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.

Using localized heat to fuse UHMWPE and others

Depends what you are trying to achieve of course but you can buy UHMWPE tape here with adhesive on it. That makes it easy to stick together!
