Be sure to draw out the fumes with an exhaust fan when welding. I've set my iron up with a plug strip with a switch.....when the iron goes on the fan does too.

If I tear a darker colored Senko or Dinger, I use a lighter to melt the plastic back together. It doesn't look as good with the White Senko's I use for bass frequently.

I carry one of these in my tackle bag. I use it for on the fly modifications and mending.
