@PhatEyeCandy plastic weld them

@PhatEyeCandy I think you can... I guess it depends on how thick the plastic is.... I don't know... I've never done this before....It doesn't hurt to try! :)
Good luck!

Wonder if this would work well enough if you put a record under it.
-
this is so cool! Do you have to use a shot vaccum? or can you use a regular vaccum? thanks! ^u^

@hhbproductions hi! one tip, you should turn on the vacuum before placing the plastic so the mold will be better

Sooo are bubbles good?
Because I don't like bubbles as much as Sponge Bob.

@popcornmornforncorn The bubbles are unavoidable. It is caused by the plastic being sucked down into the suction holes. It's not part of the mold, so just cut that part off when you're done.
