Anyone damaging a paint tray this often needs to be more careful.

Brilliant! I make it a point to learn something new everyday. Thank you for the useful tips and educational demonstration.

So you learned you could save a boat load of time and just purchase a new pan for like $1.99...

[@diymaster101]

@@David-vn2idfriend this can be used on any plastic that has problem :)

[@creationholic101]

Wow, this is truly a genius method for repairing broken plastic! Your creativity and problem-solving skills are remarkable

[@arthurmann578]

Very nice showing the different options you can use for reenforcement like a paper clip, or even some thin copper wire strands. I know that some people use staples or metal screening/mesh but I didn't even think of these here! 👍👍

[@spectre5982]

Does this also work for broken plastic umbrella stem?

[@arthurmann578]

@@spectre5982 It might be tough because of the small surface area, the thin round stem, and the amount of force that high winds can place on an umbrella. You can try it but it just might be better to scrap it and buy a new umbrella.

agreed, solid video

It's awesome! You saved my life and changed my look on problems with damaged plastics. :)

Great fix-it video for plastic repair. I had one thought on the section using the "spring rings / plastic topping. Same procedure on the "inside" of the cover would leave the outside of the cover possibly "smoother" finish for later paint, etc - use plastic filler only on outside, then sand / paint. Again, great ideas on your end. Thanks!!

LOVE LOVE THIS!! Need to fix an opaque white lampshade. What do you think?

[@genmaxpain]

use stainless mesh , it will never corrode or break

[@tiger-of3by]

凄い補修技です。参考になります。

[@eyeonart6865]

Clever! We In the USA are very wasteful. I look to see if I can fix or reuse to save money. I have gardening buckets that has a hole in them and wanted a way to fix hole and reuse. TY

[@serega4087]

You can also use metal mesh used to repair fiberglass for cracks at any autozone

[@silverminer1]

That's the cleanest paint tray I've ever seen. Mine don't look like that.

[@stoopidbastid6420]

You may consider getting a metal paint tray. Good vid for general plastic repair though.

[@maicopperwings]

Great idea! Great video! Thank you!

[@DarkCid7777]

Don't forget to wear proper protection, especially mask to protect yourself from the toxic fumes coming from the plastic

[@feralinc.8693]

In other words, use small bits of metal as the thatching/heat conductor and use zip ties as the solder/tar to finish the seal.

[@sliderdriver1]

£1.50 buys a new tray or £3 to repair it😂. I've used melted zip ties, plastic coffee spoons and straws for repairing automotive plastics since the late 80's, cheap and ingenious repairs👍🏻

[@simonw2631]

I think i’m gon’a try that trick with the zip tie tho.

Excellent and creative. THANK YOU!

[@deanjagger1190]

Great Ideas, I wonder if that will work on my vans cracked pumper?

[@BillEyles]

In order for this to work you must use the same type of plastic for it to bond correctly the zip tie used in the demonstration is made of nylon like they all are the paint tray was more than likely HDPE or PP poly propylene.

[@LeandroFTW]

Foil tape is my go to!

I know some people are making smart ass comments but i just ruined a $200 dollar crossbow magazine, it still functions but there’s a hole in it. This was a great way to fix it.

this embraces lifestyle beliefs away from the usual throw it away mentality when items are easily repaired.

[@AerialHoopGuy]

Awesome and innovative ways to repair plastic, and glad you showed how to do it if one doesn't have a soldering iron or spare pieces of metal or plastic to work with (paperclips are easy to find)! Still, this video's a great incentive to invest in some tools.

yes my bikes chain guard, which is similar like a mud guard, has also cracked apart. which way did u use to fix it? just zip ties and a lighter or did u use some metals?

[@brittanywright9646]

Those nylon zip ties will flake right off when melting like that. Easier to use plumbers abs cement and shavings from a pvc pipe to create stronger sealing/filling material like with saw dust and wood glue.

When repairing a small crack, why would any metal reinforcement be necessary if the plastics have been thoroughly fused?

I would just buy another paint pan. But the techniques are awesome.

Someone who consistently damages a paint tray like this should exercise greater caution.
