well that worked like a charm :/
 

note: if you have to glue up the plastic fiddly bits
JB weld will not hold on some plastics. Generally I get
good results with the stuff, but not this time.

Tried a bit on the AC knob and it hardens well, just doesn't
stick. Got to be the type of plastic. The only two that
JB doesn't stick to are Polypropylene and Polyethylene. So
it's got to be Polypropylene. The other is plastic sheeting stuff.

Oh well, off to get some 3M epoxy for polypropylene.

I have found that with much effort most all adhesives can bond
skin, denim, and hair.

Try Gorilla Glue, that stuff is pretty amazing. It sticks things
together like iron that nothing else I tried worked on. Plastics,
metal, ceramics, wood, etc.

Re: well that worked like a charm :/
 

I've used Gorilla Glue on plastic and it worked well. The repair is ugly
because it "foams' as it cures but holds tenaciously.

Make sure you do not get it on your skin as it will stay until that layer of
skin sloughs off.

That should be ok because it's on the backside of the knob. A bit of masking
tape should keep things "clean".

I've got an angle grinder and brush wheel that can take anything off skin. :]
