[bob vawter]

No T i'm serious...
i would LOVE to see a close-up of that bead...

[Royal Man]

Is it welding or a variation of hot glue?

 

[Bjorn]

yes dave it's just hot glue over 400 degress of hot glue

 

[bob vawter]

can you drill and glue in bungs wit NIP threads...........?

 

[Bjorn]

you cant thread this product do just about anything with it as you can with metal even with heat bend it.

still takes the same time to prep and weld this stuff as anything else

you can only weld the exact same material like hdpe can not be welded to Uhmw or Delrin

 

[bob vawter]

plastic bungs????????

 

[Bjorn]

they might have them some where as long as it's the same material it can be plastic welded

 

[bob vawter]

they might have them some where as long as it's the same material it can be plastic welded

thanks John least yur on the ball

 

[Captain Morgan]

sweet, no slag !! how long do the plastic welds need to cool or cure before you can use/put pressure on the seams, like if you were going to drill holes for handles, latches or other plumbing? is it a difficult technique? Do you just drag it through the edges of plastic or do you weave it? Sorry the picture of the bead didn't show up clearly on my computer.

Thanks T.
Bill

 

[bob vawter]

JHC...
I jus ASKED how you were gonna attach the ballcock.
a civil answer would suffice.......
t...yor thong must be a little tight.........................
number one: i was curious
number two: i could give a dED rats patudi 'bout yor little plastic box.....

[bob vawter]

LOL...apology accepted..........!

 

[Lefty724]

Hey I have one of those heat welders! Except I use mine to heat weld all the seams in my floors!

Is your 35 gallon waste tank made out of the same material? Same process? Water tank looks great!

 

[Vincent Feehan]

Looks nice Terry, I like the shop with Heater. You are quite a crafty guy.. Is Frostys still open ????

 

[Ross Buettner]

Hmm.. I was thinking of looking into getting a fresh water tank made up with that material.

Are there people out there that do that?

 

[sweendogg]

Contact Terry and he can make you a custom waste tank of that material.

So Terry, Can you thread this product? or "you cant thread this product"
I see where the confusion lies and why Bob was asking.

 

[bob vawter]

I see where the confusion lies and why Bob was asking.

[bob vawter]

Hey T....is THIS how you fill it up.....?

 

[Bjorn]

YES YOU CAN THREAD THIS PRODUCT

 

[bob vawter]
