Honwave PVC - welded or glued seams.
Something I can't find on the net is if the PVC tube material on Honwaves has welded or glued seams. Anyone know or have any links?

Hmmm... I guessed if they didn't mention welded as a benefit in their brochure they were probably glued. I wonder how long the Honwaves have been made and if any folks here have old ones with no issues?
