    JB Plastic Weld trying to mend the impossible! Today i am trying to fix my broken plastic mic stand. In theory it should be able to be fixed, so lets give JB weld Plastic weld a shot and see if it can save me having to buy a new mic stand!

    I have already tried this with superglue and it lasted a few seconds before the bond gave out.
    SPOILER ALERT
    The JB weld plastic weld actually did a great job and held it even when being overly rough with the delicate plastic and i am honestly quite shocked how well it did.
    I am although tempted to try it again with the regular JB weld to see if that is any stronger and if it harms the plastic like superglues do.

    Great review! I was looking at this product today trying to decide if I should buy it... Came on here looking for reviews and your video popped up. I like that at the end, you gave the microphone/stand a good back and forth movement. Shows that it not only worked, but that it could withstand something more than the breeze of a fan. 👍 I'm buying now !

    Aircraft in World War I often used Twisted-Wire Fasteners. With the kind of difficult repair you're doing here, I'd recommend drilling holes through both pieces, before inserting single strand soft iron wire (e.g. gardening wire) through, then twisting the wire to tighten-up the joint. This kind or repair provides that all-important degree of 'flexibility' as well as strength. Finally, I'd tidy up the wire - trimming and bending over - before covering the whole with a flexible epoxy adhesive, such as the JB WELD that you just used.
    Incidentally, I developed this repair technique when my job was to deliberately crash radio-controlled model aircraft to establish what spare parts the manufacturer needed to make available as well as writing up repair instructions. We found that certain plastic parts (particularly on the landing gear, which is subject to heavy shocks) was better attached with twisted-wire fasteners, rather than screws, as unlike the screws the twisted-wire didn't stress the plastic of the fixing point as well as providing that all-important flexibility.
    Hopefully this is useful information for your repairs armoury. I've often found that applying our forefathers' techniques can improve upon the effectiveness of modern materials.

    This tells me all I needed! I've got a flat plastic piece (a vintage guitar pickguard) with a small corner broken off. I'm going to use a scrap sheet of plastic to bind the two pieces together from the back side and hopefully you won't see the break from the front. I was debating on whether to use 2 part epoxy vs. some type of soldering kit. I think this will hold strong enough and have less chance of damaging my piece in the process. Thanks for doing the review.

    I left comments some time ago about a plastic repair product id used but couldnt remember the name. Its Q Bond. You should be able to get it from JB Tools. It can be used to glue rubber plastic metal it doesnt matter. If its got chunks missing and is metal sprinkle the grey powder in the damage then drip the adhesive and in seconds its cured and you can drill file sand whatever if its plastic sprinkle the black powder. Its graphite and composite material same as mixing the metal. No stirring no measuring. In one vid they take a rubberized semi round belt that looks like one from exercise equipment. Its cut in two. He dobs some adhesive on one end and sticks the two ends together waits 15 seconds and cant pull the belt apart to save his life. Then steps throught the belt and holds it to the floor then pulls up and it wont break. You sould check it out. You can even cast things if you have a mold for it .

    That type of cap is best marked before use so it doesn't go back the wrong way and accidentaly mix components, gluing the cap on. A heated staple made from a paperclip then sculpted into the item with a soldering iron is a better plastic fix I find. Or adding one into the faces being glued by drilling or melting holes for it. UV glue that hardens with light in seconds is great to hold epoxy in place to set. Like a tack weld.

      @rickbear7249 ปีที่แล้ว

      You might consider using Chemical Metal, as you could fill the holes (even enlarging them to give a better bonding surface) then drilling and tapping a new thread for your screws. It's a technique that I've often used.

    This is great for general use. However I have tried quite a few times on a plastic tank on my radiator and has failed. I had a crack on the plastic top, and ended up using a plastic welder to fill in the crack and seal it. My radiator is 249 for a new one so before having to buy one I wanted to see if repairing it would be possible.

  • @PJSOFT
    @PJSOFT 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    My idea is drilling 1mm holes, 1-2 holes on each bonding surface should be enough. then cut needles into short pieces. Insert into these holes, then bend and/or cut them to match the angle/depth of each hole. Then apply strong glue on needle pieces and also bonding surfaces, not necessary to leave excessive beads on both sides.

      Yes, this is a variation of the Twisted-Wire Fasteners used on wooden WWI aircraft (as I've just described in more detail, above). As you know, these techniques were developed by our forefathers in the days before modern high-performance adhesives, and they utilise other aspects of engineering that can still prove useful in today's environment. 👏

    @davewindley5653 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Good review, good product. JBWeld has been an awesome product since the 60s when I was a kid and my father used it for industrial uses and later in projects sent to outer space. The original formula focused on longevity, durability and consistency, something the other competing products are rather careless about. In essence, JBWeld magic comes from high quality two part epoxy that has some type of filler material inside that helps reinforce the epoxy making the bond stronger than the original material. Keys to success are to thoroughly clean the surfaces of all loose material, grease, oil or other contaminants. Secondly you need to abrade all smooth surfaces using a file, knife or other tool. This allows the epoxy to grip far better than it will do with a slick smooth surface. **Finally you need to use MORE product to build a "weld" that is significantly larger than the broken area, NOT LESS as you recommended**. Epoxy by nature is very hard once fully cured, even stronger with the added filler including metal, sawdust, plastic powder, etc depending on the specific JBWeld formula. But you will always benefit by increasing the thickness and size of the area that broke in the first place. As you pointed out, JBWeld can always be trimmed, filed, and sanded to smooth and shape it as needed once it is fully cured. Many people have never used common grade epoxy or had bad experiences with it after realizing that Krazy Glue is very limited in effectiveness. THANKS for your consideration and keep up the good work!

    Hey. Want the truly impossible? Try gluing broken fan blade made out of polyethylene with JB weld epoxy. I did it 2 days ago knowing it would be impossible. Glues just don't bond chemically to polyethylene. The window fan has been spinning now for 24 hours. I can't believe this. I'm pretty sure it will eventually fail, the difference in weight distribution and vibration it causes will probably pull it apart eventually. But I really wonder just how long it will last... If it lasts even a couple of months I will be JB Weld's free spokesman 😂

    If you read the fine print on nearly all cyanoacrylate glues even the ones that say works on most plastics you see that they dont recomend for repairing polypropylene or polyethylene plastics. Most house hold plastics are either PP or PE. There are some with a bonder or primer that work better than others. If you can find a plastic bonding agent plastiweld is one they chemically fuse the plastic together. Now on this fix here. If this doesnt hold weld it. Determine the typ plastic it is. Find the propper welding rod for that plastic and use a plastic welder or soldering iron. Just a suggestion. Ive been welding plastics for several decades. Its like anything else. Takes practice.

      @@mikesunboxing yessir. We do have the jb weld and bonder here in the us. The difference is the thermogenic reaction time. The weld is much quicker in its curing and setting time. And the strength is around 500 psi if i remember correctly. Whereas the jb plastic bonder has a strength of 3770psi sets in 15 mins sandable in 30 mins dries tan. Great for plastic to metal plastic to plastic and carbon fiber composites coated metals thermoset and concrete. Also good for filling gaps oem auto and HD truck approved. Its a urethane adhesive system. If you get the urge to do another video regarding plastic repairs i suggest you check out plastex. And plastex 3000. Its really cool stuff. You can have half a little statue or figurine. Providing you had the two pieces you could make a mold keep half and cast the other half with plastex. Repair dashboard cracks in place. Sprikle the powder drip the catalyst in and watch it tunr to a solid in no time. Its around 16.00 us for a tiny kit 40 to 70 for a 50 gram bottle of powder w 30 ml of catalyst. Can get it in different colors. Its good stuff

Scrubbing the hands and your hands still smell. I put the canister in a sealed bag and the smell even got through that. I washed, showered, out fresh clothes on and went out and still could smell it on my person. My neighbour thought we had been letting the dogs wee in the house. I am not making this up!

      @@mikesunboxing yep I'm not exaggerating. I used it about a year ago and it didn't smell too bad. Then I used it this week and the stench is extreme. I think as it's a two part adhesive if one of the components isn't reacted it keeps gassing off. If the canister has been unused for a while one component doesn't come out properly as its partially blocked. It was smelling really bad on the outside of the canister, on the workbench and part of the workpiece I was adhering. As I say my guess is that if the two components aren't fully mixed and reacted to harden off, one of the components keeps smelling as it hasn't been reacted. I've put the canister that was in a sealed bag into a gas tight box as well and that has stopped the smell from the canister. The workbench still stinks and the workpiece as well.
