Where to Purchase TPE?
I have a 30 watt soldering iron. I need mineral oil I guess and replacement TPE
Anyone know where I can purchase additional TPE?
Say a prayer lol. It'll take a miracle for me to fix this.

As for the repair you're talking about be very careful. You definitely want to practice on a test piece. Make sure your soldering iron is variable temperature. You want to use the least amount of heat as possible to get the TPE to flow. Too much heat will burn and caramelize the TPE.

Gainshine wont contact me about 20lbs of their TPE. It seems I'll need to order at least 55lbs for their minimum order. I may do that, if they will actually get back to me.
This is clear pelleted TPE. Unless your capable of melting it, it's useless to you. I'm probably one of the only members here on TDF that actually could use Gainshine TPE because I make BodyColor² and other products with TPE.
Most people want the TPE samples that I and other vendors sell. Not bulk TPE pellets.
