Skip this question, please.

My previous effort to flange the plastic used heat and put the plastic flush with the flange tool.  This resulted in a too thin or comprised flange.

I just re-flanged with a 1/8” or more sticking above the flange tool, and did it cold.  Seems like it has more integrity.  Will check under pressure tomorrow.

So goes the learning experience!
