Araldite doesn't bond right to the catchers? bugger, i have not really used it much for catchers (haven't had to fix too many) but its done OK for dress cowls and wheel rubbers.
Must be something to do with the catcher plastic, as you have said.
Thanks for that heads up, I like your molten plastic idea, i do have a catcher that wants work, but is not important, i may use this as an experment with that and other methods.
Just one question, is there any particular reason not to use a heat gun as-well when melting the plastic?
