power tools, canoes, beer - what's not on topic? Says the man about to take a drill to his boat...

Post pics! hahaha...

A tip I learned from this website http://www.urethanesupply.com/kcwelder.php
was to sink metal mesh into the area being welded to act like rebar then cover with a layer of plastic welded on top of that. I did that on both side of the bottom weld and its holding really good.

My appologies, I'm not used to quite so many buttons, I must have edited instead of quoting. I'll try to fix that now.

Done(ish) now:

Budwieser is a style of lager, Anheuser-Busch have been making a particularly dull interpretation for more than 100 years...

Sorry if you are not Facebook friendly... it was too large a file for vimeo

I'm lowering the quality of the vid so it will fit on Vimeo. Should be up in about 30 min or so.

Hi Smurf what Plastic Welder do you use and is it hard to learn to weld plastic?

I use the pro model listed above. It was easy after reading the how-to on the website. I know some people use the hot air models but I haven't a clue whats better... this one was easy to use.

Ok, here is the vid. No fancy stuff, just vid... and its not that exciting. You've been warned.

i was pretty easy to see how easy you can get the ends under. much easier than i can in my fly. whats your outfitting set up? just bulkhead or do u have some kind of straps?

that thing looks pretty fun....not quite fun enough to cut a good boat up, but a good way to salvage a cracked hull...

I'm just using the bulkhead, no straps.

Golder- wish you would have gotten the opportunity to jump in the SL'Edge over ALF. Next time!

jeff--yeah me too. next time for sure...is it small enough to count as a carry on, now that you have the hook-up on flying?

Finished with the SL'Edge!

Cut the ends down and welded the tops back on.
