plastic repairs

[gedavis2]

Any one tried the plastex repair kit or had any luck with the plastic welders? I need to fix some cracks and one tab on my atv. It's HDPE which the welders use different rod for different plastics. Or is there something new that I'm unaware of that can fix plastic like an epoxy.

Thanks,

I had a kayak and fixed it with a heat gun and plastic and a putty knife. It turned out not half bad.

I fixed the fender on my Banshee after a good spill once. I used a little hobby torch, a butter nife and a chunk off an unsalvagable fender from another bike.

I started out by drilling a small hole through the end of the crack so it couldnt travel any more. I then filled in the crack and the hole by melting the scrap plastic and spreading & mashing it into the crack and hole.
After I let it cool down I wet sanded it and painted it. Couldnt tell it was ever cracked after that.
