Could you fix it with some JB Weld?

Is that a kind of superglue? I don't know if that would be strong enough, or flex enough. I ordered the part on Ali, in a couple of weeks it should be here :) The spoiler I will re-print but now in TPU, a kind of rubber, almost indestructible.

It's any epoxy that most hardware stores would carry. Useful if the gap left behind by the fracture is larger than would be normally repairable with super glue alone. E.g. the graphite plastic for the molded part on the wheel armature disintegrated along the fracture, no longer resulting in a clean mating surface between pieces.
