Anyone ever try to Weld Plastic together?

Hit a tree with my ATV and shattered the 1/8" thick front fender.






Just bought a Harbor Freight welding kit that uses a heating element to melt steel mesh on the backside along the cracks. For $20 going to use that steel mesh as a base foundation to lock together the jigsaw pieces of Humpty Dumpty.

Going to have to be careful not to melt through the top coat. Hope to save the fender color of Immersion Blue that was only made for 2007 2008. So used ones on the market are rare or unobtainium.

Anyone played with one of these?
