Buckster Posted July 16, 2025 Share Posted July 16, 2025 Has anyone done this? I have bought some CVO panniers but they have cutouts for a Harley amp, I want to fill the cutouts and was thinking of trying to weld plastic in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Posted July 16, 2025 Share Posted July 16, 2025 Use a soldering iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 I've always used glues on bumper repairs which can be hit and miss. I've been looking at this myself as well as the heated wire which is great for getting some strength back in. Watching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted July 17, 2025 Author Share Posted July 17, 2025 I have a good hot air gun used for soldering SMD’s so I’m thinking of using that with some abs rods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally when someone says “trust me”, it means they have no clue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how good they are though The additive kits seem to be a soldering iron with a tube to feed the plastic through, I was thinking of doing something similar to when I weld aluminium, put some sort of backing plate in then do an additive weld. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
