I have about a 1and a half crack in one of my plastic panels. I plan to paint them but i was wondering is there any way of hiding this crack. Melting, glue, some type of resin???

Sounds like a good place for bondo body filler.

The bondo definately doesnt work, it has no strength on the other side to hold to so it just cracked again. Any other ideas or where can I find this plastic welder?

Hey thanks for checking back in and letting us know. Im sorry if I led ya to think that I had tried the bondo because I havent. I just thought it would work. Again thanks for letting us know it doesnt. Perhaps you could cover both sides with some material?

Stop a local hobby/model shop in your area and buy a little bottle of glue called "Plastiweld" made by Plastruct. It costs about $4.00 and will stick to mosts plastics.
