Question What's The Best Way To Repair Plastic Pieces ??

I am looking for ways to make repairs to plastic pieces prior to plating. I am going to be working on automotive items mostly such as dashes and small trim pieces. Mostly the repairs are going to be for chips, scuffs and cracks. Also what is the best way to determine what type of plastic it is?
Will a plastic welder work on all types of plastic??
Can a bondo type filler be used, or, what is the best filler?
Thanks for the help.

Default Re: What's The Best Way To Repair Plastic Pieces ??

the best way to repair plastic is using 3m duramix products u can find them at auto body supply store. don't waste ur time with the plastic welder too much identification ****. Use the 4040, or the 4058 that stuff sticks to every thing and doesn't crack kind of hard to sand once cured but that's good I guess. Hope that helped
