An afterthought about the blade modifications.
You will only be able to cut in one direction so if right handed then you would have to cut away the right side of the blade as you will be working from right to left, and the opposite if you are left handed like I am. Assuming that the weld bead is on the edge of the part.
If you want to work in both directions then you could grind away from both sides leaving a small blade in the middle which allows bi-directional planing. If you make the plane handed then you will have a larger non cutting sole area to rest on the plastic.
