Im borrowing this from a buddy and today I used the PVC rod and try to weld PVC pipes together, all I do is Burn the sh!t out of the PVC pipe and the Grey rod also.

I went from .5 psi of air to 5 psi and same crap.................

Im just trying this out as a different way of making my dashes, I figured it couldnt hurt to try, but its turning out to be a pain the in A$$.

I think ill just stick to my 10,000 ton epoxy, but the stuff is alot $$$$$


Anyone have advice for me ?

I had a USA 1 RC monster truck back in high school and the chassis was plastic. I broke it about 3 times and I used the heater and plastic rods to mend the chassis back together when I was in a "working with plastics" class. It worked awsome! I just kept breaking the chassis in different spots. I can tell you this advice, make sure you are using the correct rod for your application and practice, practice, practice!
