Learn how to do a plastic weld repair on a polyethylene kayak with Errol from Jack's Plastic Welding

Looks very professional (compared with the mess in many other plastic welding vids). tks for showing. I have a Coastal C1 Skiff of the 80s, skulling rowing boat made of Polyethylen. Got just a longer crack at the bolting position of the seat. I have a heat gun, so I think with such a nosle and some strips it might work out. Are Milkbottles of HDPE O.K. ? And what about a metal mesh to melt into ?

the only good kayak welding videos out in the last ten years are both by you. i remember when you put the first one out. i am happy to find this one today. granted 1.5 years after its posted but still pretty funny.

Any information on the welder or tips you could share? Looking at getting one and that looks perfect.

You know of any places where they are fixing cracks in oddball spots? I have one in my seat that I'm trying to learn how to fix before I take a stab at it.
