Hot Air Plastic Welder 1600W Plastic Welding Roofing Kit 110V, Vinyl PVC TPO Welding Handheld Plastic Hot Air Heat Gun Welding Torch with Various Nozzles

I have a project coming up requiring me to build several boxes out of 1/4 inch HDPE. I have a standard heat gun used for shrink wrap and other things, and it goes up to about 450 degrees Celsius. That should have been enough to melt HDPE. But it wasn't touching it. So I purchased this with it's several attachments. I was really curious about the 5mm Speedtip and it it could use 3/16 instead of 1/8 inch rods. I had read that you could only use 1/8 inch rods in a 5mm tip. Not true. I put 3/16 inch HDPE in this Speedtip and turned it up to 4 on the heat setting. That's about 350 degrees Celsius. The heat gun goes up to 9. I decided to test it on the bottom of my wheel barrel. As you can see, the bead is slick as glass with a 3/16 rod and the heat gun had no problem at all. I do have a 30 years background in welding metal, but the instructions were very clear and YouTube can help anyone make some excellent plastic welds with this heat gun. Very powerful. The one thing to remember though is to turn off the heat and let the fan run for a few minutes to cool down the heating element before shutting it completely off.

My husband ordered this to finish a roofing job and he said he worked good & as it should. He was happy with the purchase.

La funcionalidad de fundir plásticos es muy buena, lo único malo que resaltaria es que no tiene como regular el aire, lo utilizo para reparaciones plásticas automotriz y me ha funcionado muy bien.

Great item

Used this to repair my cracked HDPE fuel tank on my J10 JEEP truck. With only a little practice it makes beautiful, leak-proof welds. You must use HDPE rod which is readily available.

Good item

Excellent heater for TPO style Roofing and warming my hands too

Thumbs up!
