=>I picked up a vinyl repair kit for a couple of bucks at PepBoys.  Does
=>anybody know if this stuff works?  I have some scrap to try it on, but in
=>true form, I haven't done it yet.  It has like 8 color mixing dyes and a
=>soldering iron with a flat disc for a tip, as well as various
=>spreaders and
=>stuff.  Looked promising.  What do you guys think?
