RE: [Paddlewise] tools for plastic repair

Hello Paddlers

I know several on this list are into plastic kayak rentals and perhaps there are others with the information.

Can anyone direct me to a "tool supply company" or similar, where I can get tools to do minor plastic repairs?

My usual repair job is... deep scratches on the boats.  I use a propane torch and soldering iron to remelt the plastic.  This does a fair job but I'm thinking there should be some 'irons' that have a flat head, or some tool designed specifically for plastic repair on a small scale, that would do a better job.

Thanks for any info.
