I plastic weld all the time with a soldering iron. In my experience, the best results are achieved when you use the same type of plastic as the filler.
I have always had a SNEAKING suspicion that plastic could be easily melted together like this but never really tried or investigated, this is brilliant!
There's a whole theory behind it to make a correct plastic welding, thats why this kind of super fast 'how tos' shouldn't be used as learning material. In the first one for example, they mix different types of plastics and thats a big DON'T.
In most cases it doesn't hold up well. What happens when you melt it is that the oils deep inside the plastic get brought to the surface and begins the dry rot process much quicker
When I worked for IBM's refer department I never used aluminum tape or screens to do repairs on plastic cases. I just used a regular tip hot iron and if I needed any plastic to hold the pieces in place after repair a lot of times your cases because they were molded to create them would have extra pieces I could cut off and used to do the repair. After I was done usually you couldn't tell the problems or damage which there but if I needed to I would lightly sand the area and spray paint it and then use a small paintbrush
You can buy a kit to do this from most autobody/collision repair suppliers, it also comes with different types of plastic rods for different plastics 👍 we were actually having a hard time getting decent strength from the welds bet that mesh method makes it work perfect 👌 Also, SUPER IMPORTANT, those fumes are incredibly toxic, wear a respirator if your going to do this.
Best place to do is outside (if possible ) In the pass repair some motor parts in this way. Old thing, but for a.first time it holded well. Later sold the motor for parts. And yes the Buyer had a complete list of the damage parts so no hidden suprises.
he used a zip tie, nylon (likely PA6), which is good on its own. The original piece looks like having a glossy styrene finish - made in China, likely ABS (or worse HIPS), far worse than the nylon.The self made tip has no temperature control, though. I personally use one of my temperature controlled soldering irons.
Yes, perform repairs near a fan blowing cross-wise over your work area or near a fume-extractor. Don't breath in the plastic vapors as they are toxic and carcinogenic.
Tried the first method (with a zip tie) on a plastic piece that had broken off of one of our refrigerator drawers...and it was a sizable piece that was part of one of the sides that rode along the groove to hold the drawer in place, so it had to be a strong weld. And it worked, thank you!
Very good demonstration. However Two details . One that specific nibs or tips for solder are available and those are better for performing such tasks . Two . specific plastic shold be used and unmatched plastics donot stick and then chip off . These must be kept in mind .

Typically yes that plastic repair with similar material is recommended. I really just like to heat the metal until it melts in. There's strength and quick fix for the metal version... in my opinion.
This is a game-changer! Thank you for sharing this incredible method to repair broken plastic. It's refreshing to see a solution that doesn't involve throwing things away and buying new ones
Excellent methods for me to keep in mind. Great video! Another method if you don’t have access to a soldering iron is to make a composite patch using super glue and baking soda.
I just bought a new lawn mower and noticed a crack on a part of the handle after I assembled and tore up box. Won’t affect anything 2:22 but it’s new and cracked. I did an online chat and they said I can return it. 20 minutes later they text me that for my inconvenience they are giving me a 10% discount. I then looked up how to repair plastic. This is so easy. So now I don’t have go through the hassle of returning, this will fix the problem. Thanks
You can even use pratley steel. Dont know if you get it overseas. Here in south africa we do. Ok pratley make different products. The one i mentioned is like most resins expocies one gets. You mix 2 parts together and apply it. I had a panel that had a crack in it. I used isolation ( electrical ) tape to seal the crack on the side thats visible, so the glue doesnt go through. I left panel to dry in sun for about 2 hours. After that i peeled of the tape and you coulndt see the crack.
A way easier way is to dissolve some ABS plastic in some acetone. Make it as thick or diluted as you need for the repair. Then use it like a glue or epoxy. Can be used for/with MOST plastics as the acetone will either "melt" or soften the other plastic (except for poly based) and when your done it is hard to tell where the repair was made. Have used this method to fabricate whole parts or missing pieces of a larger part. good vid over all.
I have plastic welding tickets for poly fusion pipe joints up to 18” and electric cupler joints. Before my training I never knew about plastic welding.
@@youngmartinsreels5314 Yes. Bakelite was used for it's attractive appearance and electrical insulating qualities for electrical fittings, radio cabinets, bowls, ashtrays and jewelery. It goes brittle and cracks in situations where it ir repeatedly exposed to heat, such as old-fashioned light fittings and distributor caps.
I used a small paintbrush to create the dimples if it was needed. They also sell spray paint cans with computer case repair that has the dimples built in.
💯% Easy fix is to put sime baking soda at the back and use super glue on it, the chemical reaction will make it stronger then the original plastic, I use to repair laptop hinges, cars and alot more using this, you can also can make any plastic shape in case of missing plastic chunk, sand paper it and can also paint it👍👍
Yeah I remember when I was a kid we would do this to fix four-wheeler plastic but we used toothbrushes and a blowtorch and you would just get a toothbrush the same color as the plastic of your 4-wheeler.

Indeed, your suspicion was SNEAKY.

I use to do this as a kid in the 90s with a butter-knife and a stove. Kept many things going longer.

Comfortable recommending a max working temperature for the iron to be set at? Many thanks

Used this method years ago to repair a crack in my kayak.
Never leaked a drop after the repair.

Back in the day, we would have plastic welders come home and do this with their tools. Glad to see the Morden version of it here 👍🏼

Great trick my friend Inventor 101,thanks...now I can fix the plastic of my cell phone😉
Gorilla glue might work, it can work for certain plastics and since it's cold there is no overheating or warping issue.
This is a game-changer! Thank you for sharing this incredible method to repair broken plastic. It's refreshing to see a solution that doesn't involve throwing things away and buying new ones

This was really neat. The next time i break plastic this will come in handy!
Indian today #hitydesign
Oooor there's this new tech, super cool invention called superglue
First
Been doing this for fifty years. I use a flat head screw driver over a flame then weld.
Пластиковый хомут не будет держать, а над вторым так заморачиваться🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦

Your idea was perfectly used and well appreciated. Excellent work
Good idea. When I was young, I used my woodburner similarly. I like this technique more.

I think ill just spend $2 and buy a new top to my..... ? Aquarium filter?...
This saved me 500 dollars on a fuel pump housing.... thanks bro.
Че за бред? Разносоставные пластики не спаиваются вместе, тем более нейлон и полипропилен
The second method with the mesh is by far the strongest , the outside/visibile side I would fill with bondo , prime and coat.

Or you could just epoxy it! Epoxy is stronger than plastic.
He could have just put the strip in the inside and call it a day

Did this welding when I was a child. Back then I didn't have much and repair was definitely needed to keep my stuff usable.
HarborFreight has a basic kit for 17 bucks.
This was a great help to me.
Most plastic britten over time, if it got crack another will come.
This truth, many time fixy much hard but time work good for using.
I've been welding plastic since I was a child, and I'm 58.
So I must have been a child genius!
1:54 If you already melted the plastic together do you really need that reinforcement piece?
Most informative TH-cam video I have watched in a while. Direct, straight to the point, no fluff. You have a new subscriber.
ABSOLUTELY, NO FLUFF, LOL
I'm gonna invent a Tie that says zip on it. Hmmm

Do you have any solutions for cracked or broken bakelite?
Did you mean a broken " brake light" like on a car?
No, they are referring to Polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride, better known as Bakelite.
@@youngmartinsreels5314 Yes. Bakelite was used for it's attractive appearance and electrical insulating qualities for electrical fittings, radio cabinets, bowls, ashtrays and jewelery.

@@shangyien Try the baking soda and superglue method
Btw im 7th comment
Please Show the name of any element of you use every video friends I'm from India love your ideas 😃🙏👌
I used a small paintbrush to create the dimples if it was needed. They also sell spray paint cans with computer case repair that has the dimples built in.
Great job ! But heating the mesh to red hot with a torch , then setting in, would make it go faster, then tune up with copper spoon if needed.
Awesome noice mate 🇦🇺🙌👏🤘✌️
FANTASTIC VIDEO! THANKYOU! YOUR METHOD IS SO HELPFUL FOR MY REPAIRS
woooow good working bro
I wonder what chemicals are given off when you heat plastics? Things like hydrogen cyanide for example…..
That's what you consider "genius?" You live in s sad world bereft of any actual intellectual achievement. I know genius. This isn't it.
The toxicity of melting plastic, you can't forget the smell
What is the foil tape used for ?
I'm thinking, it's to reflect the heat for a better weld.
Or to minimize "oozing" if it gets too hot.
Pretty cool...
Any chance of plastic wielding the other side as well
Just buy ‘plastic weld cement’ commercial model makers have been using it for years😌
nice video!
Ooh, what's that screen from? Another vid suggested regular window screen too
I like this im definitely gonna keep those supplies on deck for car and home
I knocked down laser level accidently
It doesn't has 2 side like this to repair from inside
It's broken outside
How to fix that
💯% Easy fix is to put sime baking soda at the back and use super glue on it, the chemical reaction will make it stronger then the original plastic, I use to repair laptop hinges, cars and alot more using this, you can also can make any plastic shape in case of missing plastic chunk, sand paper it and can also paint it👍👍
What they leave out is the fact your filling the place up with toxic cyanide fumes created by melting the plastic
عالییییی...
Never see that type of tape come off that easy without breaking 🤔
Hi
Wonder if you could use gorilla tape heated with a heat gun to fix plastic cracks
Acrylic is a great way to fix plastic too.
How?
Crazy glue and baking soda fixes it permanently.

Great ideas 💡, great work 👍👍👍
Is anyone gonna tell me or ask me anything....
I just wanna be happy now.
Why is everyone upset
Why was there someone hacking my accounts...
THANK YOU! I soldered for years in the industry business yet this idea never occurred to me! 🤦♂️
is the silver tape a regular tape or what is it called
I used to have a plastic welding machine with different color plastic sticks.
repaired alot plastic parts hot iron or the old solder iron only
plastic canoe 6" split oxy cet and an AXE head 1/2hr l8tr in the river no biggy
I'm pretty sure that plastic fumes and dust are toxic.

You sanded a little too much on the first one
