It caused a fist-sized area of cracks in my lower engine cover. What's the best glue to make the repair? I was actually thinking of using a soldering iron.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I used a soldering iron and some scrap plastic I had from an old engine tray that I had cut up when I got the Kraftwerks Rotrex kit years ago. I used the scrap plastic like solder and did both sides. I did the work in the garage, and took this picture out in the sun. It looked like ****, so I went over the the whole repair with a wider soldering iron blade. Seems strong enough, but I probably could have gotten by without doing anything given the current temps.
Thanks for the inputs.
