PennyTech "Plastic Surgery"

Over the years i see a few diferent ways to repair broken plastic parts from thermoset, thermoplastics_{,etc but all of them lack from "Style" and they are ussually clumssy, tedius and dificult to deal with, the sistem i develop usses a single strand of "Safety wire" so is a continuos circuit with out any strands sticking out but also provides a "Close circuit benefit, so if any part breaks again, they whole thing does not fall apart...}

let me see if i can explain it with my chessy Ingles..

Step 1 Findidng something to fix

the whole process start by breaking something first_{, at that sadlly i'm really good at, in this case is one of my motorcycle fairings after a big fall...}

Hmm...
That was good, but it is better to take it all off first, use a soldering iron to fix it together by melting the plastic in the inside part, then put some resin on it, dry and you have a better and stronger plastic!

This works great, I did the exact thing on an old Honda ATV over ten years ago when the "plastic weld" wouldn't hold a broken fender together (rough trails and all)
