Plastic sheeting is notoriously hard to join tape is messy and glue won t stick.
Fusing plastic sheets.
Now you can use this stuff to make a million things.
Fusing fusing the sheets lead to seamless and invisible end results with extremely strong and resilient sheets.
Gluing together acrylic sheeting is a completely different process than traditional gluing methods.
Rob shows a clip of plastic laminating where heat fuses plastic to paper.
Peel parchment paper away from finished plastic sheet.
A roller cutting blade is the fastest tool to cut seams handles and labels off of the bags.
Fusing plastic bags the eclipse way step 1.
Cut the plastic bags.
Apart from the great bond strength you can have excellent optical clarity with low capital investment by the method of fusing.
You will need 2 6 layers of plastic to make the fused fabric.
In fact gluing acrylic sheeting together is considered joining rather than gluing.
Use the cutting board and roller off the parts you do not want.
This is because in order to properly connect acrylic sheeting the adhesive solvent needs to be placed along the joints to ensure a durable finish.
Welding guns for plastics contain an electrically or gas heated chamber through which a gas usually dry air or nitrogen is passed.
These can be made in arbitrary 2d shapes by using a soldering iron to.
To fuse polycarbonates all you need are your sheets and methylene chloride.
If you want to experiment with pneumatic devices you ll likely find yourself in need of custom inflatable bladders eventually.
There s no shortage of those in the world unfortunately.
4 hot gas welding.

Things you ll need 2 polycarbonate sheets methylene chloride or chloroform.
It should be fairly smooth and one sheet to the touch watch out its a little hot.
Peel a corner of the paper back to see if the plastic is fused together.
If the layers are not all melted together iron it some more.
