Plastic HDPE welding rods
Had to repair a wheelbarrow box that was HDPE. After looking at rods on
"the e" I started to look at what I had laying around the scrap piles. Turned out the "zipoff" lock on plastic bucket lids I had were all HDPE and made nice rods. They can be easily cut down with tin snips and did a fine job on the box. I used a Hexacon 200b iron. One less landfill contribution always helps. -- Mr.E |
