Hi 👋 yes you could definitely weld directly to the job without a patch, adding a patch is just another option 👍

Hi 👋 the welding machine is a "Leister Triac-ST" you can buy from eBay around £150 for a used machine. For a brand new machine it will cost £350 - £400 www.google.com/shopping/product/1?q=leister+hot+air+gun&sca_esv=281e988bd194038a&hl=en-GB&tbs=vw:l&sxsrf=ADLYWIII5UibH-6GTbcR6QM4GnYJCpiTSg:1731591001608&prds=num:1,of:1,eto:16932870982591667251_0,prmr:1,cs:1

@ankywibowo Hi 👋 thanks for kind comment! you want to fabricate 616mm diameter from flat sheet ?

@allkraftdesign6120 yess… can you give me the best method to fabricate the cylinder? I’m planning to use PP sheet with 8 mm or 10 mm thickness

Hi, so if you want to roll 616mm then 10mm or 8mm will be too thick to roll, you will probably need to drop down to 4.5mm, to get the length of the sheet when flat take: diameter + sheet thickness × pi = flat sheet dimension (616 + 4.5 × 3.142 = 1949.6) this will give 616mm inside the cylinder or (616 - 4.5 × 3.142 = 1921.3) this will give you 616mm outside the cylinder. I would weld both inside and outside so chamfer both ends on each side to take the filler rod, underneath is a link where 3mm thick polypropylene sheet is rolled to approximately 400mm diameter, if you need anymore info please ask

@@allkraftdesign6120 nice… I’ll try to forming then give the update… Thanks..

Hi 👋 thanks for the kind comment! Applying heat to materials sometimes plays a part in weakening, PVC is super brittle, it was always going to break hitting it with a big hammer, breaking down near the weld I think was the most natural place for it to go, thanks again for watching!

Hi 👋 thank you for the very kind comment! The link below should get you any filler rod materials you need: hilltop-products.co.uk/searchanise/result?q=pvc%20welding%20rod The plastic scraper used in the video is custom made, the link below will show you how to make it: th-cam.com/video/foiB_TJXs4k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=s1Gi7TrL1o3Gi9Ap The heat gun is a "Leister Triac-ST" they're going for around £100 second hand, brand new they're quite expensive around £300-£400, they're the best quality plastic welding torches on on the market, hope that's helpful! Thanks again for watching

Hi, thanks for the comment! Definitely a great idea to double bevel for certain applications to get fusion through thickness of sheet and add some extra strength to the job👍 thanks again for the comment!

Hi 👋 thank you for the kind comment! The welding temperature of hdpe is around 300°C. When to much heat is applied to Polyethylene it starts to look wet around the heated area so if that happens just turn the temp down a little, if the filler rod hasn't got a nice bead of melted material along both sides then you can turn the temp up a little. Hope that's helpful for you, thanks again for comments!

Hi, yes you can definitely use the same technique with polypropylene, its more common to speed weld polypropylene but when welding small intricate pieces or small diameter pipe it comes in really handy to manually weld. Thanks for the comment!

Hi 👋 thank you for the kind comment! Good question🤔I've fabricated and welded acrylic sheet (usually the transparent stuff) but never tried welding an acrylic bathtub, not sure if they have some kind of coating on the surface which would make any thermosoftening plastic difficult to weld, surface repair technicians would typically be used on this type of issue. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Thanks again for the very kind comment 👍

Hi 👋 apologies, I don't repair upvc windows for a living, the video was just a bit of an example or guide for work that can be done with a plastic heat gun. I do know someone who is based in the midlands area who can repair window frames and all kinds of other surfaces! I can pass his details on if that is any good to you. Thank you for the kind comment!

@@allkraftdesign6120 It looked like a professional job to me! I am based in London, so if you know someone.. :-)

@jasonm106 hi 👋 thank you for the comment! The brand of heat gun is called - Leister and the model is the Triac-ST, the filler rod is Pvc, you can get 3mm diameter or 5.7mm - 3 core which is fairly chunky stuff. Thanks again for the comment!

@CajunPat Hi 👋 thank you for the kind comments! PP & PE are two different types of plastic and won't fuse together no matter what temperature you set the welding torch at, glue wouldn't work either, the only thing I can think of is to pin them using screws. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

Thanks for the kind comment 👍

Hi Steve 👋 thanks for the comment! repairing a crack/gap like the one in the video to the same quality finish in a quarter of the time, I would love to see that video. Thanks again for the kind comment. 👍

Hi, apologies for the delayed reply! The welding gun is 110volt and 1600watts, thanks for watching the video, hope you enjoyed! Happy welding.

Hi, for polypropylene it's around 280°C, if you're not getting a good uniform amount of melted material along the side of the welding rod turn the temp up a bit, if lumps of melted material are forming along the side or material is spitting out onto the surface then the temp should be dropped, hope that's helpful! Thanks for the comment.

Hi, thank you for the kind comment! The scraper from the video is a bespoke made tool, I'm not sure you can buy them off the shelf, I haven't seen one yet. There's a link below on how to make the scraper, if that's not your thing I could make one for you 👍 I would have to order the material to make it. th-cam.com/video/foiB_TJXs4k/w-d-xo.html

@@allkraftdesign6120 Thank you for the kind offer, im going to give it a go with a scraper off of amazon, it'll be inferior but might just do the job.

No probs, Happy to help, Good luck with the pvc work! Thanks again for watching the video.

Hi 👋 thank you for the kind comment, glad you enjoyed!

Hi, Thank you for the very kind comment!

Thank you!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed 👍

Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

Hi 👋 you can purchase a used Leister Triac-ST heat gun for around £100 - £150, if you purchase brand new they're around £300

Hi 👋 Thank you very much for the kind comment! Glad you enjoyed!

Hi, Yes will definitely be posting more content in the future!

th-cam.com/video/Lv52fes_1t0/w-d-xo.html Thanks for your comment👍 please click the link above

Hi 👋 do you mean for a welding torch? If so you can purchase one second hand for around £100

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed.. Happy welding 👍

Hi, Thanks for the comment! your 100% right its defo not the best way, the video was just showing that socket fusion isn't the only option for joining plastic pipe. Thanks again for comment👍

Hi, thank you very much for the kind comments! The PVC is definitely 9mm, pvc sheet thicknesses we use are usually 3 , 4.5 , 6 , 9 and 12mm occasionally we us 20mm & 25mm for some fabrications. Thanks again for the comments!
