Someone was telling me that I can get the damaged fairing panels from my SV repaired by platic welding?

Anyone know anything about this?

Cheers

Don't you have to buy the welder too though? Which costs more like 100 quid for a fairly cheapo one?

Not for the plastec kit. It has two reacting chemicals rather than one you melt.
