Susan, I've always adjusted lost motion at the top of the wire not the bottom, but no it's not welded or anything. I can't think that the durability of the plastic is compromised at all. Plastics are heated and cooled for reshaping all the time. I give a lifetime guarantee on the repair. Mine or theirs , whichever comes first. I've not noticed toxic fumes except those couple times when I was preoccupied and got the wire cherry red. By that time if I touched the plastic I've pretty much wasted the elbow anyway. Give it a shot! Greg Newell Susan Kline wrote: > At 11:49 PM 10/19/1999 -0400, you wrote: > >Clyde, > > You've simply got to try this.
