That's really awesome and all but I'll just stick w/ my crack lighter and paperclip trick..... You can probably figure out how it works by the name. LoL
Because the crack is on the outside. I have that case, it's got an outer shell which you see, and on the inside there's plastic that confirms to the saw that it holds. You can't separate them without breaking it.
@@dannyyo7948 News outside of the box however, is not such a good idea. They made that attempt at KIRO-TV in Seattle years ago, and it simply didn't work well. Free-range anchors looked silly, and weren't tasty like chicken.
This is actually very similar to real plastic repair/welding. Just a slightly more simple solution. Body shop that does plastic repairs inset metal wire into plastic bumpers and such.
Used to make vape coils with 316 stainless steel, in roughly 22 gauge it was still super flexible after multiple heating and cooling cycles and this would be in the adjustment stage so talking yellow hot to touch it cool in a second or so. A split ring of that should work pretty well here since it's pretty firm while cold yet still flexible enough to not snap either.
Metal reinforcement is nice but a flexible metal mesh is better, also it needs a literal bead of plastic sometimes to create water proof seals or in my case bumpers

I love how these pop out right out during the presentation xD If you don't have a plastic welder and you don't care about the aesthetics, just stitch it with a wire/zip tie and use flexible glue.
I use metal screen for doing this. It imbeds better, can be used on any contour, allows flexibility and you know it's not going to pop out or come out at all for that matter. ✌️
It’s a temp fix as soon as you push to hard or the plastic stretches around the rings it coming lose you would be better if drilling holes and use zip ties for a longer run and would have a cooler looking finish
There's another way to repair it: make a holes on both sides of the crack with small screwdriver and lighter. Sew the plastic with fat thread made from natural materials and applying super glue. The thread will harden like a plastic and it's fiber will prevent it from breaking. The result looks a bit better, and proved to be sturdy enough.
As a autobody tech I do a lot of plastic welding to repair broken bumpers and this is just not a proper repair. The broken plastic isn't being welded to together to begin with they're just melting the top part and embedding rings which looks terrible and will not hold properly over time because the main body of plastic is still broken and separated
theres literally a plastic welding tool designed to do exactly this. it uses staple like fasteners instead, which will work way better than those circles
The easiest but not the strongest and cleanest way. Been working projects and hobbies involving plastics like ABS, PLA, etc. Those rings will just pop out in no time. You can use smaller diameter wires and use plastic cement that melts the two parts and welds them stronger. I don't also recommend CA glue to repair plastics because they always come off after a period of time. There's a Chinese AB glue I always buy at MR.DIY store. They adhere to plastic very strongly and turns white when dried.
Only works with thermoplastics , ie, one’s that are able to be melted again. Also, it doesn’t look like it’d hold very well. And careful with melting plastics and being around the potentially toxic fumes
You dont need solder just stick the iron in to the crack in different spots allowing to cool. Like spot welding on a car. After enough of them you can start blending it more
Do you weld both sides, or is one side sufficient? I imagine it depends on the thickness and type of plastic being welded. Can Plastic bottles be welded? Can Vinyl sheets be welded? Can those Switchback Welding parts be used to help weld metal to Steel and/or Aluminum? A Viewer asked a similar question below. I, too want to know the brand of the Plastic Welder; the name of the Switchback parts, and Material Options for those parts.
Interesting. Never had an opportunity to use 3d printer/filament yet but definitely move higher on the list the more I learn about it. Thanks for sharing.
the material used not the best. i also use a similar soldering iron but using its sides for heating which is good for large damage but not smaller ones, so the bolt attached to the iron is a good idea.
Or, it can be done the correct way. Even if you don’t have access to a nitrogen welder, there are about a hundred better way of doing this that actually work and don’t look like trash.
One time I had a hole in a basketball so I just took a piece of electrical tape and stuck it to the hole and then took my Sauter and melted the tape to the ball
Great job, looks like shit.
🤣🤣🤣
Lmaooooooo
😆😆😆😆
💀💀💀
🤣🤣🤣😭💀
that will work a but till it breaks again. use a steel wools instead they can last long and gives fiberish strength
How about fiberglass screening?
Yes, and use a direct flame with it!
Yes. The wool will ignite... Or rust entire!y if it gets wet..
Oh well.
That's really awesome and all but I'll just stick w/ my crack lighter and paperclip trick..... You can probably figure out how it works by the name. LoL
I love me a crack lighter.
I used to work with some girls that smoke and I would turn their lighters in the crack lighters and they would get so mad
I’m surprised that you, hunter biden, would need to weld plastic.
@@robotseattrees9386 - 😂
One reason I don't like anything but Bics and Clippers... But I keep a couple of the cheapos for emergencies. LoL
why don't you do it inside of the box?
Because the crack is on the outside. I have that case, it's got an outer shell which you see, and on the inside there's plastic that confirms to the saw that it holds. You can't separate them without breaking it.
Then , he can't put that video in Utube
@@Arunplayoff why in Utube?
He likes to think outside of the box.

The problem is if it takes any pressure the rings are just going to pop right out. It needs to be something that'll give instead of metal.

@@nicholasmorsy633 yes, but the substrate should be melted together. The screening is just reinforcing and it shouldn't be the entire repair.
A 3d printing pen would work wayyy better 😂
I've used 3D printing filament to weld cracked plastic totes back together. Worked pretty good 👍
I do the same occasionally, but depending on the material, sometimes it can be a little fucky and not stick as well
@@TylerMcL3more could be cause the filament cooled down to quickly or it has absorbed humidity

@@justaweeb9086 well they introduced tagging kind of like tiktok. It just turns out that normal people can't do it.

I’ve plastic welded a bunch of stuff for old vehicles and never thought to add metal for support.
Great, now test if it works, and you see it works perf- oh shit nevermind...
I've always used JB weld and zip ties. Stitching stuff up with zip ties can look pretty cool too.
Finally some good content from this channel, i nearly got an heart attack after successfully watching this
No, that's not a good repair. The plastic should be melted and mixed together along the crack. Screen can be used as a reinforcement.
@@ProleDaddy atleast it is still better than rest of video bruh 😂

@@ProleDaddy agreed
I nearly got a heart attack.. Sounds right. 😂
You Always do the INTERNAL side,not external side..
It's double-sided, inner one holds tools and the outer is just for the shape of it

Great idea! I'm gonna do that to my trash can.
This works on relatively broad/flat surfaces, but not heavily curved ones
Next shorts idea : let's weld glass!
Kind of a good idea… alternatively if what you have is made of ABS, you can make abs glue out of scraps and acetone, very strong bond

Think people are missing the point that it will need finishing. This is just to attach the pieces together. Brilliant idea
Probably the most useful idea I've ever seen for fixing something plastic.
They make an actual useful tool that costs less then building that time and material cost wise and you can actually weld
Well done man, everything is smart 👍

This is actually pretty cool and useful. It's nearly like how the pros do it with their specialty tool
Lol right
yeah, but do it on the inside. and just smooth theoutside with the soldering iron and then a bit of sanding
Pretty ingenious with the steel structural support. I weld plastic my entire life and never thought of this.

There are very nice commercially available tools for this
Plastic cement or putty it fillsnthe gap and melts the plastic together.
And that is ingenuity. I'm gonna do this with metal mesh. Doesn't have to be pretty to get the job done.
Best to just drill holes and zip tie it back together.
Good info. Efficient method. Will keep this in mind. Thank you.
I just purchased a plastic welding kit recommended Project Farm, it's the OIMERRY. Good to know there are other options.
Видно как на первом примере они отходят и он так легонько тестирует чтоб оно окончательно но отвалилось ...
Wow, Nice finishing 😁
Great idea!
Smart, Ur creative. I like this especially using the Bolt instead of a tip cheers...
You dont need solder just stick the iron in to the crack in different spots allowing to cool. Like spot welding on a car. After enough of them you can start blending it more
GLUING IT WOULD MAKE IT SMOOTHER

@@user-sl3hg2jz8h отвалиться.
Nope,there are actually plastic welders that use a real heat source and plastic welding rods...They work great on old brittle 4wheeler fenders...
Zip ties are a more commonly avaliable option. And you can get them in a variety of colors
Would have been easier and smarter to make some light duty locking washers with those. They’d work good for like a shelf
What are you using for the rings? Having a hard time thinking if it's metal or solder wire.
Nice to know but what I use is Thing piano wire an a curved Needle and stitch it.
First - use stainless steel mesh. Second - do it from the bottom. You're welcome.
I've fixed many bumpers that way as a collision tech
@@blakereiter7418 I'm sorry to hear that
What if she won't let you do it from the bottom?
@@jwcarlson :) I know what you did here :D
Why didn't you just melt it an smooth it over. Why the rings tho they will pop out
Do you weld both sides, or is one side sufficient? I imagine it depends on the thickness and type of plastic being welded.
Can Plastic bottles be welded? Can Vinyl sheets be welded?

Fast Simple & Effective 💯
Duuud what the hell i just broken my toster and starter branding IT with my welder
a light and multiple quick passes of the blowtorch works better than whatever that is
Good temp repair. My gf constantly fucks her bumper up. I’m not buying a new one 😂😂
Excelente idea 👍🏽
if you use some 3mm ABS 3d printer filament, in a dremel you can weld it properly
Interesting. Never had an opportunity to use 3d printer/filament yet but definitely move higher on the list the more I learn about it.
Thanks for sharing.
That is a pretty good idea I'd go deeper like the second one tho
And here I went and used gorilla super glue, the impact resistant one, tho it did come out a bit white haha
wow, nice! you managed to make it look like complete shit! nice!
Bonus points if you used your homemade battery soldering iron!
Use a black wire tie. It melts and bonds to the plastic.
There’s zero welding occurring here. Melting plastic 101..
A decent tip for once. Not the best but it's progress
Good work
Great idea. Ignore the negative comments
Just in case anyone was curious, this is not how plastic is welded

The funny thing is that he pulled out bmw plastic “the black plastic piece”. And it needs it the most
thinking outside of the box new level
That might work tell you have to put something in it or use it in any type of way.
the material used not the best. i also use a similar soldering iron but using its sides for heating which is good for large damage but not smaller ones, so the bolt attached to the iron is a good idea.
Looks a little crooked but it will work you could have just melted the plastic back together
Duct tape sales after this video was posted 📉
Nice!
Great 👍
Will it work on plastic water container too?, In the first place, the seams not thoroughly mended together ..
The Makita box is HDPE. Cut a v groove and weld with HDPE.
Why not just use the same tool on both sides WITHOUT the rings and just go along the entire crack to melt it all back together?
Excelente lo intentare 🎉
Wow 😮👍
A plastic welding kit, is 20$ on Amazon
Voilà quelque chose d'intelligent, merci.
M gonna try this on our broken washing machine lid
Oh, heat? Nice lol
Nice soundtrack.
Pls make full videos pls pls pls pls

This isn't welding plastic. All you're doing is melting metal rings into it. If you properly weld it, you don't need the metal.
supar awesome buddy big 👍
ever heard of a lighter, and just well melt it together?
Ммми хуета 🤣👍
Это нифига не прочно получилось. Можно и без проволоки запаять, добавить пластика с обратной стороны и всё будет гуд
Я тоже сомневался.
I think i would use some jb weld or epoxy
So you does it look like they are using solder to keep it in place? The stuff bends like it's nothing
Make it 2-sided would be better, Bro.
