Plastic welding

Are you using a solder iron to weld? What details of the process can you provide? I have some motorcycle plastics that need to be fixed, and I'd really like to make them look like they're supposed to look before I sell them, from a Ninja 250.

I've never welded plastic before... Can I just use another scrap piece of the same type of plastic as a filler?

I've heard that you can "glue" ABS using acetone... know anything about that? Supposedly, it discombobulates the plastic and allows the two discombobulated sections to stick together as though they had been formed that way. Sounds iffy...
