84 Goldwing Interstate luggage damage. Does anyone make a glue to fuse this type of plastic? See detail.?

Question

The trunk on my Wing is cracked.  I would like to find a glue that will disolve the plastic and weld it together the same way ABS and PVC glues work on plastic plumbing pipe.  I have tried both types of glue mentioned and they don't fuse the base material.  As far as I can tell both ABS and PVC glues are acetone based.  The plastic Honda uses seem to be impervious to acetone.  I hesitate trying to weld it with hot air as I don't know the composition of the plastic, and without that information I can't add comparable material to the weld.  Does anybody have any ideas?

I would fiber glass patch the interior and then skim the skin with alittle bondo. At least thats what i did with my vetter trunk after being rear ended and it lasted fine for as long as i had the bike after that which was about 6 years.

Go the JB Weld route. Strongest stuff on the market. Another suggestion is "3 Bond". You can get it at motorcycle dealers through their after market catalogs. It's specialy made for plastic repair. The glue is similar to crazy glue. It also comes with fiberglass mesh patches to further strenghten the repair.

I have a gl1100 that i have made repairs on the fairings. I tried fiberglass, J B Weld and others but the best I came up with is the Superglue Gell. Takes a while for it to cure.

rough up the inside with 60 grit sand paper and try JB weld

I think you're beat.  maybe you could fiberglas/bondo the interior to at least make it watertight.  It won't help the cosmetics of the trunk, tho.  sorry.
