I need to fuse these two cases together.
I have to have the white case with the black case as one piece. Someone said i should use bondo to fuse them together. Are they right, or is there another material that is better?

thx guys. i was going to use epoxy for the whole thing, then CTFan mentioned bondo, and now i have a much better plan to make it a great looking case. i will use epoxy on the back, and cut some strips of plastic mesh out and lay it down it the epoxy [almost like fiberglass], then let it cure, and add another layer of epoxy. For the top i will either fiill the gaps with bondo, or hot glue and add bondo ontop of that. Then i'll sand it down and paint it. Does that sound good?

Bondo Marine Epoxy Putty stick. Best. Bondo. Ever.
Seriously, when it dries it's harder than the plastic you'll be applying it to. And you can fill HUGE gaps with it. I once took a massive glop of it and covered a 1.5" hole with it. Sanded it down and you couldn't even tell there was a hole ever there.
