Has anyone EVER found a way to fix broken plastic?

I've done quite a bit of plastic welding, I am forever breaking ATV plastics.

The plastic welding does indeed hold up very well, I like to use special-K's method and cut filler material off an inconspicuous area so I know for a fact the plastics are compatible. If I need reinforcement, I'll often add a small section of metal screen and weld it in place.

Problem is, while the weld can be strong, it won't be strong enough to handle leverage like a window crank or anything like that. And I've NEVER found anything that actually looks like new. The weld always shows. BUT, it might not be quite as noticable if you weld the backside of the panel instead of the front.
