Can I weld polypropylene (CPP) with this gun?

yes, i welded polypropylene and had no issue, but need to be patient with it the heat doesn't melt it right away and you just need to put some pressure to it

Yes you can I welded a pp kayak with great results. I used both clear pp rods I bought online (a handful come with the kit)and the black fiber flex that came with the kit.

Yes, I don't have the full list of plastics on me, but I know I have personally repaired polypropylene.

Yes. Very nice weld job, with excellent powder coat. Great buy for the money.

absolutely...but you may need to weld both sides though and/or use a circular motion and highest current setting. May need to play around with wire feed speed as well. I'd practice on some scraps first...

Spray the gun with oil, then wrap it in kitchen plastic wrap. I used to make holsters, and this works fine.

I have used this welder to repair polypropylene parts on an older 4 wheeler with good results. The manual says it can be used on ABS.Don

It should work for any weldable polyethylene. I used it primarily on a kayak, but I've also used it for various jobs around the house and even repaired a handle on my grill. Search Youtube and you can find several videos about their uses.

Yes it can. If you add a spool gun and Argon gas it will weld aluminum I've been told. I have never tried it tho.

I never tried using it for welding. I mainly use it for spray painting. Works perfect!

This question was sent to me in an email which had the subject "can you answer this question?" I clicked "Yes,[I can answer the question]". But the answer is "Probably NOT a good idea" My comment below gives more details. But if you are not well experienced with using epoxy paint, I would not recommend you use this gun for experimenting.

No. The deformation temperature of polypropylene is under boiling water. Even at deformation point no harmful chemicals are released.

yes this is polymer. the part that connects to the gun is polymer too. that does need to be Dremeled out where the pin goes through. not much just enough for it to seat in all the way. rail is metal. and this stock is way better than the one that comes on it. im very happy with it! Hope this helps

No. I have scoured the net trying to answer this question (it became an obsession, lol) and found this; you can only use this 3M (imagine that) product. 3M Scotch-Weld DP8005. It has some magical composition that allows it to wet very low energy surfaces. So it seems to be available at lowes and Home Depot though costs about 15$ or so. Good luck bonding! Oh btw, thermo contact bonding (heat) seems to also be relavent to this plastic, if you have a heat gun try it on some scrap first, then the big project, or just pay 3M for their technology.

Yes, careful taking out screws, and replacing, that u don't crack the plastic. Don't use screw gun! Also make sure it's back in the same position as the way u take out

Your question is a little difficult to interpret- you're asking if a mix pac gun will work with a scotch weld gun, well, they're both dispenser guns, so no. If your asking if a mix pac gun (DMA50? there's many models) will use the same cartridges as the Scotch-weld, then it appears both are made for the 50ml cartridges. I can't tell you from experience as I've only used the Scotch-Weld gun with DP100 epoxy.

You would have to get a gas adapter and run a shielding gas or it wont hold at all it would be an extremely brittle weld

You can use these pellets in the model gun specified. The only problem is the weight. The PT85 has a somewhat low velocity with a short barrel. The hevier pellet would decrease the advertised velocity of the gun. You would be better off using the standard 7.4 gr pellets. I use these heavier pellets in a Ruger Blackhawk Elite break barrel rifle and they work great, but they are slower than the manufacturer advertises on the box.
