plastic repairs

new to me tool….:-)

if ever you have plastic parts to repair like cowls etc….  you may want to  look into plastic soldering/repair tools.

I just “repaired” a badly cracked EZ loader fender and must  admit I should have done so before buying a new one ($200 fender)  last winter .

Plastic welding is common in automotive  body parts  repairs  and for $40 on AMAZON  I got the  gun  and a bunch of  welding  pins  of all shapes .

On utube  … one can go all -out  and restore car parts   to like new but just for  basic cracks  on cowls  and  other plastic parts  it does the job.

Well, that is nifty.

my gun is 70 watts.. a bit slow to  heat up  so maybe a 100 watt gun ($$$) is better but…..mine works if a bit patient .

best to work from the back side of the crack  if possible of course ……to  improve  the final looks
