    Welding plastic

    You'd be amazed by the number of things made from the same plastic as Tupperware. Try it first in an inconspicuous spot of course.

    Welding plastic

    Plastic welding rod can be laid up one next to, or on top of, each other to fill gaps. You'll need to let the last one cool down before laying the next one.

    What do you drive for a truck?

    Wow, all you 20 somethings! 94 F250 standard cab, 8' bed. 7.3 IHC IDI turbo diesel Used mostly for when the van won't do. i.e. boat launch, firewood, trips to local compost drop off, anytime the car hauler is needed. Hopefully to move a medium length travel trailer to a seasonal campsite...

    Ford 1600 4x4

    My broken axle (1700) was NA. Had it center drilled, press fitted a pin, welded, turned and faced on a lathe. That was close to 10 years ago. No issues.
