Watching a restoration crew in Sedona handle a vintage fender flare changed my approach to plastic welding.
They used a specific low-temp setting on their welder and a backing strip I'd never considered, so what's your go-to method for tricky ABS repairs?

Okay, "changed my approach" is putting it lightly. I saw a guy try to fix a lawnmower cover with a soldering iron and a butter knife, so honestly, a backing strip sounds like NASA work. My go-to method is usually a lot of cussing and then ordering a new part online. What kind of backing strip are we even talking about here?

Oh man, I read about using a strip cut from a plastic jug for that kind of thing.
