Quick fix for cracked plastic clip: thread wrap and superglue (slrpnk.net)

I've had a couple of this style of plastic clip crack. Wrapping it in thread and then applying super glue seems to work pretty well. I also tried wrapping with fishing line, but it came undone pretty quickly. Just wanted to share the tip! Now if only I had a fix for when the prongs on the other half break off.

If you have an Osprey bag they'll send you replacement clips for free
