I've butchered lots of plastic with soldering irons, as well. I'll
tell you, for $30, this tool is MUCH better than a soldering iron! The
technique is very much like acetylene welding, whereas using a
soldering iron is, well, much more like soldering.
With the air welder, you don't actually touch the work with anything,
so the result is much smoother. You can also heat up a larger area,
making a stronger bond. Try it, you'll like it!
It comes with "welding rods" of different colors that are compatible
with the three materials it can handle.
