This page has a bit of repeats, and quite a lot of grammatical errors and broken English.

The Plastic Sealing/Welding Technologies article seems to be a redundant form of this article. As such I propose they are merged. Wizard191 (talk) 14:27, 29 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Needs more info

edit

This article needs list of plastics and their solvents that can weld them.

Dichloromethane or Methyl Chloride can solvent weld polycarbonate.(obtainable in pain stripper) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.154.213.220 (talk) 01:07, 9 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

The article seems to be deficient

edit

A technique that seems to be widely used, namely mirror welding, is not mentioned at all. A review of current techniques is set out here: http://www.plasticweldingschool.org/pdf/TIPS-21A.pdf Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 15:49, 5 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

It's called butt heat fusion, which is a type of hot plate welding, which is already in this article. I'll add a link to butt heat fusion in that section to make it clearer. Wizard191 (talk) 18:07, 5 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Friction welding model kits

edit

When I was young (1970s) I built two plastic model kits (both planes) that used friction welding. The way they worked is you had a tool powered by a lantern battery that held a piece of plastic that spun when you pulled the trigger. It was the friction of this piece of plastic against slightly harder plastic of the model that made the welds.--BruceGrubb (talk) 17:02, 7 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposed merge with Hot Gas Welding

edit

Hot Gas Welding section already exists in Plastic welding. Does this need a standalone article? Polyamorph (talk) 18:16, 22 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Weak oppose on the grounds that summary/main, parent/child format seems to work here. I've added a 'main' template on the relevant section of the plastic welding page. Klbrain (talk) 05:15, 21 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
