With most of the plastic welders (I got mine from Harbor Frieght) you do not insert the rod in the welder, you hold the rod in one hand and the welder in the other. They come together at the point you are trying to fix. You can use the shavings by gripping them in a pair of needle nosed pliers if they are too little to grasp by hand. I hope this helps.

BTW...I would suggest practicing with your welder by trying to fix a hole in one of your speaker cut outs before you try it on your boat. It's not difficult, but takes a little coordination to manipulate both things at once. Just a thought.
