Use 2-part epoxy resin.  You can apply it as thick as you like, and then 
file/grind/sand/polish it to whatever shape you need.  It will usually be 
stronger than the parts you are repairing.

I would not reccommend using so-called "plastic cement", because they will 
chemically react with the plastic, sometimes turning it into a gooey mess 
that will not ever dry or solidify (depending on the plastic type).  Epoxy 
resin won't melt the plastic, it will just adhere to its surface (and very 
well).

Good luck on the DK-600 project.  Let us know how it turns out.
