Great video. I suggest doing this in a well ventilated area and avoid breathing in the fumes from the melting plastic.
Excellent video! Might also be a good idea to use stainless steel wool in case any fibers are not completely encapsulated in the plastic and rust won't work it's way into the patch. The included mesh in the kit is stainless. I bought one of welders in solution #4 for several repairs and didn't get a chance to use it yet. I'm bummed that it's past the return time limit, but at least I didn't waste my time with repairs that would fail. Thanks for the info.
Plastic welding gun is the best of all them I use this on car bumper covers
My trash toter has a crack in the lid, and my recycling bin lid has an ear broken off, I tried using JB weld but it didn’t hold. I’m curious to see if this method is strong enough to withstand the force applied when the trash toter is picked up and then slammed down. Thanks
I was looking for the best glue to use.
Beware Toxic fumes from melting plastic
What we did back in the day. We use Supper glue and baking powder All so we used zip ties and a hot spoon.
What type of plastic is this? There are at least half a dozen major types, which use different recycle codes. 1=PET, 2=HDPE, 3=PVC, 4=LDPE, 5=PP, 6=PS, 7=Other (Bisphenol A, Polycarbonate, others)
Cool video and tests. When I have need I'll keep this in mind.
Tip on using the staples – while it's still hot, after you've pushed down to depth… give it a slight twist (like you're turning a bolt) then release the trigger. This kind of buries it under the virgin plastic. I do that when repairing bumper covers.
And always use flush cutters to snip the ends off, then a tiny hit with a grinder to make the cut tips be under the surface before finishing.
Thank you for sharing.
I’d like to see you try those “plastic fixes” with anything other than 1/4 inch plastic. It won’t work in 1/16 inch or 1/8 inch plastic, as in plastic garbage bins.
I needed this! Thank you.
This is valuable info and I appreciate your sharing your different results.
EVERY TIME!!!! SUCH RELEVANT INFO!!! You NEVER DISAPPOINT!!! Thank you for this info! We ALWAYS have plastic stuff needing repair-this is going to be the husbands Father’s Day gift this year!!! He’ll be SO SURPRISED!!! 👌👌👌👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I would try method number 1 because it looks to be simpler, and it held up well. However, I would definitely use a mask and eye protection because the welding tool emits nasty toxins into the air.
You put those s clips the wrong way. Of course they'll pull apart.
Excellent video Brother
Maybe Boeing could use this to keep their windows on their planes? 😉
