plastic welding-2

I received 2 replies on my question about using a hot glue gun and plastic sticks. The responses showed I did not make myself clear. I was looking for someone who had replaced the glue sticks with plastic sticks. The following is from a site that offers a hot weld kit for about $170. They have many type of plastic sticks. The one below is rectangular and I don't know if it would work in my Sears gun. Note the "Uni-Weld Ribbon Rod sticks" works with "any kind of plastic". The kit is "airless" so it works on the principal of a glue gun. Next question is, "is it the proper temperature"? +++++++++++++++++++++++ Urethane Supply Company 5003R8 1' x 1/8" x 3/8" Cross Section Uni- Weld Ribbon Welding Rod for Model 5 & 6 Plastic Welder (30pk) Uni-Weld Ribbon Rod sticks to any kind of plastic, but works especially well on TPO's. The Uni-Weld is not a true weld, though. It is more like a braze. The rod is similar to hot melt glue and it uses the Part No. 5500HT Airless Plastic Welder to apply it. Simply rough up the surface and melt the rod into the repair area. Cool it off and sand immediately to a fine feather edge. Use with 2045W Stainless Steel Reinforcing Mesh for maximum strength. For use with Urethane Supply Company's Airless Plastic Welder. This package contains 30 ft. of FiberFlex. Each stick is 1 ft. long, approximately 1/8th inch thick by approximately 1/2 inch wide.

I just checked the message file at Yahoo groups. There are no messages past 09Nov07. Do they normally run 2 days late or is there a problem? DC [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
