Jeff,
You can go to your local automotive store. They carry a fiberglass repair kit. You take the resin mix it up and use a epoxy brush apply it in the hairline crack, from both sides. Let dry then and sand it down and level. If the crack is real bad I would apply the resin to the outside then next apply to the inside enough to use the cloth that comes in the kit. Hope this helps some.

Fiberglas RepairsThanks Mort!
I was at the Automotive shop tonight, briefly looked for the kit, but couldn't find one. Was in a hurry though, maybe get a chance tomorrow.

If the crack is minor you can just use CA. If the crack/break is major you can spot join it back with the CA and then reinforce the inside with fiberglass and epoxy over the affected area. then fill and sand the outside until your liking. The biggest thing to remember with fiberglass is to make sure and get ALL the pieces left after and incident. Its amazing what you can put back together and have it look good as 'new'
Good Luck
