Perdido,

I have not performed this repair myself but have seen a demo video that shows it to be rather easy. Heat the powder in a non-stick pan. Just hot enough to melt the powder and make it gooey like molasses. Use a flexible putty knife to spread over hole or area to be repaired.

It is best to rough up the area first so roplene sticks better. You must work quickly as the roplene cools fast and will harden, making the bond with the old surface less durable.

Rough sand, then finish sand and complete with a light buffing. I would not use this method in an area requiring high strength repair. For that, the plastic welding, discussed in several threads, should be used.

Hope this helps. Codfish
