shadetree 5,970 Posted October 10, 2021 i do not do plastic welding, so can't answer this. as far as each model with honda plastics ?, pretty much every plastic part is made from injection molding. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LedFTed 1,142 Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) hey shade; i used my soldering iron, to patch a tab the broke off. now i want to get the access of without scoring the plastic around the weld. heard anybody talk about doing this? i know i have, just cant remember, at the moment, i'll ask goober.. [on the side] i using my Weller soldering gun for electronics, and the electric fence has insulators, that are the same colour as my bike. they melt and fill the cracks good. they are also injection molded..

toodeep 1,760 Posted October 28, 2021 To my knowledge Honda still uses polyethylene for their main plastics. I use many things from air grinder, dremel, the soldering gun, razor blade or whatever that might do the job to smooth up the plastic and remove unwanted material. I've welded many different types of plastics over the years and just do a burn test to determine which type it is. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
