Plastic welding

[jcrosswhite]

I just wanted to share a welding tip I had a few long cracks in my upper body on my hustler and I found that if you get some aluminum window screen from you’re local hard ware store and melt it to the inside of you’re hull it adds a little strength and it also aids in holding the pieces together I also found Mc Master has HDPE rod for around $9.00 for 200’ part # 7889A35

Pics

We would like to see some pictures of what you have done, or I would, at least. It sounds like it would work and be pretty strong.
I had attempted using a 3M product, and they suggested using a material that would be similar to window screen. BTW the 3M product did not hold.

Plastic welding

I saw the post about plastic welding a while back so when a neighbor said hr had a plastic tank with a hole in it i just had to give it a try. after all if it didn't work it already had a hole so he wouldn't be out nothing.so i got a dooner pice of plastic off of a tank i butchered to make a wood box.(didn't see the post in time lol) But low and behold it held.
