Folks,
Welded a ton of it.
At my gov job I made all kinds of plastic apparatus for those
crazy bugger Engineers. ( their SO Smart they`d have to be somewhat crazy)!
Make sure you match the rod with the item being welded!
Hi density poly or low etc.
It would be really nice if you had a piece to test weld.
The system basically just uses hot forced air as the heat source.
And really, with all of the equipment, gas tanks & supplies (lots of beer:)
That oversized tank for sale is sounding better & better?
Group discount?
