Ever been curious about what’s in your plastic? The fellas at NYCResistor (a DIY group, not an underground insurgency) have a handy video to show us if you’ve got some PVC on your hands. Their version uses a small blowtorch and some bare copper wire. This is infinitely safer than some other methods I’ve heard about.
