never done it myself but the guy i use to spray my stuff uses a sort of soldering iron and a rod of plastic as though it was metal. he does all sorts of repairs with it like that.

Give it a go mate! I would be interested in finding out a bit more and how well it works!

In the distant past I have heard of Plastic lenses being cut and shaped by heating etc.

That looks pretty good! Did you use the kit from e-bay you posted, or something else?
