It's on a vintage television. It's not the picture tube but a transparent gray protective piece of plastic. I know with broken windshields they buff in tiny particles of glass to make the crack disappear. Do you know what I could use on plastic and remember pastic melts when heated

I agree with Jack the Toad, its a lost cause!
BUT,
If you are persistent I would get your hands on a plastic welder, it looks like a soldering iron with a bunch of plastic welding supplies.
I bought mine from EBAY, and it works well. I doubt it will maintain the structural integrity you ask for. It will change shape and may crease once melted, you could repair the crack with a plastic welder then paint the entire molding strip with a new coat of paint! LIKE NEW~!
happy new year

2 part epoxy or jb weld holds on most plastics best use it on the underside of the part not the exterior.
