Weld plastic professionally Here we show you the process of plastic welding and a variety of applications using a heatgun (lowtech) and a professional plastic welding gun.

User Location: Lamu, Kenya

Steps

Step 1: Watch

In this video we show you:

  • the equipment that can be used for plastic welding and how it works
  • how to make a "sandwich plank" (a big beam out of normal plastic planks)
  • how to make a T-profile
  • how to seal gaps of a boat hull

Step 2: Try it yourself!

There is so many more things you could do with this technique - let your creativity flow!

You can try this technique in a low-tech way with a conventional heat gun,

  • or maybe you even get the professional tool,
  • OR maybe you can even come up with a modification for a heatgun to do it more professionally? Let us know!
