Thanks JA, that's an interesting video and some of the responses to comments are good. I was playig with a cigarette lighter on thin material, I kept melting it. I didn't know the polishing was done at such a high temperature though I understand the speed.



The best bonding back in the early 90s when I was playing with the stuff was chloroform (recommended by my supplier who was a plastics engineer and he'd bend and cut what I needed for cabinets I was doing). I could purchase pure chloroform from a young lady who owned a local chemist shop in Kogorah when I lived down there. At the time it was the only thing which gave a clear, seamless glue line. Now I believe there are a lot of options for gluing. I used syringes with needles for the joints.



Ah, they're using a fine flame, my big torch is more suitable to plumbing work and doesn't do fine, controlled flame very well. I had a full new oxy set I loaned a friend and never saw again. I couldn't afford the cylinders anyway.


Reading the technical data sheet for Weld-On 4 it sounds exactly like chloroform, especially the dizziness and how it welds.
