Welding slabby panels

[Rene EFE]

Hmm, good call. Had a go on the first (and worst) panel yesterday and it turned out ok, I'll probably leave it as is until it cracks again

Practice makes perfect

I'm bedridden at the moment with injuries (again) but once I'm better I'll post a how-to on Plasti welding for my OSS brethren.

Over the years I have learned so much from my fellow OSS inmates (since 08) it would be great to give something back.

I intend for my Plasti post to be for OSS eyes only so I will post it in my up coming "Track Slabby" build. I'll put it on the first page.

I agree with all you guys, all have good methods!  M.e.k ??? please for fuc# sake wear a  vapour mask and proper heavy duty gloves, I have used M.E.K for 25 years and it's now banded in my industry . Please if you use it protect your lungs at least , cumulative in your body, it does not reduce or leave! 

Raf boys used it to wash warheads and everything else, not many of those guys left now... Not being a drama queen here but we are here for a good time ,not a long time.

Hang on, if we use MEK and breathe deeply then we might *have* a good time, just not a long time... I'm confused. ;-)

Just got some Plastex, and got to say that it's brilliant. Easy to use and great results. You don't appear to get much for your money but used less than I was expecting.

I've used a soldering iron and bits of the same plastic,  seems to work OK.
