Plastic Tender Shell Repair



Here's hoping that someone out there is doing plastic repairs as I am trying to do.  I am refurbishing an old Lionel Tender shell and have to build up one corner that was broken off.  In the past I have tried Epoxy, J-Weld epoxy, built up Gorilla Glue, Testors Model cement, crazy glue, and others I can't remember.  Either the material will not stick to the plastic shell, or it remains too soft/pliable to be any good.  The piece I am working on was repaired previously with a dark blue material that is fantastic.  It dried to a crystalline finish and can be drilled and sanded.  Too bad I have no idea what it is.  Any help from out there appreciated. 
 
There was a guy at the HO Guage show in Round Rock that was doing some model repairs that looked really great.  I did not get his name.  Anyone know who that was?
 
Ed:  He had a table about 30 feet down from you along the wall.  Any idea who it is?
