When repairing plastic, the damaged area is first "V'd" out, or beveled. Large bonding areas are desirable when
repairing plastic because small repairs are less likely to hold permanently. Beveling the area around a crack at a
20° angle will increase the bonding surface for a repair. It is recommended that sharp edges be avoided because
the joint may show through after the panel is refinished.
