    Pelletized caustic soda is available from Bunnings in different sized tubs.

    Correct ABS plastic welding rod is far easier to use than cut up bits of fascia and is reasonably cheap.
    Where to get it.... http://lmgtfy.com/?q=http://www.miplastics.com.au/

    The correct colour for GTS fascias is Dulon Suede Black.

    With the correct tools and ABS rod you get a much neater finish....

    Cool, righto.. What do you do with the fascia?? Just put it in the pellets or do you have to put some liquid in with the pellets to make a solution???

    I will be trying to get some of the correct paint for it.. I would be over the moon if mine will come up half as good as yours..

    Thanks for the help mate..
    Cheers,
    Matt
