    If ya fill the gaps with epoxy glue then you can use Upol stone guard or raptor liner to cover everything and give it a nice texture.

    Reinforcement the patch with squares of screen window wire mesh. Steel or aluminum when using heat, fiberglass screen when using epoxy.

    What I have found is that, say, you're patching a busted hinge on a bin-type garbage can. Take a jigsaw and cut off a thin sliver from around the edge of the overhang of the lid. There's more than a inch and a half lipped over. You cut a quarter inch wide strip with a jigsaw and use that. That way, its of the exact same material as what you're fixing. Straighten out a thin paper clip and do a zig zag with needle-nose pliers and bend it so it's flat. Duct tape the underside of the lid and hinge. Do the repair on TOP of the broken material and use the filler rod you jig-sawed off. Let that cool and then open the lid and prop it on something and do the underside, as well. IT AIN'T BREAKING THERE, AGAIN !!! Bill, from Tn. 🇺🇸

    ​@@truckskate9677it will only weld better if it is the same type of plastic, if it is not the same plastic it will become brittle against the other plastic and it will fail. You can weld zip pies to zip ties and it will last, you can weld almost any plastic to the same plastic and it will weld, but when you start crossing plastics it gives the impression of being welded but is not, the plastic will not mix properly as they are different compounds.

    I'm not sure why you're screwing around with those metal fibers for reinforcements when using a metal window screen would be much much easier to use and probably stronger. I used the hot soldering iron method to fix model cars over 50 years ago.

    Shouldn't thin that edge after you tacked it should have melted the scrap from cuttings in with the iron and made more cuttings from the damaged panel then welded the back completely with the cuttings . It'd be stronger a little square of silicone baking pan will allow you to hot press it to shape by hand on the table without it sticking to the silicone

    NICE JOB - BUT... Why cut out a perfectly good piece of plastic when the 'star-shaped' hole could so easily have been repaired. As a 'jagged star-shape' it had sufficient right angles to key new plastic, or even a charcoal & superglue mix to it to fill the hole.....? In truth, there are so many options for repairing plastics now, where once of a day we had to buy new bit. Thankfully there are enough people demonstrating their own forms of repair on KZread for us to see..... Well done anyway.... James Hennighan Yorkshire, England

    Tweak to make it better and simpler: * Do NOT remove any original material with the dremel/grinder * Melt twisted steel wool fully into the surface * No need to add more plastic. AND: the zip tie is nylon. Not compatible with PP (or any other non-nylon) plastic. It would have eventually failed.
