What material is it made of? If it's vinyl, then you need cyanoacrylate glue.

They are rotocast vinyl same as the standard ones NHM.
How big's this crack are you looking for an invisible mend or are you planning on painting the helmet anyway ?
If you are going to paint it i'd say use bondo or other kind of filler.
What glues have you tried on it ?

the first try was to hotglue it
2 years ago
not the best idea
haha

i´ll try to find the cyanoacrylate here
the crack is on the lower side
so i don´t need to paint the bucket
just want to stop cracking





and then some other german products

What he said.
It depends on what its made of. Most likely you can use a 2 part epoxy glue as a filler/adhesive.

cyanoacrylate is just a fancy name for superglue :thumbsup

Not really. You can get superglue that is not cyanoacrylate... so you have to check what it is.
