yeah, i was just using a soldering iron, with a pointed tip. only tip i can give you is that soldering irons melt plastic FAST so start light and fast.

im going to try and experiment with some different tips i have from my wood burning kit.

and another thing, not all plastics melt the same. i tried to do this to the aftermarket magazine plate for my PF-9 mags, but that plastic is too brittle. i suggest you try the first few marks on a inconspicuous area so if it doens't work well you can just sand paper it down and make it flat again
