Hand held welder, adhesives

Tatnic

Is this adhesive something that you can buy from a supplier? Or is something only the mgfr carries? With all the stuff Sika makes, I have to wonder if they have something that would be close.

you need to learn about roofing before you reinvent the wheel bro.
Sika bought out Sarnafil, one of the better PVC's.

does anybody know about these cheap welders. They are $90 on ebay and it says they get to the same temp and air flow as the $500 ones, does anybody have experience with these?

Is PVC the top material for commercial roofs right now? I see a lot more guys switching over to it. but is it for the cost or the liability versus a torchdown or hot?

You get what you pay for with welders.

PVC has been around for along time. Now its all about the cool roof. Not a whole lot of savings vers a pvc and 3ply mop and gravel, depending on app. Yes insurance companys generally turn their nose up on torch downs, and some time mops downs too. Too bad, hard to beat a BUR.

I have experienced every single welder on the market for I am a hot air welder technician. Definately need to stay away from anything made in china. Trust me it is between the Leister Triac and BAK Rion. Both are made in Switzerland. I would definately go with the Rion that I sell because it is close to $100 dollars cheaper that the Triac. You get the same performance as the Leister and you get a 2-year warranty whereas Leister only comes with 1.
