[@TonnyVanLoon]

This only works if you use the same type of plastic when you make a new slab. PE doesn’t stick to PP, for example. Nice trick though. Greetings from Belgium 😊

[@Repairman10169]

Thats correct, thanks for the feedback 👍

[@johnmilner7603]

Save time and just buy Permatex Plastic Welder and fix the original piece. It hardens like a rock in 10 min and can be drilled, filed and sanded. Comes only in black when mixed and cured.

[@Repairman10169]

Hi, thanks for the sugestion but in this case original piece was missed.

[@bobbieevoy4332]

@@Repairman10169 Agreed, I have the same problem broken with missing part......

[@ADP12345]

The original piece will be gone in most cases. Especially on a car

[@philgray1023]

​@@ADP12345That is invariably the case.

[@philgray1023]

Permatex is $25 for 25mls. My soldering iron cost $14.95. I got that exact stapler for $2 from a Salvation Army op shop. I'll guarantee that after 2 years I'll have a useless 22 mls of Permatex in my shed turning to rock.

[@philgray1023]

I knew this could be done, thanks for videoing it and showing your approach.

Why not just repair the crack in the original tab by joining with a staple and plastic weld it? Why cut off the whole tab?

[@tehtapemonkey]

I imagine he'd lost the tab by then

[@geodun]

Video would be too short.

[@tkorte101]

He didn't cut off a tab, he copied an existing tab to replace one that was missing.

[@Blue-moon12]

The tab was missing already

[@Rw-kt7qt]

@@Blue-moon12What are you talking about? Did you even watch the video? Go to timestamp 0:22. The tab is still attached man. 😂

[@LTTUSA]

Nice Video 👍 You can buy a plastic welding kit from Harbor Freight for around $22. The kit includes some great accessories including the iron. It takes practice to repair different types of plastic but it’s a skill that will save you throughout your life.

[@Repairman10169]

Thanks for your feedback 👍👋

[@petermark9660]

Yes, I have the one from Harbor Freight, bought probably 3 years ago. I used it several times, its great.

[@bobdobalina8910]

The Staples are good, HOWEVER, I go one step further and grab either a Fibreglass or Square Metal Mesh and use that on both sides, melting it into the original plastic bumper with "extra" plastic melted over top of. One last thing to consider, which I do as well, I take usually 60 to 80 grit sandpaper, and make sure to rough up both sides of the NEW replace piece as well as the portion of the bumper where it will attach to before I lay over the Fibre or Metal Mesh. You will find you get a much stronger mechanical bond this way.

[@philgray1023]

Great idea. We get this aluminium mesh that they use for fly screens it moulds in place and would be excellent for this.

[@Lost_on_stage_again]

How do I now repair the other bumper I cut apart to repair the first one?

[@fredericksaxton3991]

Bravo from the U.K. I like this fix very much. Just what I need for my Jag Xtype undershield.

[@Repairman10169]

Glad you liked !

[@duncanjames914]

Greetings from Canada! I appreciate how you repair things rather than throw them away. A hot glue gun can also be used to create a bond with your new piece of plastic. Thanks for sharing!

[@johnh9200]

You stole my Thunder, but. I can add that a Cable/Zip tie, can used for the weld. Other things I have seen on You Tube is Cotton Balls and Super Glue and repair it like a Fibreglass repair.

[@edeaglehouse2221]

The hot glue gun can be used to melt the plastic but the hot melt glue won't hold. You actually have to fuse the joint. Low temperature glue guns may not get hot enough to melt the plastic.

[@stim141]

How is the strength? Can it flex like the original or will it snap right off because if the heat is too high it changes the plastic? The do make plastic welder kits which aren't that expensive if you use them all the time and they include weld rods for the type of plastic you are using.

Italy IT I tried using the soldering iron to directly glue the two parts but they did not resist, this method is interesting, the staples give the holding base and the additional plastic reinforcement completes the welding

[@jamietoro8373]

[@timeonly1401]

They sell plastic "welder" kits with a bunch (hundreds?) of straight, angled & wiggly staples to do this exact type of repair for $20-$40. For a one-off, this video shows a good technique. But if there's a largish crack, or a crack in an angle-piece, the kits are hard to beat. Saves you the trouble of making the tool(s) and improvising staples.. And, after this one repair, you're ready for the next 50 or more repairs. 😁

I have rebuilt such parts using Aluminum sheeting, with welding and grinding. It will last soooo long.

[@Repairman10169]

Great advice 👍👋

[@jasonhaynes2952]

This is the hard way! All you gotta do is ignore the plastic tab, and drill a hole in the main piece to thread a plastic zip tie through it. You run the zip tie through the hole and then through the bolt hole. It'll probably last longer than an actual bolt

[@martinwolf5957]

Берется нихромовая проволока, а можно и просто пружину. Толщина провода, диаметр, и шаг намотки - в зависимости от толщины свариваемых деталей. Спираль располагается вдоль трещины/стыка. Подключаем к концам спирали источник тока, и нагревая спираль, вдавливаем ее деревянной дощечкой. Лучше чем паяльником перемешивается пластмасса в зоне шва, одновременно армируется, прочность, думаю, выше получается, чем показанным способом

[@wootuser]

On top of the stapling, the big trick here is to use and melt the very same plastic you are working with, don't get plastic from some other place. If you melt some other plastic it may not bond together.
