If you have never made up any home brew Balsa Cement then give it a try,you will need some offcuts of acetate sheet or even perspex broken ito granules with a lump hammer ( now you must have one of those in you kit for knocking in your pins ) obtain some acetone from a drug stores or chemists and fill up a glass jar with the liquid,now submerge the granules or offcuts and leave overnight,in the morning you will have a really useful old fashioned type balsa cement.
In wartime this trick was popular,apply with a brush and if it hardens add more acetone.
I am not sure if it works with modern acrylic sheet,you will need to experiment.
My source is a broken real airplane cockpit canopy,any airfield is a good scrounging point from a wrecked airplane,a piece will last for years.
