well i sort of do,
but its hard to explain rele, best trying get sum1 show u
well u'll need sumthing like a heat gun (cheapest opinion) praps harder to do with this tho
or you need sumthing like tht' that gets hot, with a point on the end, (minds blank cant think what they are called)
then you just melt the plastis together,
but if its a split you want to repair make sure u drill a small hole at the end so it doesnt get bigger,

i aint a technician at it tho :lol: :lol:
