I have a Polyvance PlastiFix kit in my plastic welding stuff, but save your money, it’s just baking soda and super glue.

The one advantage you get with the kit is that it comes in black or white, a great applicator tip and it comes with a bunch of heat-moldable plastic that’s used for recreating tabs when their lost. The polyvance kit is the same price as the link you provided on Amazon.

I used a bunch of it on my Triumph fairing when I was taking plastic welding at the local CC.

I've repaired a Chevy Cruze rear fender cover by heating a 1/16" piece of bent heavy wire in a propane heater and " plastic welded" the crack back together .
Thanks just confirming that baking sofa and crazy glue for me anyway is not a real solution better to go back to Fibral fibreglass powder set and cloth
Ray, the plastifix repair is super strong. As the second video I posted shows, you can actually make a new tab with it and it’s as strong as the original. You can also apply it over mesh. I use SS door/window screen material that is about $3/sq ft at Ace.

A “plastic welder” is basically an adjustable solder gun with broader tips. I’m sure any solder gun would work for most plastics.
Thanks for the info @dlearl476
