Fyi. At about 3 min in youll see him pick up the printer part showing the damage to be repaired. Look closely and youll see icons and letters molded into the plastic part from the factory. That info can be extremely helpful in most repairs. It will be the recycle codes manufacturing dates etc. It will tell you the type plastic the part is made of. Youll generally see letters like PP, PE,PVC,ABS,PC etc. Those are initials for the plastic type used. As a rule most household products are made from polypropylene PP or polyethylene PE. Both are difficult to repair with super glues. Even the ones that state works with most plastics. Read the fine print on those glues and youll prob find Not Recommended for PP or PE plastics. JB weld super glue light reacted glue works well as does Loctite rapid fuse. Youll find most adhesives wont work without an activater or primer ,catalyst.
@@DIYwithWayne it looks like youve had plenty of practice dealing with repairs of this nature. Anyone who does this much will either struggle or learn what chemicals react positively or negatively to which plastics. And what bonds glues and holds with each type. Ive been welding repairs for over 30 years. I generally try to bond plastics rather than glue. Sometimes chemicals do it sometime heat works better. Good video thanks
@@mq4oneseventyeight567 depending on the material the epoxy putties are amazing. Oatey stick fix is good as well as jb weld. If its fiberglass or plastic with moisture or liquids the marine putty is good. If you are any good at welding it thats an option. There is flex tape and other roofing tapes that will litterally stick to any surface wet or dry and it takes an act of god to remove it. About 1.00 per foot at home depot.
Thank you so much for making this video, Wayne. Usually, I just read the directions on the product, try to follow them, and hope for no surprises. I don't need surprises when using a product like this. I was surprised at how thin this bonder is before it starts to harden. I was expecting epoxy type material, but this product is almost like water for a few minutes. You show this, so I was prepared before using it.
Thank you, this was very helpful as I hadn't worked with this type of product before. In my case I wasn't repairing a fracture but strengthening the attachment of two 3D printed PLA plastic parts and it worked a treat.
Thanks for posting this. First time using Plastic Weld and this helped me a lot with a hobby project. As it happens, we have a Riso ComColor X1 where I work. Different model but we don't have the document scanner on top so it looks very similar to yours. And it's funny you are using JB Weld to repair yours. The end of the X1 output tray is broken off. It works fine. But maybe the boss will let me try to fix it. We don't use our Riso much at all any more. We got a Canon i300 and that thing is incredible. And huge. But the Riso X1 can print on envelopes and THAT is unique and useful.
Glad it helped. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a positive comment. We hope our videos help people do things for themselves and help them save money. You let us know that we reached our goal. Thanks again and have a great day!
thank you DIYwithWayne! I spoke with a rep at JB weld and told me to use the JB Plastic Bonder NOT the Epoxy puddy, which is malleable, ...the BONDER is not easy sanded. I do need to have the area flush.
This stuff is amazing, I fixed my fuel door lid which snapped off at a very bad point. Lo and behold Jb plastic weld let me attach the piece back and it’s literally good as new and even though it broke in two at a bad spot it still held ! Amazing stuff !!
Thank you my good sir. I like watching video, instead of reading the back for instructions. Gave me great advice like put down someshit so it dont get stuck etc.

Really nice tutorial. You might want to keep one or two of those tie down straps around to strap together longer pieces. They work great for keeping everything in place.
I recommend to use one of JB Weld's static mixers. What you do is you have the syringe pointed up, then you squirt some out on a paper towel so that both parts are coming out. Wipe it off. Then screw on the JB Weld static mixer tip. With it still pointing up, you depress the plunger on the syringe to push the mixture through the static mixture pushing the air out too which is why you hold it up. Then when the mixture gets to the tip, you squirt some out on a paper towel to make sure it's mixed correctly. This is foolproof. Really wish Permatex had static mixers too.
Hello Colt, I have not tried those mixing tips. I did use one that came with some epoxy. I will plan on picking some up the next time I'm at a place that sells them. Thank you for your suggestion and for visiting our channel. We hope you have a great day.
I like to use Bondo Body Filler on any kind of plastics & Wood , Only time I ever tried it with metal was on automotive , It really works as a good glue.
Great video, now I know how to use JB Weld plastic weld. But I’m going to use the black in weld. It will match my auto part , so you want even see the repair crack.
Wayne, thanks for this video! I have a tube of this product, waiting to repair a black ABS fender. But I'm trying to decide if this would be a better choice, or if I should stick with regular old ABS cement. Do you have any thoughts or advice? In particular I'm interested in whatever's going to have more flex/tensile strength
I can't say which would be the best. I would suggest doing a test on something similar with both products. You may also want to look into a plastic welder. Some are very inexpensive. This is a video I did on a plastic welder. th-cam.com/video/gH_Pxm3Of3k/w-d-xo.html Good luck with your project and have a great day.
Thanks for the video. I just ordered some of the apoxy shown and needed instructions quick lol. I'm repairing a plastic chair with a cracked down the middle of the seat. I hope it works because I can't figure out how to clamp such a large space. I'm just gonna cross my fingers.
I have a ceramic bobblehead which a piece has broken off and I would like to glue it back on. Is this something you would recommend for repairing a ceramic bobblehead? It looks rather thick and I'm afraid it will squeeze out from underneath the broken part being glued on. Is there a lot needed in order for this to work? What would be the best method to use gluing the part back on so it is perfectly lined up when gluing back on?
I don't think this would be the best choice. I would use epoxy like this. th-cam.com/video/Sy5OloVaNIE/w-d-xo.html Good luck with your project and have a great day.
Hi Wayne. I’m in a desperate need to glue an $$$ sewing machine part. I’m going to try this product and follow your directions. Great video. I wish there was a way to show you the problem.
It does get hard but maybe not as hard as regular JB Weld. I have only used it on hard plastics but it works very well on them. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
Can I use that glue on a cracked laptop battery?, I has arrived a little cracked because of the shipment, it was a very long journey and I would like to know if that glue is heating resistant?
It works better if you rough up the edge with sandpaper or a file... it gives more physical surface area for it to bond to, rather than a smooth surface. I always overlap the crack with some metal or other piece of plastic... you can push a screen mesh into the jb weld and then its super strong.
Hello calholli, I have used some of your suggestions in the past but in this repair it was not needed. Thank you for your suggestion and for visiting our channel. We hope you have a great day.
does it work with rubber, plastic and metal? im trying to see if it will hold my charge pipe iat's sensor that i put with a rubber vacuum line o ring on the charge pipe all together
Hi Wayne I Have A Question Will This Glue Work For Plastic Containers, Soda And/Or Water Bottle Plastic Material If Possible Could You Let Know Thanks!!! Great Video
Just out of curiosity are the any fluids that could break the epoxy down such as gasoline, diesel, acetone etc. ? What if you wanted to repair a gas tank would it slowly eat away the epoxy?
I don't have a good answer for you. It would depend on what the tank as made of. I would suggest you contact JB Weld. I have never called them but I have been told they have a good customer support team. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
Do you think that JB Weld will hold up on a vehicle dashboard, I have a crack that runs about 8 inches on the dashboard. I live in SE Texas so the summers are brutal with a lot of humidity.
Wayne McBryde the JB Weld worked great on the dashboard. It filled in the crack and holds the dashboard in place where the crack was. Thanks for your videos!!
@@DIYwithWayne my first repair project using epoxy just finished drying, and I can’t believe how well it worked! I had no idea how to use this product, but I followed everything you said and it went perfectly. I’m very glad you stressed using more than you think you’d need because I decided to mix twice as much as I thought it’d require and ended up just barely having enough! I subscribed to your channel and plan on referring back to your previous videos next time I need help with a new DIY skill
When it fully cures, does it shrink and level itself out somewhat or does it end up looking blobby and messy? Was that old crack on the piece from years ago also fixed with the JB Weld Plastic Bonder?
I would think so but I have never tried it. You can call J-B Weld and ask them. I never have, but I have known of people that did and got the answer they needed. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
I did not avoid it. In this case the plastic part is secured to the metal shaft so it does not mater. If the metal shaft need to rotate inside the plastic, I would have removed the plastic part from the shaft then repaired the plastic part and then reinstalled it on the shaft. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
I repaired a glove box on an Acura with this product but it failed. I repaired it again using JB weld 5 minute epoxy, the more common one we see all the time and it stayed fixed.
The handle on my built in microwave broke off, first bottom them top. Looking into space, plastic parts are small and surrounded by air space. What are chances plastic parts will stay bonded with handle being pulled on daily?
I have not tried it on something like that. You may want to call the manufacturer of the glue. Maybe they would have a suggestion. Thank you for visiting and please consider liking and subscribing to our channel. Subscribing makes it easier to find our other helpful videos.
Yes. It's been almost 2 years and still working. This printer is old and not used as much as it was in the past but we do still use it and the part has not given any more trouble. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
Accidentally just crashed my $300 holy stone HS720 drone, I'm praying this will do the trick, none of the electrical wiring is damaged only the plastic snapped off I'm praying this will work, thank you
@@DIYwithWayne good afternoon. I applied the JB weld , the grey and black . I applied on the surge tank on my semi. It was still leaking after 30 miles. Pulled into a Walmart and bought me the JB weld plastic adhesive bond. Applied one coat/ about 1/8 of inch thick, then after setting I put a layer of electrical tape, and then applied another layer of bond... Well after 60 miles it was leaking but not as bad, top off surge tank and drove another 150 miles and Levrl look good. Drove a total of 1100 miles and had to only put back about a quarter gallon in the surge tank. Just want to share my experience and thank you for your videos. 🙏🏻

I have a rental house that had the same problem a few years ago. I replaced the tube with a better fiberglass one. It made a good replacement but to get this done would have been a very expensive repair. I suspect your tub is plastic and if so I would give this product a try. Make sure you go beyond on cleaning the area to give the plastic bonder the best chance to make a good repair. I don't know if it will hold but other than replacing the tub, I don't have a better idea. Good luck with your project and have a great day.
Wayne could you help? My gaming computer chair footrest broke and nobody wants to fix it the damge isn't Terrible but it's enough to ruin the food rest and make it unusable
Sorry to hear about your chair and without more details I can't suggest how to repair it. However I would suggest looking for a used one to use for parts. Look around at yard sales, Goodwill Stores and places like that. If you can find something with the part you need, it should make a good repair. Good luck with your project and have a great day.
I got mine at Lowe's and they only had the tan. It has been working well so far and is out of sight so the color does not matter in this place. Thank you for visiting and if you have not, Please subscribe.
If the self is plastic, there is a good chance it will fix it. I would suggest you not put the shelf back on the refrigerator for at lease 24 hours to let the epoxy cure. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
Sorry but I don't know. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer. I have had viewers that have gotten very timely answers for their questions. Thank you for visiting and good luck with your project.
There are different cure times depending on the exact product you got. Check the cure time on the package and it the humidity is high allow some extra time. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
Hopefully it will harden in time. I don't know why but it could be you did not get equal parts when mixing. Let us know if it does harden in a day of two more. Your reply could be helpful to others. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
It would depend on what you are using it on. Supper Glue works better on smooth surface's and Epoxy works better on porous surfaces. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
I can't believe they still make this dispenser with that stupid cap. I think they purposely designed it for cross contaminating the adhesive and hardener. The tubes with the screw caps are as good as it gets. I love the Devcon plastic welder, but the smell is overpowering until cured. I'm assuming this product is the same?
I have not tried that before. I think it would be GREAT if you tried it and let me know how it worked for you. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
When I purchased the JB Weld, the only color available was the one i got. However the part is very hidden in the machine and unless it is removed, no one is going to see it. Thank you for the comment and if you have not, please subscribe to our channel. Have a great day.
You are correct. LOL I did get a bit carried away with the glue. But I was not sure how much I was going to need and so I mixed up way too much. Thank you for visiting and I hope you have a great day.

I have not tried it on something like that. You may want to call the manufacturer of the glue. Maybe they would have a suggestion. Thank you for visiting and please consider liking and subscribing to our channel. Subscribing makes it easier to find our other helpful videos.
My experience is that it takes much longer to set and cure. Best to leave overnight.
Hi MrRako0002, I agree with you completely. Thank you for your comment. Hope you have a great day.
I was wondering, Is it still holding after a year?
Yes. It's been almost 2 years and still working. This printer is old and not used as much as it was in the past but we do still use it and the part has not given any more trouble. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
Accidentally just crashed my $300 holy stone HS720 drone, I'm praying this will do the trick, none of the electrical wiring is damaged only the plastic snapped off I'm praying this will work, thank you
Jesse, wishing you luck with your drone! Let me know how it works for you. Thanks for visiting and have a great day.
Thank you sir, have a wonderful day as well. Greetings from Rhode Island
Hi is the jb welder plastic bonder in black the same
I think so. If the ratings on the package are the same, it should be the same. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
@@DIYwithWayne thank you
Will this bond a plastic wheelbarrow crack?
Does this work for a plastic radiator coolant
I don't know for sure but I would be willing to try it. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
@@DIYwithWayne good afternoon. I applied the JB weld , the grey and black . I applied on the surge tank on my semi. It was still leaking after 30 miles. Pulled into a Walmart and bought me the JB weld plastic adhesive bond. Applied one coat/ about 1/8 of inch thick, then after setting I put a layer of electrical tape, and then applied another layer of bond...
Well after 60 miles it was leaking but not as bad, top off surge tank and drove another 150 miles and Levrl look good. Drove a total of 1100 miles and had to only put back about a quarter gallon in the surge tank.
Just want to share my experience and thank you for your videos. 🙏🏻
@@Jesse-pl6hy Thank you for the update. Good luck on your repair and have a great day.
Will this work with plastic mesh on a poly bumper???? Anyone lmk thanks
I would think so but I have never tried it. You can call J-B Weld and ask them. I never have but I have known of people that did and got the answer they needed. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
This works on propolene?
I have not tried it on Propylene but if you do, let us know how well it worked for you. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
Could this be used to fix a small crack in a bathtub floor
I have a rental house that had the same problem a few years ago. I replaced the tube with a better fiberglass one. It made a good replacement but to get this done would have been a very expensive repair. I suspect your tub is plastic and if so I would give this product a try. Make sure you go beyond on cleaning the area to give the plastic bonder the best chance to make a good repair. I don't know if it will hold but other than replacing the tub, I don't have a better idea. Good luck with your project and have a great day.
Wayne could you help? My gaming computer chair footrest broke and nobody wants to fix it the damge isn't Terrible but it's enough to ruin the food rest and make it unusable
Sorry to hear about your chair and without more details I can't suggest how to repair it. However I would suggest looking for a used one to use for parts. Look around at yard sales, Goodwill Stores and places like that. If you can find something with the part you need, it should make a good repair. Good luck with your project and have a great day.
@@DIYwithWayne Thank you
They have it in black which is better for this use case.
I got mine at Lowe's and they only had the tan. It has been working well so far and is out of sight so the color does not matter in this place. Thank you for visiting and if you have not, Please subscribe.
Will this work on a cracked fridge shelf???
If the self is plastic, there is a good chance it will fix it. I would suggest you not put the shelf back on the refrigerator for at lease 24 hours to let the epoxy cure. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
@@DIYwithWayne Thank you for your help. I look forward to seeing more videos.
Let us know if this worked for you. The information could help someone else. Thanks.
@@DIYwithWayne 👍🏽will do. I just ordered some today, I’ll let you know soon.
Good video. I wish he would have stated the type of plastic the part was made of.
Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
@@DIYwithWayne you do the same sir.
👍
Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
Is this stuff fuel resistant??
Sorry but I don't know. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer. I have had viewers that have gotten very timely answers for their questions. Thank you for visiting and good luck with your project.
great video men. right on time for me. quick question how long have to wait to put the part back in car ??
There are different cure times depending on the exact product you got. Check the cure time on the package and it the humidity is high allow some extra time. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
What temp is it good for?
I was not able to find the answer but you can email J-B Weld and ask them: esupport@jbweld.com Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
@@DIYwithWayne Thanks!
I've tried this plastic bonder and it's been over 24hs, the glue is still rubbery and not sandable. Any idea of what it could be?
Hopefully it will harden in time. I don't know why but it could be you did not get equal parts when mixing. Let us know if it does harden in a day of two more. Your reply could be helpful to others. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
Sadly it did not work well for me ... It didn't cure hard ... I mixed it very well too 🤷♂️
When I have had this problem, the humidity was really high. Humidity can affect how well and how quickly it dries.
How can I buy it from India
I wish I could help but I live in the USA and have no idea. Sorry Good luck with your project and have a great day.
Do you think this is stronger than super glue ? Thank you Sir ^^
It would depend on what you are using it on. Supper Glue works better on smooth surface's and Epoxy works better on porous surfaces. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
@@DIYwithWayne thank you very much brother, have a great day and stay warm
Just say no to crack!!!
your accent is hilarious. Thx for instructions
@@DIYwithWayne from Texas?
I see nothing wrong with his accent. Smh
No, from beautiful North Carolina!
Yea haaa😂
Can this fix my broken heart? I just want this pain to go away.
Only if it is made of plastic.
My grandfather taught me a saying as a child, it has gotten me through a lot.
„This too shall pass.” It always does, just be patient.
I thought love was world stronger bond
LOL. There are somethings even love can't hold together. That's why there is JB Weld. Have a great day!
I can't believe they still make this dispenser with that stupid cap. I think they purposely designed it for cross contaminating the adhesive and hardener. The tubes with the screw caps are as good as it gets.
I love the Devcon plastic welder, but the smell is overpowering until cured.
I'm assuming this product is the same?
I did not find the smell offensive or strong. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
A little more? But not 4x
I did get a bit carried away with the epoxy. But the machine was fixed. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
You should always put the leftover epoxy back in the tube, and save it for next time 😁
I have not tried that before. I think it would be GREAT if you tried it and let me know how it worked for you. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
He should of used the black wb weld plastic bonder
When I purchased the JB Weld, the only color available was the one i got. However the part is very hidden in the machine and unless it is removed, no one is going to see it. Thank you for the comment and if you have not, please subscribe to our channel. Have a great day.
I wish it came in clear. I need to fix a broken clear plastic cover.
@@DIYwithWayne Has the part that broke been holding?
Good informative video
Cheers
@@SDsailor7 Yes, It is still in the machine and working like new.
a generous amount wasnt an exaggeration
You are correct. LOL I did get a bit carried away with the glue. But I was not sure how much I was going to need and so I mixed up way too much. Thank you for visiting and I hope you have a great day.
These guys should really be doing this with gloves.
Gloves would be a good idea but I'm old and hard headed. I hate working with gloves but I would recommend them for this type of repair. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
Permatex black plastic welder epoxy is stronger.
I have not tried the Permatex epoxy but the J-B Weld has always worked for me. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
For car dors handle not to strong
It is very good stuff but it won't fix everything. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
OMFG I JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW TO GET THE %#@!$#@# TOP BACK ONNNN! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😂🤣😂🤣
Hello Kim, there are little flanges that the top slides under, then you give it a twist. Hope this helps! Good luck!
Sticks metal, I'm told
It will work on metal but JB Weld has better products for metal. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
