We used to do some repairs where I work on some large containers. The set up we had was like a heat gun that had several different size tips and then some filler rods. You pretty much did it like Brazing.

Plastic Welding
Hello, Anyone know any thing about or have experience with plastic welding? Thanks for your time,

Like Dave 59 said.....Its similar to brazing, When i had ATC's my Sons and i road them hard and as a consequence we cracked our share of plastic, And i bought a welding kit [a soldering iron and multi colored plastic rods]....And if you can match the color it does a good job....But i wouldn't use it on my street bikes, Its a crude repair at best ;IE, Just to stop the cracked piece from completely braking off, Like an open hart surgery scar...

We have a company in town here that is great ... they can "weld" just about any plastic. Really kewl.
Anyway, I didn't know you needed to winterize the water tank ... so of course the winter cold froze the water and cracked the tank. After spending about $150 on "adhesives" to repair it to no avail, someone told me to take it to this company and get it welded. Twenty dollars later it was fixed never had a problem again.
