2 part epoxy for wheel wells

I used JB Weld (fast set). No data yet on durability on the car. I put painter's tape closely around the crack and stuffed the epoxy into the crack, then clamped together. Next morning, I used a razor blade to trim and clean up what squeeze out. When cut, the epoxy is no longer black but a grey color.

I used JB Weld's Plasticweld epoxy when I filled all the unused holes in my wheelwells and it worked great, I sanded the areas and painted the entire wheel wells with a satin black paint made for plastics.
Going by a recent experience I would recommend some 3m panel bonding adhesive. This stuff works great you need to clean the area as well as possible and open the joint enought to get the material well into it. The working time on is product is about an hour and sets in 4. Full strength in 24 hours. The down side is you need an applicator for the product. It's in a twin cartridge arrangement, it will mix thru the tip but you can put a quanity on a surface if you remove the tip. After it cures you can sand drill, just about anything you need to do to it.
