It's a shame that such a part needs a repair, but what a good job you did! Thanks for the demonstration!

I repaired my oven door handle using this method. Worked perfectly. A little tedious, but it is as strong as it needs to be. Thanks!

Back in the 70's I used to make my tank models with a solder gun, not sure why its suddenly a new idea to repair plastic with an iron.

[@ecologicaltime]

definitely not new. Apparently its been around since the 70's by a guy who made tank models :) (my role is just to demonstrate)

KZbin wasn't around in the 70's to share the knowledge with others.
