Tried something new tonight with good results. I want to fix my cracked fender. Before going to work on it, I did a dry run with one of the parts I cut off last weekend. I'll write this in the form of a how to.
Here are the two parts I used. Just took a dremel and cut a bit off. The goal is to get them back together.
Also cut a piece off that will add in later as a structural support
Step 1: clean them
Step 2: clamp them and heat them
Step 3: graft them
Use a flat piece of metal to pull melted plastic from one side to the other and vice versa
Step 4: smooth it
Use a knife to flatten out the weld
Step 5: attach structural support
Use same technique of heat and grafting
All done
Quick video showing results

Thoughts? Feedback before I try on fenders?
