Somebody I know has an old fly reel with a severely cracked rubber backplate- chocolate brown color. Then handle side of the reel is metallic. The break is a triangle shaped piece sized about 25% of the sideplate. I guess the reel is about 3 inches in diameter but i have only seen an unscaled picture. It there a way to repair/restore that material to a solid piece with a smooth surface?

Can cracked rubber sideplates be restored?
