First I wrote an article on thermal forming PVC pipe. Then I wrote one on boring out PVC pipe to make a full slide coupler. As those new discoveries sunk in, I realized the first article had information that would improve the second. In a very obvious move, I used thermal forming to make full slide couplers without the use of any machining. The result is more accurate and faster to make.
