how can plastic be repaired?

I've been searching on how to fix cracked plastics but I can't seem to find anything helpful. I tried bondo but it didn't even come close to working. What other things can I use to fix it? I think super glue should work but I want to try to fix it the best way. By the way it's for a motorcycle's panel.

I went to the store earlier and bought that bumper repair epoxy and I didn't know why it came with mesh. I'll go use it now, thanks.

if you can scrape some of the plastic form somewhere not noticable, you can mix it with a little MEk and repair it with that.

I fix motorcycle seats by hand stitching a matching panel over the bad one, or using the old panel as a pattern, you can machine stitch it.
If needed, I use "200 mph racers tape" on the underside of the cut/tear.

There is also a plastic welding kit. (not a joke) -Bob
