When a split occurs where plastic pieces make full contact, such as where pictured, first use tape to hold the seam together. Replace the stubby cap with the needle cap on the needle applicator bottle. Apply water-thin solvent cement to the joint by squeezing the bottle or using gravity to allow solvent to flow into the joint. Cement starts to set immediately, however tape should be left on for at least five minutes. Joint will continue to harden over the next twelve hours. If applicator bottle needs to be refilled, replace cap on solvent can with the one that has the tube. CAPS WITHOUT OPENINGS SHOULD BE TIGHTLY SECURED WHILE CONTAINERS ARE STORED TO PREVENT LEAKS.
When a split occurs in a corner or a place where plastic pieces do not fully mate, apply hot glue liberally. Old hot glue should first be removed from the joint, and tape can be used where applicable to hold the joint together while the glue cools.
To touch up the painted dome surface, brush on "reflective coat" to cover blemishes. After this coat dries, paint on "finish coat" to fully cover patches. This will help blend patches with the rest of the painted surface.
