thanks!

If you are going to use it for pneumatics, the answer is NO. You will severely degrade the operating and burst pressure of the tube.

If you plan on using it for belting material, then yes it will work ... but the degraded strength of the joint may fail (IE when you melt polyurethane tubing it gets weaker but will bond together)
