QUOTE(Ferg @ Dec 7 2007, 09:05 PM)  If there are two guys out there that have the part and won't sell it to you for $300 then they need to have their head examined even more than you!

Show me the part. But it had better be perfect. other than a little dust. Money waiting! Don't let me down - every one else has for 3 years! Pat |

A body shop that I used to work at had a plastic welder, before the repair epoxies were as good as they are now. It was basically an electric soldering iron with a shoe shaped like a regular household iron, but it was only 1" long and 1/2" wide. It had a hole in the middle with a small tube brazed to the shoe for adding material to the middle of the heated area. It came with little sticks of plastic- PP, PE, Urethane, etc., like you get with a hot glue gun, but only 4-5mm dia. We would spray it with Pam so that the plastic wouldn't stick to the shoe.
We fixed a lot of plastic bumpers with that thing. I had an Ultratorch, a butane soldering iron, with a similar shoe, but no hole and little tube. I used it several times to fix broken plastic things over the years, but it finally died and I trashed it. I think that with any soldering iron with a shoe like that and a lot of practice you'll be able to fix a rain tray. I understand that you have several to practice on. I even fixed a 4" gash in a kayak with it once, it came out pretty good after I gently warmed it with a propane torch to blend the edges of the repair. |
