Cool, I've often used cut up paperclips as 'rebar' to melt in and embed in the plastic.

[@fryreartechnology7611]

That's a good tip. I'll have to remember that

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Haha even though it was like 12$ at the time , I got that cheap harbor freight plastic welder and felt robbed when I opened it and had a soldering iron , some screen and some plastic sticks to melt. I've got that stuff laying around the shop 🤣

[@fryreartechnology7611]

@@MrTheHillfolk I love that kit! It saved me over $5k. I messed up my 2002 BMW Z3 M roadster. The stupid parts for just the brake duct cooling was getting over in the $1k range for used parts. I could almost buy a used one take the parts off cheaper. I ended up buy 3 kits. Learned to build up sand and paint. Can't even tell now.

[@topc5826]

You should check out the hot weld staple gun and assortments of different shape staples for it. They are all stainless steel and there are inside & outside corners, wave shapes and straight shapes. I just got one a couple weeks ago and I'm repairing plastic parts that are so small you would never think you could repair them but with these 0.6 mm and 0.8 mm wire staples and the precision with the hand gun welder it's amazing what you can fix now. No more throwing parts away that are broken because I can't glue them together. Now I weld them with wire staples melted into the plastic and if it's still warm enough you can push the plastic together where the staple went in with a small flat head screwdriver or fill it in with the liquid resin that hardens under ultraviolet light and then sand it down and it's like new.

[@caveone-365]

This guy is on the money. Done a ton of plastic welding over the years, especially my time in the body shop. We always used stainless mesh to backup the repair area with a decent overlap on the back of the repair. I use 'like types' of plastic when doing the repair. If you don't have the actual filler rods, cutting or melting strips of some scrap plastic is the best and cheapest method to get your filler. There are specific tips that are flat for the soldering gun that are designed for this. Then there is air plastic welding. Same principal, different tool. Thanks for sharing this. Nice to know I've been making these type of repairs like this in the same way.

[@markdandeneau3404]

[@drcdan42]

Very interesting and informative video. When you cut your screening for reinforcement do it on the diagonal. That way when you put it across your seam you'll have twice the number of wires strands crossing the repair.

[@Mavrik9000]

I learned from a video about fabrics and sewing that cuts diagonal to the weave of the material is called cutting 'on the bias'. But with fabrics, the purpose is to provide increased flexibility, as most fabric only stretches in one direction. It's strange how different industries like to make up their own confusing terms for similar things.

[@theforce5191]

This is awesome. Makes me want to go break plastic just to repair it lol

I did a lot of plastic welding as a ski shop tech back in the 90's. We had a hot air welder that didn't require contact with the plastic, but sometimes using a soldering iron or the torch-heated tip of an old screw driver was necessary.

[@brianwelteroth9248]

At my ski shop in the 90s we used PTEX, essentially black ABS, set it on fire and dripped it into the deep scratches of the bases of skis/snowboards.

[@corey6393]

@@brianwelteroth9248 PTEX was quick and easy, but it is pretty soft and would wear out quickly. We had an extrusion gun that was a similar product, but had better adhesion and lasted longer. But sometimes, with deep gouges and core shots, you had to lay in some epoxy, then a few beads of plastic filler rod with the air welder.

This was great. I had damaged the grill on my riding lawn mower when the strap holding it in place on my trailer slipped and the grill bounced off the front wall of my trailer. It wasn't destroyed but it was in pretty bad shape. I've been thinking about different ways of repairing it by adding metal backing and that type of thing. After seeing this I pulled my trusty Weller dual Heat solder gun out and very carefully realign the parts and plastic welded them back together. I've done some repair like this on Old tape recorders and other AV cases but never thought of doing something this big. I was even able to replace a couple of missing pieces of plastic in the grill with other plastic that I salvaged from parts I would have thrown away. This save me over $125. Thanks for great video.

Thanks. Awesome! Perfect instructions, unlike many other lesson videos. I have a big plastic hdpe box I want to hold sand to serve as molds for sculpture concrete casting. But it has a big crack in the bottom. I was hoping it would be possible to salvage, as it is the perfect box for my needs, with strong reinforced sides, & I don't think I could even find one to replace it. I had hauled out wood to build... & now I can save all the wood/ construction/ staining/ sealing.

[@SynthiaVan]

You're really good at that! I'm saving your video to rewatch when I get frustrated. I've been working on my plastic repair skills for a while now (because we live in a plastic world, and I don't like using all my plastic money to constantly buy new plastic things all the time). I'm getting pretty good - I figured out using metal reinforcement, and I also save nicely-contoured bits of junk plastic and extra window screen. I just need a better soldering gun now - I have at least 5 or 6 electric and gas powered pen-type ones at this point that I just don't like... Maybe then I can work more on crafting new filler pieces. What really turned my game around though was being able to finally adhesive-bond those low surface energy plastics (i.e. PP, HDPE, LDPE, high-modulus-PE, PTFE, POM/acetal, TPO). I found polyolefin/LSE primer and a cyanoacrylate brand that I like, and I'm on a roll! Fixed my headlight housing yesterday, a travel mug the day before, it never ends, it all breaks. With the right primer I'm getting a killer bond on all those tricky plastics now, I'm even able to bond Delrin, Teflon, Dyneema, and EPDM stronger than the material itself. Not always a substitute for plastic welding though, which is why I really appreciate the video!! Keep fixin!

With few exceptions, most automotive plastics are some formulation of ABS. I've done the hot air welding and have a wood-burning iron (from the hobby store) and can make most repairs between those two tools. The wood burner is great, as the temp is variable and it comes with a bunch of different tips depending on what you're working on. I have learned that whenever possible, you want to make your filler rod from the same plastic that you're trying to repair.

[@smithsjason2182]

Good tips. I've done this for years. Once in a while you'll get a combo that oxidizes(burns) and either won't stick or becomes brittle. To help that, use some nitrogen or probably whatever welding gas you have to flood the area with shielding gas while they melt. Keeping the tempt down below 400F will also help keep it from scorching. I just bought a hot staple gun to fix a John Deere plastic hood. They are essentially the sam as your wire swiggles that load into the end of the soldering gun type contraption. Once it heats it melts into the plastic. Then you let it cool for a minute and release the staple. Pretty cool product for a larger project. Btw. I found an old Rabbit dash shelf laying in the field at my Dads old place. Not sure if any of it is usable. Lmk if you want to see some pics of it.
