I am pretty sure some of the forum members will be well familiar with this however I was unable to find much feedback/detail in existing posts (probably a user error)...

Has anyone made use of this for repair and maintenance of their outdoor buildings and structures:

Looks pretty good for stitching together some of my older rooftops and platforms that have seen a few summers?

Have used the process for a few odd building repairs including the odd fix to plastic on LGB locomotives, however best done in a well ventilated area.

Well arrived today and initial impressions very positive. Solid little appliance with a ton of little "welding blanks". All for 30 AUD delivered.

Seems to have done the job quite nicely in about 5 minutes:
