As a collector of old bakelite, I think you should consider not patching your piece. It devalues it. If it is an item that you have sentimental attachment to and simply want it to be useable again, I suggest you have it professionally done. I tried to do it myself on some pieces I inherited and it neither worked well or looked good. I used an epoxy based filler product and was not able to color it to get that beautiful brownish/yellow color that bakelite natually becomes.

look for a plastic repair kit ( or use an epoxy filler ) the problem is matching the color - the kits include colors and mixing instructions
