PLASTIC REPAIR-Finally!!!!
I found this stuff last week, used it and ordered 6 more tubes.
If you hate those "spider cracks" around the screw holes of the interior panels that always come back no matter what you use or what technique you try, your probs are over!! It's made by Solder-It and called "Plastic Weld" and it is and it does! Part #PP-2.
I use a small butane torch turned down to a fine point. Works better than heat gun, IMO. Plaste cures at 195F.
80% of it's hardness in 5 minuites or less!
Comes in black or white paste. Well here's the info from the website.
www.Solder-It.com Click on the Plastic Weld link on the left side.
Solder-It Plastic Weld (PP-1, PP-2)
Solder-It Plastic Weld is the most recent addition to our paste line. Plastic Weld will bond most plastics using the heat of a torch or heat gun including:
o Vinyl
o Polypropylene
o Fiberglass
o Thermoset and similar
o Lexan
o ABS
o Polyethylene
o Polyurethane
o Nylon
o Delrin
o Acetate
o Styrene
o PVC
Plastic Weld will activate at approximately 195F and is easily applied from the syringe. You simply vee the joint, deposit the paste and heat. In 5 minutes, the bond reaches 80% of its strength and can be sanded, drilled, tapped, tapered, painted. After 12 hours it is 100% cured. Plastic Weld is available in two designer colors... Black and White.
Some common uses of Plastic Weld include repairs to ABS radiator tanks, overflow reservoir tanks, fan shrouds, bumper covers, grilles, fender skirts, PVC swimming pool lines, baths, PVC sprinkler systems, kitchen repairs.
Plastic Weld $8.00
PP-1 Solder-It Plastic Weld - White
PP-2 Solder-It Plastic Weld - Blac
YOU"LL LOVE IT.. TRUST ME!!! (no, I have nothing to do with their company)

Sounds good, thanks for the tip! 
Didn't Bogus or someone post re/ another super-duper plastic repair product a while back? I'd like to be reminded what it was too.

I'm gonna need some sort of visual confirmation that this method is effective before I go puttin the torch to my $100 each plastic interior pieces. They might be cracked around the screw holes but they damn sure arent melted
