If done carefully, there'd be no need to melt anything. --- End quote --- I don't like to use glue when working with anything clear. But like Dr.Argon mentioned, there are multiple ways of doing it. If you're comfortable with that method, I would say go for it. I'm happy with my results, and next time I might even try a smaller soldering iron tip to see if I can get a smaller seam. --- End quote --- Why don't you try heating a little piece of metal like this one or thinner? http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71TDsG6KhzL.jpg And after that you can use a ruler and one of this to cut the excess of clear film paper The bar should be the same dimension as the hight of the case |

^^^ not worth it, trust me. A 10 dollar soldering iron and a block of wood do the job very, VERY well, especially after a little practice. Not to mention finding a way to evenly heat and then handle a metal bar like that would be a headache :-\ |

It would be more like an iron machine with sometime to grab it that way you can heat in a stove but with that metal stick, that way you'll have more precision and a unified job Don't know if it was clear what i've try to say :P lol What do you think? |

Oh, I got what you meant :) I'll snap some pics of what a block o' wood and cheap-o soldering iron can do. I just can't imagine it being worth the money and time it would take to build something that's more like what you're thinking of unless you're planning on doing hundreds upon hundreds of cases :-\ |
