Ruby, Its is just like welding with metal ,the two individual pieces are heated or I should say melted and mixed together at the seam ,and when cooled becomes one piece, plastic is a little difficult, need a steady hand, tiny flame and no burn throughs, because its difficult to fill, did it a few times, and my blood presure was the only thing heating up, try plastic weld in a package
