Then I used the dremel tool to smooth out the jagged edges to clean it up a little. We're doing a fix job on this bike using as little $ as possible. So this will work for now. We just want to get this bike back on the road so later on the owner can buy this $170 part but for now that's not in the budget. :P





Above I took a flat file and proceeded to smooth out the rough plastic weld material. The plastic weld is so strong that sandpaper doesn't do very much at all. A metal file did the job of smoothing down the majority of the surface to prep it for some Thin Ice. Not bad. Later on the smooth coat will be applied over the scratches and sanded down in preparation for paint.
