I used plastex on mine for making lugs etc, it's a piece of piss. Comes with instructions, but as said, YouTube has a couple of vids. A dremel is recommended, as it sets harder that the fairing it's attached to and can be a bitch to sand smooth.

Hi go get yourself a soldering iron,buy some abs rods and have a go at hot welding.Have a practice on some scrap plastic .This is very good for strengthening weak points inside all panels.
