plastic welder question

For anyone that's used one to fix cracks in gfx, what filler rod did you use? The gfx are made from PE but the only filler rods you get with the welder are ABS, PVC and PP. I couldn't get any of them to stick to the gfx.

you don't need to weld the gfx... all you need to use is flexible bumper epoxy to repair the plastic
