Acrylic crack repairs?

[RCC]

Okay, ebay is sometimes a crapshoot, at least the price was trivial.
I bought a lot of 4 trash brushes hoping the one pictured here would be cool.
It is. (I think a TGN knot would help too)
But on the side turned away from the ebay listing picture are these cracks.
Can anyone help me out with suggestions for trying to make these go away?
I have heard that superglue or something like it would work but what do I know? - nothin' usually.
If I could get some feedback I'd sure appreciate it.

SInce the cost was trivial what have you got to loose. Get some thin super glue and put it over the crack. I would wipe it off with a paper towl quickly to save you sanding time. Get some 400 grit sandpaper and sand it smooth. Since it is a clear resin, you may have filled the void but it still may show through because of the clear. If you do not have a buffer, you will have to wet sand with 600 and 1000 grit to remove all the scratches.

I wish him luck, I hate wet sanding, to much pressure and poof goes the product.

I don't know if I would use a paper towel to wipe of the residue, maybe an old cloth?

I agree though, if the cracks are deep, it may just polish the finish up, and not totally remove the crack visibility.

I've been thinking, and I've used nail polish remover to clean up super glue. I think I'd try to fill the cracks let dry and wipe away the excess with that. If the cracks are deep enough you could very lightly wipe before the glue sets and then do a clean up later.

I don't know about using the nail polish remover on the handle, it could cloud/scratch the finish.

I was thinking too, take an old credit card, or flat piece of plastic and use it to scrape the the glue flush.

gotcha.
I guess there's no insider's miracle fix.
I'll give it some super glue and hope for the best.
thanks

good idea. I've been using buffing/polishing compound and elbow grease.
