    Hiy aneed some advice on best way to repair fairing. Unfortunate drop has craked off some of the fairing holding the bubble screen, got most of the bits but some cracks need filling in.
    Is plastic weld best? Then sand and touch up or is there some miracle cure out there?
    Here’s hoping.

    you can plastic weld with a soldering iron and cable ties if you have all the bits but doubt you’d be able to use the same method to fill any holes

    Sid’s cable tie idea sounds good. Hot air welding kits are coming down in price and are a sound investment. Have a peek at this vid and the ones it brings up afterwards:

    Good luck and don’t breathe in any of the fumes!
