Broken coolant reservoir

I have a 1991 Trail Boss 350 4x4. The reservoir for the coolant is cracked. Getting a new one or one that isn't damaged may not be possible. So, what are my options?

If I just leave it, the rad will drain off and then not have sufficient coolant while running.

Plastic welding is pretty easy.If I can do it anyone can .they have plastic welding kits at harbor freight. I just use a solder iron .Most impressive one Iv done is the rear rack on the 850 .Broke a 4" chunk off where the bolt holds the rack to the frame It was definitely a high stress point , but it held till this day. V it out and fill it in with the same type of plastic
