Thanks for all the tips, i will try again more seriously with the round
nozzle.
The very absurd thing is that i should have learned plastic welding in the
school i was.
for some very stupid, and very unknown to me, reason they cancelled the
plastic course in
my year. There was so much stupid things we were made to waste time with
and they did not
think that is important for electrical engineers (No idea how they got
that impression).
I did learn metal welding there, which is kind of funny as it is just as
likely to be
needed as plastic welding, i do not say the metal welding was one of the
useless things,
but there WERE really useless things... I really regret i didn't learn it
then...
(Wasting school material is always better when learning things, and
instructions are not bad..)
So, i have to figure it out on my own now i think.
Thanks for the hints, i will ask again if problems occur..
