Great work, I have only every seen this done by crosshatching with a soldiering iron, much cleaner and stronger to add some additional plastic.

Hi Rick, thanks! I’m really happy with the result. Matching the temperature and rod to the material to be repaired seems to be the key. As the name implies, using the fusion technique actually integrates the rod material into the original material. Here’s the Polyvance video on the 5700 unit. It’s worth a watch if you’re interested in plastic repair.
