Default Does anyone know a plastic welder in s.e Burbs???

I damaged/ split the right rear skirt on the ute. :
Im pretty sure it could be welded back together.

It took a good hour to get the bloody thing off too. Dam if there wasn't half a tube of selastic type stuff holding the sucker on there. :

So does anyone know a plastic welder that could have a look at it and tell me if it can be fixed and what it would cost. I would prefer someone out towards the Cranbourne area. :

Thanks all.

what a shame i didnt see your thread sooner kev. i am a plastic welder and i was in the se subs today.

do you or anyone know what the kit is made out of? is it ABS plastic???
if it is it will be **** easy to weld up..

the only thing is i'd have to remove the paint from the area to repair it properly, so you'd have to get it repainted........

No Idea what it is made of. It doesnt look like fiberglass thats for sure. It seams to have layers to it if that makes sence. Having to get it repainted is not a problem.
Bugger I see you are in Geelong.

Custom bike repairs in Dandenong do a great job, they fixed two of my roadbikes as good as new after they were damaged.
