Is it possible to glue a 1970's-1980's fan blade back together without the seam showing?

Is impossible to glue a plastic blade without seeing the seam from the repair. Another thing to consider is the speed this fan spins and the possibility the blade will snap again.

This is compressed plastic injection. Any form of heat will shrink it causing more damage than a solution. Like I said, there's no way of repairing a broken blade.

Well that stinks. Not even acrylic cement? I dont think that would work either. You can do it a million ways and you'll still have that seam showing. This is why I detest those plastic fans, because they break so easily.
