Plastic welding?
Well it's a welding query, just not my usual metal variety.
Bought a couple of kayaks today, with a couple of minor dings so have been onto Youtube to do my apprenticeship on plastic welding, and it seems the best way to do it is with a plastic welder - who'd a thunk it? Seems Leister is the professional one for $1000+, or these on Ebay for $20
Anyone had a go at plastic welding with a hot air welder? I have a normal heatgun and was immediately suspicious of Youtubers using something that would heat such a large area and turn my kayak to goop, so one of these finely directed hot air guns look the deal. It's only $20, but my usage would be very low so would not consider any professional heatguns.
All advice greatly appreciated.
