How to Make Liquid Plastic! The Easiest Way to Fix All Broken Plastic

[@jayd3217]

Just a tip if you rub wax onto a part that doesn't need to be fixed but you want the same surface finish in your repair you can use hot glue in the undamaged area to take an impression of the surface and then use the hardened hot glue as one of your repair sides and you will get a near seamless repair. As far as using the ABS it's fine as long as your in a well ventilated area and using proper PPE. Plus you will get a better molecular bond using the same material and a matching color. Which is better then Epoxy.

Yes, Thank you so much!

it's not for all the plastic (hence you can see as he does using plastic cup for) and in case you will combine different tipe of plastic, it won't bond too much well, but for those, what can be melted by acetone or somehow reacts with (PVC, ABS, polystyren) it's nice tip, actually.

Hi Gaus. ABS plastic dissolved in acetone releases styrene which is carcinogenic. I recommend using two-component epoxy resin. It reconstructs the missing parts better and has no health risks

😮 Muchas gracias por esos consejos pero una pregunta y el plástico donde se echa no se derrite 👍

[@zebshirey3458]

To all those who are wondering why the plastic you chose isn't melting or if all plastics can be used Acetone will dissolve PVDF, polycarbonate, Polysulfone, Acrylic, PVC, CPVC. It will NOT dissolve FEP, PFA, ETFE, ECTFE, PCTFE, PEEK, Polypropylene If you use plastic that can dissolve in Acetone and apply it to any other plastic that dissolves in Acetone the residual acetone in your melted mixture will help to melt the edges of the plastic you're applying to and makes it very close to original strength. For other plastics, if you have a small area you need to repair, go grab some T Plus 2 Pipe Thread Sealant from the plumbers section of your hardware store. I know it says thread sealant but trust me, it will work for plastics fantastically. If you're trying to repair a large area, then look up how professionals repair plastic trim on vehicles and apply that technique to the large area you need to fix.

[@davidsteinfeld9123]

Questions about your idea here I like it lots why not weld it ? Will the asitone work on all plastics? Some plastics are meant to with stand harsh chemicals like that of asitone And about how long will it take for the slurry project to dry or cure completely? Love the idea 😀😀💡💡!!!!!!

[@orionpax3680]

Polystyrene, acrylic, polycarbonate, ABS, and asorted copolymers can melt in acetone. PP plastic (Polypropylene), which is used in many things around the house and car/moto parts, doesn't melt.

Facts: actually with practice it's an acquired skill, better blade control to cut towards you. i read this how they prove it to be true years ago. just be safe Bro's

[@DrZipZwan]

I also learned the hard way, to never use the utility knife to you, I mean if it miss , straight to your finger! Always cut from you direction. If you need absolutly to cut something, to your side direction, make sure to never hold the object like he did in the video! Hold it in a way, with keeping in mind that if it miss cut, if wont hurt your holding hand.

[@renesolaire8319]

Opposite. It’s only possible to control blade progression when it’s closing to you. If it’s going away from you, you are weaker and have much less control on it so it’s very hazardous, and high risk of getting harm for you or others. But it’s true his left hand is not correctly positioned, and blade movement erratic, it’s probably due to video constraint.

[@captainotto]

This works equally well with PMMA/Acrylic/Perspex as it does with PC as shown. I have been doing this to make specialty mixes of PMMA weld. Be advised that with PMMA or PC you want to make your donor chips as small as possible. With softer plastics such as PC, you can use a cheese grater or with harder plastics such as PMMA you could use a metal file. Beware that with PMMA, crazing is possible with extruded sheet. Best results are found when welding cast PMMA.

[@maxinvictus]

Can you specify the types of plastic in terms of the grading code (1-7) that is stamped on which work? Also what is the percentage of acetone that you need? Will regular nail polish remover work?

[@captainotto]

@@maxinvictus Well that was interesting. I never checked until now but it's surprising that PMMA is actually #7. That's a shame too because it is actually fully recyclable with multiple cheap and safe pathways. You may find PMMA sold as Plexiglass in US/Canada, Perspex in Europe, or worldwide as Acrylic (as in Acrylic paints or Acrylic resin). As for w/w I usually just eyeball it but you can definitely be more scientific about it. Start around 1:1 and work your way up or down as needed. Dissolving takes time. Can take several days. Use a container safe for acetone such as glass or PP (#5). Nail polish remover should be fine so long as it does not contain any oils, fragrances, dyes, or other chemicals.

The plastic used in the video is ABS plastic, which breaks down when you add Acetone to it, resulting in the plastic sludge.

​@fu1r4 Try stirring it with something to agitate it, add in some fresh acetone, and give it 24 hours. This helps when I've had a lot of material in a small container. It's almost like the Acetone can only react to so much material at once. There's a small window to get it to the perfect consistency and sometimes that chewing gum viscosity is preferred. It just depends on what you're trying to adhere it to. Also, I am not the uploader of the video, lol. Just someone who uses this method frequently.
