Seems we're not the first to have the soldering iron idea for repairing plastic lures:

I several of those in my drawer at work-you can buy the kits that come with tips that convert it to a blow torch for lighting cigars or melting heat shrink, a blade style that works well for repairing lures etc. And the butane is readily available from your local Circle K.
One of my favorite of all time work tools.

I had/have one of those made by Cortland and it isn't appropriate for fixing dawgs. A Yamamoto Double Hula maybe but not a Dawg, works great for cutting braid though and sealing the end so it doesn't fray.

I heard that it can get thick and can be thinned with MEK. C'mon chemists… would that make it methylene chloride?
MEK = methyl ethyl ketone
We have it by the 5 gallon bucket, I will try it on soft plastic and get back to you. I avoid that stuff at all costs, definitely not good for you. The MSDS confirms it and I am surprised we still get away with using it.

Don't bother, it doesn't do anything.
