Sorry for the delay, but thanks again for quick responses and the attached threads for some light reading. I understand I need to bone up on my plastic welding ability of which, to date, I have none. It sounds like welding ABS is a breeze, but I wonder what setup is preferred. Maybe a Harbor Freight model is perfectly fine, and is what I should get, but I'm at a point in my life where I tend to prefer buying quality first, which only hurts once. Thanks.
