Have you considered perhaps some type of epoxy to fix the problem? Or maybe the silicone type sealant you use to seal tile and stuff like that; it's very tough and flexible when it sets....
sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

I would not try epoxy...it gets brittle in time and probably would not handle being inserted into the neck hole....You'd need some type of glue that melts and bonds the two halves of the plastic head, like styrene and model cement..sorta..Any other glue adhesion would most likely break loose..IMO I've got a Zaius head that is in the same condition on its way to me so i will post results....Wayne It's gonna be trial and error..

i used Household GOOP for my two-Face.
its true.
OK!!! I went out and bought Amazing E-6000, that is made Eclectic Products Inc. (They also make Household GOOP and all GOOPs).
This one says Industrial Strength on the tube, and the chart on the package says best for rubber and vinyl over Super Glue, etc.
I tried it twice, and both times the glue never really dried. I was just stretchy and gooey, and the rip was not mended.
Recently, I purchased Loctite Vinyl, fabric & plastic and it seems to have done the trick!!! I will update this if I have any problems but at this time I say BRAVO!!!
Now I have to get going cuz I have a Shazam and A.J. next plug to glue!!!

I was going to suggest Shoe Goo--which is made by the same company as Goop--but I'd never heard of Loctite Vinyl. That's good info--thanks for posting that!
