1 step closer....

to a paintless satoshi..
picked up a plastic welder today and played around a bit.
I cut 3 lines in a scrap piece ,
1st too cold and I overheated the work area
2nd too hot, wrong tip
3 is just about right

I used some of the same material as a welding rod (what a PITA to cut strips) heated it up a little and it flowed right in. I grinded the excess away and hit it with the sander with 220.. neds more sanding but this was only a test. It is a solid bond and fully workable.
I may not need filler and paint
