Plastic Welding
Plastic welding is the process of creating a bond between two compatible polymers.
There are two major stages.
Heating allows a bond to form between the
welding rod and the faying surface of the
repaired component (melt-mixing).
Cooling, layer by layer, is necessary to solidify
the newly-formed bond; this stage can have a
significant effect on strength of the finished weld.

the damage, is it realistic to repair rather than to
replace?
