So my skimmer basket cracked. It cracked after we started the pool up this year. My question is, which would be my best option. The water level is below the skimmer right now so the basket is dry. My plan is to sand the inside of the skimmer basket in all these options, then clean the plastic with brake parts cleaner and acetone to ensure the best adhesion.
1. Use fiberglass resin throughout the entire inside of the skimmer basket?
2. Open up the crack a little to create a valley, then use jb weld J-B Weld 50139 Plastic Bonder Body Panel Adhesive and Gap Filler Syringe - Dries Black - 25 ml Amazon.com: J-B Weld 50139 Plastic Bonder Body Panel Adhesive and Gap Filler Syringe - Dries Black - 25 ml: Automotive ?
3. Use

Thanks for the help. I am leaving for military duty all summer so need to fix this for the wife and kids before I go.
