Skip this question, please. My previous effort to flange the plastic used heat and put the plastic flush with the flange tool. This resulted in a too thin or comprised flange. I just re-flanged with a 1/8” or more sticking above the flange tool, and did it cold. Seems like it has more integrity. Will check under pressure tomorrow. So goes the learning experience!
