Does this weld Polyethylene well, and will it weld a 3' crack in a Poly dock?

Jabin R is 100% right. This tool is up for any job. It's your time learning to use the heat properly and time spent preparing the crack. There are instructions with this product. The better you get the higher the heat you can use. Make sure you clean the area extremely well. Then clean it again. Truly great product. Payed for itself on the first job.

I think it will work great. I have used it on multiple jobs om many different tipes of plastic and it has always done the job.

This product should weld any crack of any size. The technique requires practice and I will tell you the quality of the welds depend on your ability and the time spent on proper preparation. The product is up for any kob.

The kit will weld polyethylene quite well. Several factors may influence your results... For example your need for aesthetics. If your are more concerned with an effective repair than cosmetic appeal, you can make a good repair with the tools. You might consider the welding stock size and shape for the repair. It can make a difference. Good Luck

Hey K.O, I don't think this welder would be beneficial it is made for repairing hobie kayaks which are type 2 plastic so the gun is made to reach that certain temperature for molding that type of plastic and what not. So therefore I would not purchase this welder for that issue.

My adapter will protect a pinch with a weld depth up to a little more than 3/4"

A plastic welding epoxy putty would work better if it is a crack in the plastic.You would want to roughen up and then clean the area first before you seal it over.

A good question. I suspect that it would depend upon the location of the repair. The weld material is designed to be rigid once cured. If the repair area remains oriented on one dimensional plane throughout its function, then the repair would probably hold. If the repair area is subject to repeated flexing on one or more axis, I think you'd be asking a great deal of the weld. Good luck with your repair.

It welds aluminum fine . Ive done several jobs with it for aluminum, all small stuff nothing over 1/8 thickness .never had a problem with the machine just takes a few trys to find the sweet spot for the balance and frequency

Schedule 80 PVS would be a gamble in my opinion, rated at 21 to 1200PSI. If your application is high pressure I would not trust the welds. I maybe wrong. My experiences are uses not under high pressure conditions. Not sure if this helped you or not. Best applications seems to be automotive body work.

Yes it will weld up to 1/4 steel to weld thicker steel u can make multiple passes like the other gentleman said you want bigger wire and tip and argon gas as well practice first and get to where you can make a noise similar to the sizzle of bacon frying

I have used this welder to repair polypropylene parts on an older 4 wheeler with good results. The manual says it can be used on ABS.Don

If the fishtank is Plexiglas you could weld the pieces together. But that part won't be clear. Is the area with the break a part that you would want to see through?

Yes it does. The metal is real weak at the weld points.... ours broke after like 2 months; It worked great until it broke. I had to have it re-welded.

yes it will. I use it in automotive repair like plastic bumpers, interior parts etc. also I have used it in the house on plastic materials. it comes with some weld rods and a book on how to order more or other types of rods for different types of plastic.

No its not suitable to weld much of anything. It will also Cost you more to setup for a tig package then it will to just buy a new lincoln welder.

I think it will. The only problem I see is the heat. JB Weld has held up to everything else I have thrown at it. Balancing its small cost against the risk of failure, my advice is to try it. The worst that can happen is that it doesn't work but you still have partial tubes of the stuff for the future. It is always handy to have around!

Yes, I believe so. 2 Mil LDPE is certainly strong enough for the application you have described.

The webbing is just like any type of nylon webbing. It is very strong and sturdy, and I bet it would hold the dock well and last for a good amount of time as long as no chemicals come in contact with the webbing. I used it sewn together and it worked well under pressure.
