Portasol 11289210 Plastic Welding Kit

In the end, you buy this because you think it is convenient to use without a cord. There is a problem with the heater chamber (I have owned the device for under a year) and if it gets hot, there is no use for the whole device. You cannot purchase replacement pieces on their site, and most of the information on their site is invalid for North America. This is a pretty useless app Neither the company nor its products are as good as they could be.

It is challenging to make it work correctly although it is a great idea. It has been about 9 months since I bought it. For repair of interior plastic parts on a 1999, I bought this. think it would be awesome if there was a cordless version. As long as it is operational, it works well. To begin with, it is difficult to The container does not fill to capacity. Because it is very finicky to keep light, it also has to be kept clean. Would have been better if I had purchased the electric model. I would have been able to take better care of it.

For the occasional user, this is a great set. In the course of my work, a piece of plastic dash on a lawnmower broke. The mower was an old, broken piece that would require hours of disassembly to replace, on top of the fact that the part alone would have cost more than the mower itself. After ordering the kit, reading the directions for a few minutes and then repairing the crack within 15 minutes, I was finished. It only took a little sanding before you couldn't tell there were any problems. I and the customer were both able to save a significant amount of time and money with the solution.

The bracket attaches the panel to a metal frame in the dash. Without the fastener holding the panel in place, it looked kind of odd. It only took me a few minutes to coordinate the plastic code with one of the many provided plastic rods and make a strong bond using wire mesh, whereas two part plastic epoxy had previously failed to do so.

As a result of this, we have repaired broken items that in the past would have gone to the trash several times. Quite quickly, you will see its benefits!.

This would be an excellent tool to have at home or at I like how it welds and how versatile it can be when I use it. If you plan to use plastic, ensure it matches the material. In my opinion, the item is quite expensive I would prefer to buy the tip and separate soldering iron kit instead by the way, make sure you buy the 75W portasol solder iron, not the 125W The iron will also work with the Ersa 75W iron.

In the first place, it's almost impossible to plastic weld intricate things with plastic. There are just too many details in such a kit for this level of detail to be reached. There are ways to do it, and I've been successful at it, but it is very difficult. Secondly, it sometimes takes time to learn how to get your weld penetrate deep enough. There's no real reason to bond your new plastic just on top of your old, as that will just look like there's nothing there. In light of that, the kit works well for segments up to 6' in length. As I was planning on fixing some cracks in my wheel well, I bought it. It was it was As an additional use for this kit, I can see it fitting well for repairing bumper covers or bike panels. You will be able to maneuver much easier with a torch, and it is a great idea. There is a slight run out of the tank quickly, so a refill bottle should always be kept at the ready. My overall impression of the purchase is positive. Also, I have been able to pay for it in the period of There is simply one thing I would like to see done better.

The welder is small but does a good job for what it is. A heat gun will make the plastic work even better if you prepare it beforehand.
