The screen is actually for reinforcing the place you are repairing. Sorta like rebar in concrete. Makes it stronger than just melting the plastic together.

Oh that makes perfect sense. I like your analogy of the rebar, that really puts it in context.

I just got myself one of those welding kit, thanks for your review and great video. Just one recommendation. Always wear safety glasses and gloves no matter how big or small the project is.Remember safety first.

[@ThingsTomLike]

Solid advice. I'll try to do better going forward. Gotta set a good example.

Came looking for plastic epoxy but this looks interesting.. has potential. Thanks

[@ThingsTomLike]

You're welcome.

[@dingodyno9016]

will this work on acrylic also?

[@ThingsTomLike]

No idea, I have never tried. I would guess but I don't want to steer you in the wrong direction.

[@alexandertudon3675]

Had the tip of mine break off from putting too much pressure

[@ThingsTomLike]

Hmm, I'll have to look out for that.

[@davidhilliard8130]

Could you not get the camera any further away

[@ThingsTomLike]

Typically no. I only have one decent camera holder in my shop. I can pivot from that location but that's about it. What portion of the video would you like to see further away and or closer up?
