I show how to use a soldering iron to fuse plastic together.
Fusing plastic sheets together.
Using epoxide glue for this purpose is a relatively simple procedure but fusing the sheets together is a little more interesting and can create a nearly invisible division.
Plastic sheeting is notoriously hard to join tape is messy and glue won t stick.
There are two ways to glue polycarbonate sheets.
It will probably take a bit of trial and error to get the exact speed right as soldering irons may heat up to different temperatures and plastics may be thicker or thinner.
Methylene chloride or chloroform.
If it is not continue ironing.
Rob shows a clip of plastic laminating where heat fuses plastic to paper.
It is pretty simple to set up and only takes a few seconds to fuse the plastic together.
This can be used to seal bags make them to the specific size of the object inside and create an.
If the plastic is sticking to the paper or if the plastic is forming holes your iron is too hot.
These can be made in arbitrary 2d shapes by using a soldering iron to fuse the edges of two plastic sheets together but it s obviously a pretty tedious and finicky process.
The plastic should be one coherent sheet.
Using an epoxide or fusing the sheets together.
