You will have to take the shell apart then get something the epoxy won't stick to very well but is also flat, and put it on both sides, then fill the crock and clamp it flat with the magic material holding it all in shape
Maybe tape it up from the underside so that it holds in place reasonably well. You're going to mix your epoxy and force it into the cracks kind of like grouting tile.
what kind of plastic is it? Somewhere inside it will probably say “ABS” (or something else but it’s probably ABS). That’s what lego is made of.
Anyway, you can fix it with solvent cement, it will be better than JB weld.
As someone mentioned, if there’s any holes, you could fill them with JB Weld I supposed.
I usually mix cyanoacrylate and baking soda to fill ABS gaps with some success. There's also ABS glue (which is pretty much plastic melted in acetone) for sale at hobby shops, particularly those that deal on aeroplane models.
I find that mixing in fine abs particles in glue makes a decent compound. Use a hacksaw or a file on abs pipe to produce shavings. A sharp hawkbill knife works nicely too.
You don't have to ask permission, anon.
What would you advise as a repair
I bet that’s an ASUS. Asus laptops are piles of shit.
Tell you what, you buy me a better made laptop then we can both be happy. Deal?
Not judging, my piece of shit asus broke because the hinges were piles of shit.
don't use the normal JB Weld, use JB Weld Plastic Epoxy
thx. better cure/hold?
yeah it's made for plastic and is really strong, but that corner will be tricky so good luck
This.

you should have spent 2.5k on a MacBook pro like me. You can't crack brushed aluminum
