Sounds to me like super glue and baking powder. A few places on the net will say that using those two components will help make excellent plastic repairs. Ive done it on a cracked IT200 gas tank, and it worked well. However the gas eventually leaked through. I suspect it was from the fuel always sloshing around in there and flexing the plastic.

Never tried it on side panels, but it held fine on the gas tank.

I always use a soldering iron and a bit of the plastic you are trying to weld (cut off an unobtrusive bit) as a filler rod. Works well 90% of the time the other 10% is when I'm trying to weld the wrong kind of plastic.
