Plastic Welding

[chris46250r]

Anybody ever have any plastic welding done? If so who did it and where are they at. I have a gas tank from a 400ex that has a section cut out of it for a special little project and all I like finishing is getting the tank welded.

Unless you've already cut the section out, I've heard of people heating the plastic with a torch and molding it with a spoon. Not sure where you could get it welded:confused:

Too big of a section to do that.

Plastic welding is basically melting the two parts back together and adding where needed. You could buy a kit and do it yourself.

Another option is to melt the parts together and use a gas tank epoxy to seal it completely.

I've welded cracks in my fenders and stuff, but nothing that actually needed a seal like a gas tank. I used a modified soldering iron.

ive welded plastic.. kinda, just got the torch or whatever i had on hand, and got it to the melting point and just melted the 2 sides together, but i doubt thatll work on a tank

ur best bet is to do it urself. i doubt there are any companys out there that will do it for u.

Sounds like a job for JB weld... it's just two tubes of compound you mix together like glue and there you go, it's really strong you can sand it afterwards no problems. I used it to seal the top of my oil res on the 400ex where the line off the rad comes in (didn't leak at all).

We just had plastic welded on my Sons quad fenders.. it turned out VERY nicely!
You can pick up a plastic welder for about 50.00 I heard advertise too .
Theres a place here in Idaho if you need the info , I can get it for you.
