bobbo Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Have you done all the plastic welding yourself? Been considering doing mine and wondering how difficult it is without any experience? Yours looks good if its the first time you've done it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been considering doing mine and wondering how difficult it is without any experience? Yours looks good if its the first time you've done it!its easy enough , £6.99 on a soldering iron with a thick tip and off you go. just take your time and think ahead and you will manage fine .
