Ya know how much JB Weld I can buy for that ????.....and if I want metal re-inforcement, just heat a staple gun staple with a blowtorch and use that like I have been doing for about 30 years.....they cost about 1/10 of a cent each.
I think the repair looks like Sh!t with that staple sticking out like that, I'll stick with the soldering iron and zip ties as well, isn't that what the flat blade was made for anyway.

To be fair, it did say in the video to cut the ends off, smooth the plastic over the tips, then prime and paint.

Steel reinforced repair, I have had JB weld fail on me several times because it wouldn't hold plastic. But if I reinforced it first with a wire. I like the idea just not the price. But if I worked in a shop it would be a nice tool to have on the shelf.

I have embedded steel ( and plastic ) window screen scraps in things before.

I have repaired cracks in plastic bumpers on cars such as our Fieros twice now by roughing up the area on the inside and generosity using bondo as glue glue strips of plastic from a old bumper or plastic door panel etc over the crack.
