3. Obtain a 1/8 inch diameter PVC welding rod and cut its end at a 600 angle.
4. Hold the welder in one hand and the welding rod in the other hand. Direct the end of the round tip to a
point at least 1/2 inch away from the point where the weld should be started. Immediately begin a fanning
motion. The hot-air stream should heat the area to be welded.
5. Move the welding rod up and down to touch the surface of the preheated base material until it becomes
tacky. Hold welding rod vertically and apply pressure. Continue to supply heat by fanning motion so that
about 60% of the heat is directed toward the base material and 40% to the mating surface of the welding
rod.
