No worries! I’m in Australia and Australian standards wont let us do externals like that anymore sometimes get away with it we have to install Butterfly to all externals!! Or they will defect it ): installing a butterfly to nib wall and welding could be a good vid to do or Marmo welding a lot of ppl struggle with that 👍

@Tiggz Ok .that means you either don't use cove former at all or you may use mini cove former .with big cove you wouldn't get a good B Fly corner .. But here in UK we never get asked to do it ...I know how its done ..I shall do some video on that . Thanks

Excellent perfect five star job ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

[@johnnycrinkle]

Very clean job pal, a lot of people that watch your demonstration won't grasp how difficult that external is to weld. Just one question, may sound daft but does the weld rod have an expiry, does it go dry or harder to work with if it's been in stock for a long time (I'm talking a few years).. thanks and great demonstration 👍

@johnnycrinkle Thanks for your nice comment 👍. We at bespoke Flooring always try our best to do a good job 👏. I have over 50 rolls of old weld rod I have had them for over 10 years It still welds fine 🙂 Some of them won't melt as smooth & as strong as the new one, I must admit. But it still works with lower heat numbers and slower speed . Hope this helps 🙏

Hi bro ,what number do you have your welder on ,seems like you had plenty time for the externals .....I've not done much externals ,an6 time I have I've burnt it ever so slightly 😅 🙃 ....8 normally have it set on 4 for the flat welds & don't change the temp when going up the cove ,do you think this is why ?👍

[@bespokeflooringsolutionsltd]

Hi. Thanks for watching our channel ..I always do my enternal &external first. While cooling I put the number up and do the long straight one. The welding number really depends on the materials and vinyl .. I normally go for 4 to 4.5 for corners and 5.5 to 6 for straight one. But I have been welding for over 15 years now..long long time .

Try 4-5 for mitres, if it burns turn the temperature down a little. You will find a setting that will melt the pvc but not burn it, that’s the ideal temperature, all guns are a little different. It also helps if you bend the tip of the speedwell up a little, this will help a lot with mitres, especially external ones. Let the weld rod go cold before trimming, this also helps, trim the vertical part of the weld with a sharp Stanley knife, then shape it up with the square Xacto blade, again this will help.

@@davidgatfield6854 spot on mate ,appreciate the help .....had a good few jobs since my comment as I've recently went self employed .......always appreciate other fitters info tho as every days a school day lol 👍🏻

What number do you have you heat on for internal external welds

[@bespokeflooringsolutionsltd]

@@daniellinnell346 depends on the vinyl .normally 4. And 4.and half

[@bigbothoee8617]

Nice you make it look so simple

[@matthewmclaughlin7472]

Beautiful stuff.

[@amirshahzad7020]

What is best temp for this? Bcz when I do like this so slowly plastic burn quickly if I decrease temperature then cutting time joint come outside no welding

[@DIYBackGarden]

Thanks for watching our channel and please share and subscribe. Put it on number 4. Or 4.5. But you must take it nice and slow 🐌. Always practice on bit of nonusble vinyl then on the project. Good luck . kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJOphpehbcena6c Watch my diy channel. Great videos there for learning 👌

You don’t groove the corners before welding?

[@bespokeflooringsolutionsltd]

We groove all the joints .not the external corner

[@CRASS2047]

@@bespokeflooringsolutionsltd I’m asking about the external corners. So you can weld those without grooving them? Does it have to be cut with a gap I guess?

[@bespokeflooringsolutionsltd]

@CRASS2047 Yes 2mm gap is sufficient for a good welding. But try to be so slow with it . You can groove the internal one

[@arranbrown5709]

Should try wrapping them around butterfly Style 👍

[@bespokeflooringsolutionsltd]

The client would like that way. I havnt done that. But i do like butterfly style to be honest. I have done it this way for 17 years so im so used to it. Thanks for commenting kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJOphpehbcena6c Watch my diy channel. Subscribe There is some good videos
