4:50 I believe it broke where it did because the sheet was weakened via indirect heating during the process of you laying the weld. The weld now became the strongest point hence it resisted breaking away there. Looks cool overall and nice weld you did. I wonder what kind of applications this would be useful for. Where load isn't a top concern, favoring a lightweight or cost effective solution (shelving units come to mind immediately) this could be cool. At the very least it looks fun to tinker with.
Hi no way👍 the thing with PVC is its very brittle, that's why in industry its usually combined with fibreglass for strength, if you was to take a peice of PVC and clamp it in a vice, then hit it with a hammer it would more than likely snap directly above the vice with no heat involved, similar to the video..directly above the weld, hope that's helpful, thanks for the comment 👍
If anything, heating up plastic and letting it cool makes it stronger, as it shrinks slightly and becomes more dense as the molecules bond closer together.
Decorative Pond shelving/shaping. It just sits there. This opens the possibility of a very cool pond layout. One can simply dig a big hole, use this process to build out it's layers, toss a foldable/hdpe liner over it, using the heat gun to crease/shape it properly. A sump pump can be easily put into this kind of rigging under the liner and it'll most likely protect it's plumbing, reducing the need to replace a leaky liner too often due to stuff from the surrounding dirt poking into the liner from the water weight/pressure. Interesting.
That's actually insane, I fab bridge girders and I always wondered if there was a process to weld plastic/pvc. You might have to cut a cross section to see penetration/toes of the weld. Thank you for Sharing sir.
I've welded may years and building a multi-pass fillet weld with plastic is very good, aesthetics don't always mean a sound weld, but you nailed it both ways. what is the plastic welder used, i need one now after seeing how well you used it?
Hi, thank you very much for the comment 👍 the welding gun is a Leister Triac ST, you can also buy the Leister speed nozzles, I've tried a few brands over the years but these nozzles always give a decent weld, thanks again for the message 👍
today i start practicing pvc welding, i always messed up the start and finish, and sometimes, the side of weld is burn 😂 thanks you for making this tutorial ❤
@@allkraftdesign6120 thanks for the response 👍 do you have any recomendation for welding rod? i have 5 mm and 8 mm pvc sheet, for the best result, should i use single core or double core rod?
Hi, to be honest it doesn't matter what type of rod you use, you could put multiple runs of single core down(3mm) or one or more runs of triangle rod down(5.7mm). If a certain welding rod fills a gap nicely then use it. Hope that's helpful, thanks for comment 👍
@@allkraftdesign6120 OK, I understand now. thanks for the advice 👍 i just realize that material i bought is not PVC sheet, but its called PVC foam board. 😅 have you ever welded PVC foam board? is it possible to weld?
To whom it may concern: this is actually pretty impressive in my 15 years of welding PE, PP, PVC (U&C), PVDF, PA ans so forth, with all kinds of welding processes I have seldom seen this done so well in this way. really impressive craftsmanship! I have only 1 remark, are you sure it was 9mm plate? I think it prolly was either 10 mm or an imperial dimension.
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!
is it the same material as a a drain pipe , because when i try to heat it it turns black before melting? at school i learned to weld pvc with the same equiptment u used and that went perfect ! is i a slightly different material? greetings Geert
Hi geert, it sounds like you have the temperature to high, you should be able to hold the heat directly on the PVC for a short while before it starts to burn. Hope that's helpful, thanks for comment geert 👍
You are either going too hot, or the other possibility is that the pipe is not PVC. In some areas ABS is used for drain pipes (also common in automotive and house appliances). Plastics have very different glassing (formable), melting and ignition temperatures - so identifying the material first is always essental. The weld rods also need to be the same type if you want a weld to actually fuse properly. For ABS spesifically, it needs to be hotter to melt, but also ignites sooner compared to PVC, making it much less forgiving - so this could maybe be the problem you experienced. Some materials like ABS can be cold-welded easily (acetone in the case of ABS), which can do the trick for smaller repairs
Impressive! Good job! Do you know which temperature is required for that ? Im trying to weld HDPE and use a hot air gun that has variable temperature but it's different from yours. Thanks!
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 the same technique with a heat gun can be used to weld UMHW, it is slightly more difficult to weld than HDPE and not all UMHW plastics can be welded, you will need suitable filler rod, HDPE fillet rod can be used
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 👋 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!
Lol.. I don't think the welding would last to long on the boom boom type, definitely a good material for building the other type of tank! Thank you very much for the kind comments👍 if you need any further info give me a shout.. Happy tank building!
The welding torch I'm using in the video is a Leister Triac ST, Leister heat guns and speed nozzles are the best products for welding plastic that I've used over the years
Hi 👋 I've never welded acrylic with heat and only ever used a glue to fabricate with it, don't think I've ever seen a welding rod for acrylic, polycarbonate is a durable clear plastic comparable to acrylic and can be welded with heat like in the video, let me know if you want any links for polycarbonate sheet and rod, hope that's helpful!

Hi 👋 I use plastic sheet suppliers local to my area the Midlands, Birmingham, you could order online it might be a bit more expensive, it comes in various sizes from 3mm to 25mm, I hope that's helpful!
Crazy it’s just like a fillet weld in metal. You should double bevel the end that contacts the base piece. Then fill in the bevels along with the other layers you did here. It’d be even stronger but maybe overkill.
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! Yes you can definitely use this method of welding on thinner sheet, the thinnest sheet we usually use industrially is 3mm but I'm sure you could get thinner stuff but you would have to take care not to warp it with the heat. Thanks again for the kind comment 👍
Hi👋 yes you can buy the filler rod, the rod in the video was a 3 core 5.7mm filler rod, you can also buy a smaller 3mm diameter filler rod. Thank you for the kind comment 👍
Hi 👋 the welding machine is a "Leister Triac-ST" you can buy from eBay around £150 for a used machine.

Hi, Alaska🙉.. no way that's absolutely awesome! youtube stretches far & wide, amazing. I've got some weld rod here I'll deliver it myself 😆🤣 !!! Seriously though its no problem I can send you some if need be 👍👍
Hi 👋 you can purchase plastic welding tools straight from LIESTER, the model of the welding gun used in the video is a TRIAC ST, you will also be able to get welding speed nozzle. Liester is the best brand for welding plastics, ebay is definitely worth looking at for a used hot air Welder and a lot more cost effective. Plastic materials are best purchased from a stockist, it's usually cheaper and the quality is better, you could also purchase from amazon but its usually smaller cuts of sheet and quality might not be as good. Oh and yes you can definitely weld ABS using this method. Hope that's helpful! message me if you need any more info.
I want to laminnate a bout 8 of this thickness .. i think You can thickly weld only one side Must keep that 90° Clean ,, Or just f Do a thicker Peice like 2 inch Can you do the same with hdpe
@@allkraftdesign6120 why put a big flow of plastic when you just have to employ glue? your work is not beautifull ! that make a big amount of plastic for nothing ! just glue the frame, then make a little rope of abs... EDIT : PVC, not ABS, sorry for the mistake
The easiest way is to use PVC glue. If you need resistance, you add a bracket. Your method creates an unsightly and annoying bead in the case of an assembly. is that's clear? (sorry I'm French)
Hi, glue wouldn't be substantial enough in this scenario, glueing two pieces of PVC Sheet material together definitely wouldn't hold liquid, thanks for the comments 👍
I’m a chemist thought or was told the pvc pipe solvents for joining was a type of weld, that’s incorrect then? Or too weak here. Not a clue where get poly vinyls chloride sheets or application, though some seem obvious. Assumed could heat HDPE same. Noob.
Hi 👋 solvent cement is definitely a method for joining pvc pipe but is not usually used for pvc sheet, cement would be virtually impossible to use in most sheet fabrication scenario's, heat welding is a strong and water tight method for joining and can also be used on HDPE and various other thermoplastic materials. Thank you for watching and thank you for the comment 👍
Very interesting. You've got a lot of skill there, I know from experience that ain't as easy as it looks. Thanks for posting.

I’m a chemist thought or was told the pvc pipe solvents for joining was a type of weld, that’s incorrect then? Or too weak here. Not a clue where get poly vinyls chloride sheets or application, though some seem obvious. Assumed could heat HDPE same. Noob.
Hi 👋 solvent cement is definitely a method for joining pvc pipe but is not usually used for pvc sheet, cement would be virtually impossible to use in most sheet fabrication scenario's, heat welding is a strong and water tight method for joining and can also be used on HDPE and various other thermoplastic materials. Thank you for watching and thank you for the comment 👍
@@allkraftdesign6120 Thank you, rare responsible response by expert! Impressive! I’m sure he’s not inhaling any heated…Subbed 👍🏻
