Soldering Welding Iron
Soldering Welding Iron

Cheap plastic welding?
I want to make a custom paintball helmet that looks like master chiefs helm. I decided to use sheets of plastic to make it and was going to plastic weld them together. I don't want to go and buy a plastic welding machine just to make this so I was wondering are there any common tools you can improvise with to weld plastic? Will a plain soldering iron work?
You can't just weld any old plastic. Some plastics are "welded" by solvents, PVC pipe and acrylic (Plexiglas) included. Some plastics are thermo set or chemical set and if heated will not melt but burn - nylon is one of these. To join them you need glues that will work with those specific plastics.
If the plastic you have is "weldable" the most likely tool would be a soldering iron connected to a lamp dimmer like the wax working tools shown here. http://users.ticnet.com/mikefirth/castgobl.htm#WAXTOOLS
