Have tried plastic welding using both air plastic welder and a soldering iron. The plastic just smokes up and turns very brittle. Does not melt.

What have others done to fix their lips?

I was thinking araldite + fibreglass reinforcement across the cracks both inside and outside.

Any other ideas?

I'd just use some chopped strands of fibre glass, put some filler on, sand it, paint it.

I will be using csm on this internal side after the repair is made. Going to try and get my hands on one of these plastic welding rod devices.

Cheers!

Consider my question answered.
