Did my first plastic welding repair today. Sorry no pics. Being my first time I didn't think it would be picture worthy... but I'm pleased with the results.
I watch some videos and purchased a higher end iron from Amazon > Amazon.com
I saw a video showing a guy melting paperclip into the plastic across the crack - I did that. Followed instruction to V the crack, then melted the clips in, and then fill and smooth.
The subject was a large irrigation box my friend gave me ( retail $97 ) But it was cracked from the bottom up but no yet in half. I now have confidence I can fix the 4k gallon poly tank I bought this thing for.
We have so much plastic in our daily lives. Good to know it can be repaired.
