Repairing cracked fiberglass on Knoll Saarinen tulip chair?  

I just got a Knoll tulip arm chair (BR51) in the mail and the shell where the base attaches was obviously cracked at one time. A repair using epoxy was done, but I don't trust this repair. I can sit in it, but I really don't think it's wise to do a lot of leaning forward (the crack is toward the front of the base). How would you go about repairing this (or getting it repaired)? Is it worth trying to get repaired? It has a little wear in the on the arms and needs cleaning, but otherwise it's in good shape.

I'm not pleased with the seller as they did not disclose this flaw. I'm already contacting him about this, but to be honest, he's really flaky and I kind of doubt he'll even respond. I feel fortunate that the chair even arrived...others have posted feedback on eBay stating they never even received their furniture.
