Rather than use Acetone to convert the plastic blocks back into a liquid, you should heat them up instead. A good place to start is around 325°F but it may be necessary to experiment to find out what works. Not all plastics melt at the same temp and you don't want to burn your plastic so start at a lower temp. Anyway, the blocks will revert back into a liquid but you won't foul up the plastic with the Acetone. With a heated melt, you also usually don't have to be concerned with bubbles either which is good. The smart play when repurposing the plastic into something like a handle for tools is to make a permanent mould that either fits together with the tool during the heat process or make a general mould to convert the plastic to square or round stock that can subsequently be shaped into a handle after the plastic rehardens. One of the best plastics to use for a handle is the caps from soda bottles. That grade of plastic is durable yet not brittle which means it doesn't like to crack or break because it has a little bit of flex to it. As for using the plastic caps, you don't necessarily need to cut them into smaller pieces but you might find it's better to do so if you have a small mould. Some folks cut them up with heavy shears or sharp wire cutters but attaining a spare kitchen blender can work as well if the blades are sharp. The key to success is making sure that the mould becomes 100% full during the melt and one of the best ways to do that is to heat the moulds in a vertical position so the plastic flows downward thus filling them. Some sources for sacrificial moulds to make bar stock are tin cans, glass bottles or even aluminum foil. After your repurposed plastic hardens, tin cans can be cut off, glass can be broken off and aluminum foil can be peeled off. The great thing about aluminum foil is that it's cheap and can easily be formed into a wide variety of shapes. With foil, you're only limited by the ability of the foil to retain the shape you form it into when you remelt the plastic... make too big of a foil mould without support and the foil mould may fail so keep that in mind. Ways to support a foil mould is to: - Use aluminum tape on the outside of the foil. - Use chicken wire for support on the outside or any other metallic mesh that will take the heat. - Manufacture a metal box large enough to hold the foil mould... and install the aluminum foil mould into Plaster of Paris and cure it before using the mould for a plastic melt. - Manufacture a metal box large enough to hold the foil mould... but install sand into the box surrounding the foil instead of PoP. As for the PoP, make a thicker mix and have someone slowly pour it into the sandbox while you slowly pour sand into the inside of the foil mould. The sand will act as a backer for the foil thus holding it in place as the PoP cures. Once cured, dump out the sand and load the mould with your plastic for heating. Note that using a sandbox can be tricky as the sand or PoP also may collapse the foil mould even after it's loaded... foil is thin and it likes to deform even if you don't want it to. You can combat unwanted deformation by using many layers of foil, however, if the mould is too big, the foil will still fail to hold the shape you desire which means it'll still require backing of some kind. Instead of PoP or sand, some folks have found success with casting sands (foundry), clay or heavy mud too but remember what you put into an oven may make fumes... fumes that you don't want to breathe or have smell up your house or shop. When using PoP, clay, mud or anything else that contains water then the smart thing to do is to let it dry out and cure before making a melt. You'll avoid fumes as well as steam which is a definite no-no... steam will cause mould deformation! At the end of the day, I've found the best permanent moulds are made from metals and are of the 2-piece design although multi-piece moulds above two parts can be made to suit your needs. Best wishes! - Max Giganteum

[@YouCanTelevision]

Hello Max! Thanks a lot for such a detailed instruction! I thought about your methods - this could work, but I doubt about the way to pour the liquid plastic into the mould. If you will work with the heated plastic - pouring it would be a difficult task. You would need to have a kind of self-heating syringe or something like that - otherwise, the heated plastic would not be able to pour to the mould. I think so...

[@MaxGiganteum]

@@YouCanTelevision I was going to tease you and say that you're not thinking outside the box... but then I realized that I assumed you would follow along with my thoughts and come to the same conclusion I would when it came to using the plastic. Question: do you pour molten plastic into the mould...? Or do something else to get the plastic in? OK, I'll come right out and say it - you load the plastic bits into the mould before you heat the mould. You end up with a mould that is mostly full once melted... if not completely full depending on your design. On a permanent mould that is NOT built for an injection machine there is always a small opening somewhere on the mould which allows three things: 1. You get to see how full the mould is. 2. It allows air to escape the mould. 3. It provides a location for adding more plastic, even if the opening is small. Remember, the permanent mould you're making for home use will be very similar to but not be 100% exacting to one made for an injection moulding machine. In injection moulding, the opening used to inject the plastic may be small but it is always under pressure. The plastic is molten outside the mould. The moulds themselves always have a few small holes in them which allows air to escape. The casting "flash" that remains once the item cools is removed after the fact. For an unpressurized mould, such as what you'd make for home use, it doesn't need to have any holes in it to relieve air pockets thus ensuring total fill - you just need one hole at the top for adding in extra material. For home use, your permanent mould is never under pressure and molten plastic is not injected into it. You pre-load the mould and add in only what is needed to make a complete fill and you do it during the heat. To ensure a 100% fill, you simply push in more solid plastic bits to make up the difference and give them time to melt. On a fully open mould, you just dump in as much as you need which is easy... such as if you're making bar stock. With all that said, I will note that some folks do make a permanent mould with additional small holes drilled in them and they do so because they will still use a piston to put pressure on the plastic to ensure that the plastic is pushed into all the parts of the mould. If you design your permanent mould correctly, it's easy to place it in a press to apply pressure but that's a personal preference and it usually boils down to your level of success. Some folks are more successful using one technique over another - just figure out what works for you and go with it. The relief holes? They are typically about .030 to .050 in diameter. Again, figure out what works for you. Here's my best advice after writing another chapter: conduct a few experiments when it comes to slicing, dicing or shredding your plastic before attempting to make more complex permanent moulds. The finer the bits or fluff you make, the easier it is to pack a mould prior to heating and the less topping off you'll have to do during a melt once you're red hot and rolling. The bonus is that you'll be far less likely to experience the problem of having air pockets. Also, make a couple of less complex permanent moulds before moving on to more complex moulds. The idea is that you'll gain real working experience and see how things actually turn out. You'll get to see what works and what doesn't as well as how messy melted plastic can be. IMHO, the best thing to always do is to never handle molten plastic - always keep it inside a mould. You eliminate so many problems that way... such as air pockets or incomplete castings. Best wishes and happy casting! - Max Giganteum

Ну результат-то так себе, если посчитать стоимость шприцов и ацетона (может оказаться что и дешевле купить промышленно исполненные ручки), можно было бы отформовать ручки и поэстетичнее из чего-то другого самоотвердевающегося, или отлить из той же эпоксидной смолы в которую добавить можно всего что душа желает, в качестве наполнителя. Ручки получились пористые, мелкие, не ровной формы. И обрабатывать их пришлось, шкурить-шлифовать...Как наполнитель для прозрачного материала интересен, а так возможно хрупок из-за пористости... Можно слепок сделать герметиком или силиконом из любой удобной рукоятки и залить любой из отвердевающих материалов. Годится эксперимент, если остатки детского конструктора надоели под ногами и его срочно нужно извести...мешать надо тщательнее, тогда пузырей не будет и дать после размешивания выйти воздуху...Цвета классные, их можно смешивать и формовать скульптуры или декоративные вещи...Жаль, у меня не завалялось детских игрушек...Если пластик, такой пузырчатый и пористый мы в мастерской музея примешиваем карбонат калия после первой пробной отливки..., он тогда плотный становится, не рыхлый, не пористый...Идея повторного использования, творческое применение современных материалов и ваши эксперименты с ними , заслуживают бесспорно уважения.

По поводу размешивания, к сожалению, чем больше мешаешь эту массу, тем больше она пузырится, поэтому мешанием от пузырей избавиться нельзя. Воздух после размешивания не уходит. Возможно, в данном случае решить вопрос можно специальной камерой с давлением или центрифугой, но как вы понимаете, тут уже точно, игра не будет стоить свеч...

I wonder how much acetone to add in proportion the plastic. What if you soaked but drain the acetone before it gets absorbed? Just soften the plastic so it can be rolled into a dough ball then formed as you wish like clay and allow it to harden over time. Also wonder if some catalyst can be added with the acetone to accelerate the hardening so contact with air be unnecessary.

[@YouCanTelevision]

I added acetone in the amount of half the amount of plastic. Trying to adjust the quantity of acetone enough just to soften the plastic so it can be rolled into a dough ball is a very good idea, I need to try it. May be I will shoot a video about that some day... Regarding the catalyst - also a very good question, but I am not a chemist to give you grounded reply on it. May be there is somebody here with chemical background, who can shed a light on this issue?

Yes, acetone dissolves plastic! - And for the same reason it will also dissolve the syringes in a not very long time. So don't think you can store the dissolved plastic in the syringes for very long. - Also, in case you intend to pour the plastic into molds, you have to take into acount that as the acetone evaporates there will be some shrinkage due to the lost volume of the acetone.

Hello and thank you for your commenting. The hardness of the plastic may not be so hard as it is in the initial Lego bricks, as mixing them with acetone causes some bubbles.

how long is it possible to keep the mixture in a syringe. Does it melt?

[@YouCanTelevision]

You can keep the mixture in a closed syringe for a couple of weeks or so. But I would rather "prepare" a new mixture every time I need it

Sirve la acetona que remueve el esmalte de uñas??

[@YouCanTelevision]

Puedes intentarlo, tal vez funcione. Pero para estar seguro es necesario tomar acetona al 100% de concentración

Yes, I already had legos that is why I used them

I do not know exactly the type of the plastic legos are, you need a plastics specialist for this. But I know for sure that not every plastic can be liquefied with acetone

Здравствуйте! А можно ли, точно так же, таким образом расплавить стекло? Спасибо за ранее за ваш ответ!

[@YouCanTelevision]

Расплавить обычное стекло можно только путем нагревания. Если вы имеете ввиду оргстекло, что по факту является пластиком, то его тоже ацетоном растворить нельзя, необходимы другие растворители

How can we get rid of the bubbles?

[@YouCanTelevision]

I do not know, they appear in the result of the reaction between the acetone and the plastic. Some professional knowledge needed for this

[@iceman1st1]

@@YouCanTelevision I've been do this with abs for awhile when i need things fixing and always wondered how to get rid of of the bubbles and was trying to find out how to do it and found heat will draw the bubbles out, but i think if you was to try warming it up in the jar before hand it would work better. a vacuum chamber could be the best bet

[@YouCanTelevision]

Thanks a lot for your input!

[@MaxGiganteum]

Easy... centrifugal force. Align the moulds (syringes) with the center of a disc and spin up the disc. This will force the plastic outward from the center and displace the bubbles. You'll have to construct a jig and mount it on a motor but this should be easy to accomplish - you could use a drill for a motor and manufacture a jig from wood. All you really need is a piece of wood thick enough to hold a syringe or two, a bolt that will affix to the wood and be able to be mounted in a drill and some material to act as a "lid" which will hold the moulds in place though you could probably use duct tape. In other words, you don't actually need a disk, just a piece of wood wide enough to hold a mould on each end with the bolt installed into the center point. The key is balance, you want the jig to spin freely and not wobble so that you can zip up the speed. More speed = more force to displace bubbles. You are welcome! - Max Giganteum

[@user-ig3mb9jw1z]

я это делал еще в конце восьмидесятых, когда в школе учился. Литье получается очень корявое, много пустот при высыхании ацетона. пойдет только длятонких слоев, а толстый больше сантиметра будет сохнуть много дней

[@YouCanTelevision]

Тут зависит от того, на сколько жидкий пластик получается. Если добавить минимум ацетона, и сделать максимально не жидкую массу, то количестов пузырьков будет меньше да и высохнет она быстрее. Проверено опытным путем

[@user-zr2il8yt7u]

Надо было не снимать колбочку от шприца, а просто удалить выступающие, лишние части. Выглядело бы более эстетично и ручки остались гладенькими.

[@YouCanTelevision]

Я пробовал такой метод, но он не сработал - ацетон очень медленно испаряется и поэтому не застывает. В любом случае ручки не смогут быть гладкими, так как при застывании этот пластик сжимается и становится бугристым

You can do the same with the plastic used for CD boxes. I have a video on the channel about this

[@exploayuda]

[@micheledomin-jones]

Will acetone do this to any plastic? Like bottle caps

[@YouCanTelevision]

Of course not. You can liquefy only some kinds of plastic with acetone (it must have 100% concentration). Try such Lego bricks or CD-box covers. This should work. I saw some videos where bottle caps were liquefied with the help of heating

Basically - yes, but usually, fingernail polish remover does not have 100% concentration of acetone, but in order to liquefy a plastic you would need 100% concentration!

[@user-kp4en8vl1z]

А зачем убирать оболочку шприца после застывания? Прекрасная круглая ручка

[@YouCanTelevision]

В принципе, можно было бы, но пластик при высыхании немного сжимается, и потом может болтаться внутри оболочки, поэтому это спорное решение
