Polyvance ATV Plastic Welder Kit | ATVPRO
Product Overview
The Polyvance ATV Plastic Welder Kit is a comprehensive, airless welding solution engineered specifically to repair the cracked, torn, and heavily abused plastics found on all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and dirt bikes. Replacing powersports body panels can be incredibly expensive, and standard epoxies or glues almost always fail under the intense vibration and chassis flex of trail riding. This kit allows you to perform permanent, structural fusion welds at a fraction of the cost of a new fender.
Designed to be highly accessible for both collision professionals and DIY enthusiasts, the kit requires no prior welding experience or compressed air. It utilizes an airless heating element paired with a specialized melting tip to physically fuse the broken base plastic with new filler rod. When combined with the included stainless steel reinforcing mesh, the resulting repair is often stronger than the original factory plastic, ensuring your gear is ready to head back out on the trail.
Key Features
-
Heavy-Duty Airless Welder: The core of the kit is a high-heat, airless welding iron that requires no external air compressor. It delivers the concentrated, direct heat necessary to achieve a deep fusion melt on thick recreational plastics.
-
Bigfoot Welding Tip: Included in the kit is Polyvance’s specialized Bigfoot tip. Its flat, shoe-like profile is perfect for plunging deep into cracks to mix the base material and filler rod, and then flattening and smoothing the weld for a cleaner finish.
-
Structural Reinforcement Mesh: For high-stress areas (like fender mounting tabs or deep structural tears), the kit includes a 5" x 10" sheet of stainless steel wire mesh. Melting this mesh into the backside of the crack acts just like rebar in concrete, drastically increasing the structural integrity of the repair.
- Application-Specific Rods: The kit includes thirty 12-inch plastic welding rods featuring a 1/8" round profile. Depending on the specific variant selected, the kit is optimized for either Polypropylene (PP) or Polyethylene (HDPE/LDPE), the two most common plastics used in off-road powersports.

Common Questions (FAQs)
Q: How do I know whether to choose Polypropylene (PP) or Polyethylene (PE) rods?
A: You need to match the welding rod to the base material of your vehicle. Look at the back of the cracked panel for a molded plastic identification symbol. If it says "PP", you need Polypropylene rods. If it says "PE", "HDPE", or "LDPE", you need Polyethylene rods.
Q: Can I sand and paint the repair when I'm done?
A: If your fender is made of Polypropylene (PP), you can sand it smooth and follow standard automotive refinishing processes to paint it. However, if the fender is Polyethylene (PE), it is virtually impossible to get paint to adhere properly. For unpainted plastics, you can sand the weld smooth and lightly hit it with a heat gun or blowtorch to restore a glossy finish.
What is the difference between LDPE and HDPE rods?
A: LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) has a lower melting point, making it slightly easier to flow into cracks and work with. HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) is slightly tougher and more abrasion-resistant. For typical powersports repairs, the practical difference is minimal, though LDPE is generally recommended for an easier, smoother welding experience.
