[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Due to his fantastic connections in the motorcycle world our man Brian has built up some what of a reputation for himself as being the go-to man when it comes to motorcycle repairs using the specialist skills of plastic welding.

We let Brian loose with our spare Capri dash, just to see wether he could turn his hand to more than just motorcycles.

Welding of thermoplastics is accomplished in three sequential stages, namely surface preparation, application of heat and pressure, and cooling.
