Cracks in fairing

Sup guys
Just wondering what your suggestions are on small cracks in the fairing and splits, not looking for complete repair (filling and painting) just what you'd do to bond the split together on the back of the fairing just to make it structurally sound...
Thanks

Thanks
Bit steep for me atm though plus there are quite a few cracks so I'll probably replace the fairing sometime within the year maybe next, any cheaper alternative or tricks you guys know of, is Devcon any good?

Fibreglass the cracks from the inside of the fairing. If you want it to look neat after, use some filler to smooth it all over and paint it!

It feels too smooth for fibreglass though

No matter it felt to smooth on the inside for fibreglass to work but I'll give it a try
