    sanding cleaning then fuel proof airplane  dope for hobbyst is the usual remedy  it seems

    I have used  “gel type” and lquid  crazy glue* with  small brush..it seemed to work but I have not  openned up a carb fixed this way.    Did crazy glue hold up.. hard to say

    *KEEP VAPORS AWAY FROM YOUR EYES AND LUNGS….BE WARNED !!!

     

    butyrate  is also used in clear finger nail polish  which you could try but  read the fine print on the bottle

     

     

    you always try to  shape a new  one out of cork then seal  it
