I'm returning to the hobby after a few years. I found my skimmer like this. :sad2::eek1: Any hope of repairing it?

TIA

Since that part of the skimmer is entirely underwater, you can experiment with various glues and see if that will hold it. I would go with either cyano as mentioned above or perhaps JB Weld plastic.
 
WO-16 for a solvent weld vs chemical bonding.

Place a fan blowing air all around and within as the offgassing of the WO16 solvent may cause crazing of the body.
