Where can I find ABS "welding rods" in attex yellow?

Hey everyone. I am looking at repairing my new attex.

I have heard that there is Welding rod i can use to fix the tub.

Is this the best way to fix large cracks, where can I find this stuff, how much will i need and how much is it?

I have found that with ABS, the black welding rod works the best ( white/ opaque/ natural seems best for poly). even if you do find yellow rod, the welding process will burn it a bit so you won't have a color match. If you want to match color, try welding then apply a thin layer of "ABS GOO" (search here on the site for it). I've had good luck with welding ABS and the goo method. I get all my plastic welding supplies from Home | Plastic Tanks | Plastic Buckets | Plastic Bottles | Labware | Plastic Tubing | PVC Pipe | U.S. Plastic Corp.

awesome thanks racerone3
How hard is it to get good strong welds? I want this machine to be strong when repaired

is there a video or guide to doing the repair on the forum somewhere?

Congrats on the new toy. Check the frame for a vin. I'm not positive thats where its at on the older machines, but I know some have it on the frame by the rear axle. I wish those were the "bad cracks" on my machine.
