Parker '51' Aero Pencil Barrel Crack Repair?

[octatonic]

Hi All-

 

Please forgive the question if it has been answered before-I did a search and didn't come up with much for a '51' Aero pencil repair. I am a relative newbie and had read somewhere that the '51' pencil barrels are not the same (lucite) as the pens. I have a pencil with a crack in the barrel that I would like to stabilize so that it doesn't get any worse. It will be a user pencil for me, so I am not super concerned with cosmetics, but certainly don't want to do any harm, or use the wrong stuff. What should I use to stabilize the crack? I have attached a close-up picture.

 

Thanks in advance for any and all guidance!-

I believe the cost to repair that crack would far exceed the value of a user pencil. Possibly easier to pick up a used barrel

A pen show would be a good place to search if possible.

Regards and good luck

A replacement black pencil barrel is a 5$ item and most of that is postage and fees.

Thank you both for the replies! If I tried to fix it for practice, is there a particular glue or cement that would work on this material?

 

Thanks!-
