Just wondering if anyone has tried one of plastic welding kits ?
Any good ? Easy to use ? Good results ?
Thinking about getting one to fix the cracks in my Sierra bumper.

Ive got a pal that does it with a soldering iron and a piece of plastic cut from a paint pail, he,s pretty good at it.

Yep I have one, great things, very easy to pick up.
Better to use the same type of plastic if you are filling in holes, different plastics sometimes dont bond together.
i usually use a bit of an old bumper or cut off a part of the original one thats hidden from view

Well, I took the plunge and bought a Sealey plastic welding kit and had a go at the Sierra bumper yesterday - easy to use and all fixed up now. So much fun I also fixed the spare one which was cracked too.

The fun part was the welding - bumper easy to find - tucked away behind the shed
