Hey guys. I am a newcomer to this forum. I am trying to get fully cured or even B-stage ultra high molecular weight polyethylene to fuse to itself with the use of localized heat. I'm just wondering if there is a resource out there that goes over different thermal profiles used in post-process joining. I read over a few of the threads on plastic welding and other adhesive methods, but I haven't found anything definitive.
 
thanks again for the info, guys. i'll run some tests when i have a chance.
