Ingenious Method! Fix All Plastic Parts Using Cable Ties

[@RetirementFund750]

With plastic welding you have to add the same type of plastic that you are working on or it will not stick. This will only work on plastic bumpers that are made of the same plastic as the zip ties. What i have done on bumpers that use different types of plastic is to cut a strip from somewhere that isn’t seen and use it, that way you know it’s the same because it came from the same bumper.

Rule number one of plastic welding is ''never mix plastics unless they are compatible''. Rule 4 says that both surfaces need to be at melting point to make a proper weld. Rule 16 ''when having cracks, stop them drilling a hole at the end'' Rule 23 (or 24 I dont remember) metal mesh or hot staples make a bond super strong Rule 23b: welding both sides make a weld even stronger

Я каякер, и иногда в корпусе каяков от ударов бывают трещины, их приходится ремонтировать дома. Самый надёжный способ - с помощью паяльника вплавить вырезанные полосы металлической сетки шириной не менее одного дюйма. В местах изгибов корпуса очень удобно использовать подходящие полосы вырезанные из старого полусферического кухонного сита с крупной ячейкой. Вплавлять металлическую сетку нужно так, чтобы она полностью погрузилась в пластик. Такое соединение уже никогда не ломается.

Zip ties are a good plastic for some things. I've found that stripped plastic oil quarts do the best job. I managed to seal a" plastic "gas tank in a Chevy blazer permanently with a single quart mobil one oil container and a soldering iron. Just flail them into 1/8 inch strips and melt it into the structure nice n thick, she held tight for 4 plus years until it sold. The plastic for oil containers don't degrade as they are formulated to hold petroleum based lubricants and distillates which makes them perfect for most applications. 👌

[@rudolphvanthoff1391]

Two things, unsure if the melted cable ties would get hot enough to also melt the surrounding plastic, meaning it would just tack onto and not integrate. It would be cheaper and more reliable to use the dremelled out pieces with the spade bit process as they are the same plastic. Also would suggest pushing in metal pieces across the cracks. I bend staples into W shapes and position them across the crack with the spade bit. Great suggestions of yours though, and a stimulative video for those that are willing but just never thought of it.

I've done the staple trick also and I like the idea of using the same plastic as filler. I was thinking a couple of layers of fibreglass or at least tape to bridge the seams. As it is one tap would probably re-open the wound...

[@gaijininja]

The “P - P” on the car panel indicates it is polypropylene, as many cable ties are. Good quality cable ties are black PP, while the cheaper ones are any colour and nylon. Nylon ones are easy to break, so fairly easy to work out which is which.

I use a suitable metal mesh and also fuse it into the place of failure to increase the strength of the structure.

[@swedishpsychopath8795]

@@sergiydy2820 You are wrong - Metal mesh won't be strong enough.

[@Davegbuf]

Excellent. It's a nice alternative for DYI if these are the materials you have available. I would not have trimmed the melted material down flush and sanded it because 1) it would not be visible after reinstalled and 2) the extra material creates a stronger bond. If repairing a visible surface then yes, I would trim, sand, and finish it. I would also reinforce the opposite side if appropriate for the application. As an alternative solution (and one that you would leave as-is without trimming), try plain 5 minute epoxy and push some thin pieces or strands of steel wool into the applied surface. This works similar to when you reinforce concrete with steel rebar. After it dries, add a second coat of plain epoxy if you want a smoother surface to cover the rough surface of the previous coat with the steel wool. This second coat also gives the bond more strength and you can sand off any bumps if you want.

[@Troy_Built]

I've seen steel window screen used for backing to make it stronger.

[@4saken404]

@@totalnoobfishing1753 There's other videos that show this better. The first part with the soldering iron trick is legit. But as several other comments have said you'll want to melt some metal mesh of some sort into the plastic. Also with a kayak I would definitely only try to do the main repair by melting the existing plastic. I doubt much else will want to stick to it. Once the main structural repair is done you can always try to add some sealer to fill the smaller remaining cracks. Might still leak a little but let's face it no kayak is 100% dry anyway.

[@Davegbuf]

@@totalnoobfishing1753 I haven't really done any videos or have much inclination for posting one at this time; however, I am adding a shared link to a few photos of a recent repair I did and which I'll explain below. The process is really as simple as I explained in my previous comments. Spread one layer of epoxy on the surface to be repaired followed by a layer of steel wool pressed on top of it with your fingers. Finally, a second coat of plain epoxy over the top, minutes later after the first coat sets in, or even the next day. I prefer to add the second layer while the first is still a little tacky so it fuses better into the first, but I have done so successfully after the next day also. Tips: 1) I got larger tubes of epoxy at Harbor Freight inexpensively. I have seen some on Amazon also. 2) You can try to make a mix of epoxy and steel wool in a separate container for some small applications, but I found that to be too messy for larger and other situations. I think it's best to manage each layer of material individually and not deal with a big mess. 3) the steel wool pad I used, could be unrolled out like a roll of paper. I cut off pieces or longer strips of steel wool to suite my project's needs. It's important to have these pre-cut and ready to use before you mix the epoxy because you only have a few minutes to work. 4) Don't mix more epoxy than you can manage at anytime. It dries quick. You can always mix small batches and overlap while you work on larger repairs. 5) Sand and scratch up the surface to be repaired so the epoxy sticks well to the surface. 6) Use a good amount of epoxy for the first layer and work it into the steel wool with your fingers such that the epoxy underneath it works it's way up and saturates the steel wool. You can also try pouring a little over the wool and/brush it on with a small brush or spread with flat piece of plastic or stick. 7) If you are fixing a crack in material like plastic or similar, drill holes at the ends of the cracks to prevent the cracks from spreading further. This is an important tip I learned from watching Forged in Fire where it's used some times to fix cracks on steel knives. 8) In some situations, you might want to do the same treatment on both sides of the project for extra strength. About the photos in the link below: This was a casual repair to fix a long clear toute to store stuff in my basement. I could have done a nicer job, but pretty was not a priority. I final product turned out very strong and water proof. From the inside of the container, you can see two 3/8 inch holes on each end of the crack to prevent it from cracking further. I trimmed the epoxy flush that oozed out of the holes after it dried. On the bottom side, I sanded and scuffed the plastic enough so the epoxy would stick to the smooth surface of the container. After the second epoxy layer dried, I sanded off any pointy bumps on the epoxy so it would not snag or scratch anything (or my hands) when I'm handling the container. The repair worked out perfectly, and has the ability to flex a little if needed without cracking the repair material. Enjoy... photos.app.goo.gl/zj3wC4upqGHHUz97A

[@Davegbuf]

@@totalnoobfishing1753 By the way... make a video if you have a chance. I would enjoy watching it! I think the epoxy-steel wool method should work well for you especially because of the need for a little flex. Other things I have tried are are styrofoam dissolved into acetone mixture and crazy glue with other substances like baking soda, but these methods result in a hard and brittle patch that will more likely crack and brake off when flexed. These are good for other situations where rigidity is OK, adherence to other kinds of materials, or making a part out of a mold. Look them up on KZbin, experiment, and keep them all in your mental arsenal of tools for future use.

I personally use different 3D printer filaments as weld material - generally to great success.

Нормальную нагрузку такая пайка не держит. Потому что когда расплавленный пластик засыхает, он становится очень неэластичным и весьма хрупким.

Another great idea is, after you weld the crack, lay some steel staples flat across the joint and use a small flat head nail like a #4 (cut short to fit in a soldering iron) to melt the staple down into the plastic and smooth melted plastic over it as an additional mechanical binder to hold the cracked part together.

@@zeez3139 you have to use the same plastic. And it probably has to be a thermoplastic, which not all plastics are. I think ABS, polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), polyamide (nylon), possibly also polyester (PET) and vinyl (PVC) will work. With the same plastic as filler, of course. Polyurethane (PU), epoxy resin, melamine and silicone are examples of plastics that are not thermoplastics. I guess cable ties are either PE, PVC, or maybe nylon/polyamide, which explains why they won't work with ABS. Coat hangers may well be polystyrene, which is probably compatible enough with ABS (which is a different kind of styrene-based polymer) to work.

It isn't precise, but with a little experimenting you can get it set just around melting point. When the plastic overheats it breaks the makeup of the plastic making it weak or brittle. Especially apparent when trying to do nylon with full temp. Gets all brown and kind of has a sizzling effect.

Be sure to use foil tape (like in the video); if you use regular duck tape, the glue could get sticky from the heat of the melted plastic, even though it's on the other side.

"PCBs belong to a broad family of man-made organic chemicals known as chlorinated hydrocarbons. PCBs were domestically manufactured from 1929 until manufacturing was banned in 1979. They have a range of toxicity and vary in consistency from thin, light-colored liquids to yellow or black waxy solids. Due to their non-flammability, chemical stability, high boiling point and electrical insulating properties, PCBs were used in hundreds of industrial and commercial applications." So how ?

Not trying to be critical, just FYI. You don't have to make the divit in the plastic. If you draw the tip of the glue gun tip towards the gun to premelt melt the base plastic as you add plastic with a wire feed welding pattern, it bonds the plastic much deeper/stronger .

@@Виталий-е3р4ы Есть два метода ремонта пластика, каждый из которых имеет право на существование: 1. С армированием. Вплавляешь в пластик сетку или что-то подобное. Но стоит помнить что сетка дорогая и она не всегда под рукой, а бежать по магазинам искать её иногда очень не хочется, хоть армирование и значительно усиливает прочностные характеристики. 2. Без армирования. Наплавлять пластиковые полоски под феном, стяжка, просто паяльником с регулировкой температуры пройтись по всему шву. Мастер сам выбирает каким методом в данном случае пользоваться.

A lot of great ideas, I just don't know about stuffing cable ties into a glue gun and melting them. I'd probably try using a soldering gun to get the same consistency, laying individual staples across each channel and filling them in with the melted cable tie plastic. The metal staples reinforce the fix.

[@madmacuser]

Thanks! I have learnt a new method to fix broken plastic.

[@THISANDTHATKOREA]

이런 기발한 방법이 있다니요. 대단합니다 !!

[@iamironsam]

That's cool! I did that myself sometimes. Anyway it might not hold up as the original because some plastic materials require specific extrusion temperatures or heat treatments in order to have the correct crystal structure to perform as expected. It might not be as resilient

[@pRoFlT]

nice. I've seen similar processes for this. One of the main problems I've seen is that zip ties are sometimes not enough. you need to melt in some metal backing so it wont rip apart later. Like some staples etc. i would love to see if you bent this if it held together or not. Nice work though. came out pretty good in the end. I agree with other commenter. if they made a plastic glue gun stick that would be awesome. or use one of those 3d printer pens. The hardest part is matching the material type. certain plastics wont melt together nicely.

[@rogertaylor8615]

They do make plastic welding rods go to harbor fright and get them

[@pRoFlT]

@@rogertaylor8615 the size of glue sticks. so they fit right into the glue gun? i thought they were just small sticks. just like sticking zip ties in the gun?

[@h4z4rd42]

If he used the proper material and method, the bond could have been strong. This way it's just garbage. PP and PA just don't match.

[@cristopherfrakes1416]

Thank God you painted it! That was the important step! Since the plastic weld won't hold it together long, maybe the paint will!

[@Karmabim123]

The cable ties are usually made from Nylon and the car bumper is made from a range including polycarbonates, polypropylene, polyamides, polyesters, polyurethanes, and thermoplastic olefins or TPOs many bumpers contain a combination of these different materials. It is not likely that the Nylon would form a good bond.

[@ДмитрийНовицкий-п2р]

Можно, берете стандартный прозрачный стержень, он и вытолкает остатки чёрного пластика.

[@buddyboy4x44]

Since cable ties seem to be a common choice for these kinds of repairs, I wonder if glue sticks of the same material might be available. If not, perhaps one could make the sticks melting the ties into a mold. Just a thought. Great technique shown here though.

[@bryanlee5397]

3D pen is that thing you find.

[@SireSquish]

I thought that maybe 3D printing ABS filament might be useful for this.

[@disappointedguy]

There are rods of many types of plastics available specilly made for welding, though not designed for the glue gun used in this video. You can directly use those rods melting them with the soldering iron.

I used to have a toy called Spin-Welder. It was a little handheld with plastic rods that you put on the spin-"gun". Then, pull the trigger, and spin along the joint. It was a toy that really would be useful.

[@jeffersonsidney122]

Show de bola ... Parabéns !!!

[@ryokoaikawa3936]

Strength is also being considered, but is the type of resin for the main unit and the cable tie the same? . Wouldn't it be better to melt it with a soldering iron instead of scraping it too deep?

[@Itsallsotiresome]

Since you asked questions(showing you want to learn and understand) rather than just stating opposition to the method and being a narcissistic jackass like so many people are these days, I'll explain it. It's precisely because of strength of the bond being required that scraping it that deep is necessary. Without doing that there isn't enough of the melted plastic of the cable ties to fill in the gap and give a strong enough hold between the breaks. Melting it with a soldering iron isn't going to bond the plastic together reliably alone and just reduces the ability to repair it if gone about that way alone. The reason why he did the scores in the crevasse with the ridges, is it gives the melted plastic something more to bond to and if there is any failures in bonding throughout the entire repair, the "chambers" separating it all with the ridges prevents one breakage from causing a full breakage. In an optimal situation, yes, it would be better to use the exact kind of plastic as the thing being repaired to repair it if that method is available, but since plastics are mostly the same with very little differences, using cable ties made of a different kind of plastic than the main unit isn't going to affect the final outcome really and it's impact on the strength of the repair is negligible. May the Heavenly Father bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ if it be the Father's will.

[@HATiKO787]

​@@Itsallsotiresome в конце комментария было неожиданно, я чуть в церковь не пошёл, но потом вспомнил, что я на работе

[@Itsallsotiresome]

I translated your comment into English using google translate and had a hearty chuckle. The reason for it is Matthew 5:47-48 KJV, and the phrasing is made that way by me because it reflects what Jesus Christ said about wanting to have that bitter cup passed from Him if it's possible, but always putting the will of the Father first. Additionally, by phrasing it that way, if the person receiving the greeting rejects the Son and the Father, I have not then spoken in a way that wishes blessings on to a person who I would then be tied in to their evil because it is stated in a way that leaves it all up to the Father's will. It greets in blessing for those who will receive it fully, but leaves an out for those who would not receive it and by the Father's will then they would not receive it. May the Heavenly Father bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ if it be the Father's will.

[@fins59]

You're right, it's better to use the original plastic to make the bond as you know it will join in unholy matrimony with the base material. Don't worry about the god botherers who think they have superior knowledge, they don't.

[@Itsallsotiresome]

@@fins59 lol says the person who can't even perceive that I made more than one point in the comment and acknowledged the point made by ryoko.

Я уже сколько лет, когда сталкиваюсь с такого рода проблемами, впаиваю паяльником мелкую металлическую сетку, а потом прохожу строительным феном с насадкой под пластиковый стержень и заливаю им с обратной стороны. Стержень - это нарезка от канализационных пластиковых труб, или дешёвых одежных вешалок, но их надо тоже различать, есть хрупкий пластик, а есть тот что гнется - это самое то. Ну и все держит железно. С наружи конечно не всегда прям как новый, но нормально.

[@Serega-Pitersky]

Но это тот пластик который паяется, а есть с которыми так не сделаешь, зачем срезать внутри если не чего не видно

It won't hold...the two plastics are different types and will not bond together. At least not for long. However you can go to harborfreight and buy plastic welding rod and use your iron to melt it in like it should be done.

[@Goodwill_AD]

Funny video 😂Thanks for improving my mood. I haven't seen such nonsense for a long time

[@pinballrick6031]

Even though it appeared to take a lot of strength to shove those ties through the gun, I was with you until you turned it over and all the cracks were clearly visible. Perhaps a higher wattage gun would melt the plastic to a runnier consistency allowing it to flow into the cracks - but then you sealed it up with that soldering iron so no. Or instead of the gun maybe just light a cable tie on fire and let the dripping plastic fall into the repair. Putting aside the fact that after all this work this will clearly crack again in the same spot, it's a poor repair when you can see it so plainly.

[@pintail120]

I have seen an option for glue gun that runs extra high heat, that might be more effective

The problem with using zip ties to repair a bumper is thar it is a different type of plastic to what the bumper is and will probably not stick properly, it may seem as though it did but may just split. If you want to weld your bumper better off using the same type of plastic.

[@LoremIpsum1970]

No embedded stitch wire or metal mesh reinforcement??? That wasn't a through thickness 'weld' Are you sure...give it kick and tell me how it holds up 👍

[@Itsallsotiresome]

Man, you people.

Always trying to boost yourselves up without even acknowledging the abilities of others or even saying thanks for the video. Self-entitled "ask siri or alexa" generation spoiled brats.

[@fins59]

You're right, the repair is weaker than the original plastic, it needs reinforcement inside.

[@Itsallsotiresome]

@@fins59 Of course it's weaker than the original thing. That's not the point. The point is to repair the breaks and the video example shows and does just that. You seem to be just reacting to the comment in a polarized way simply because of my religious position that you already observed and took issue with while making a fool out of yourself and making a passive aggressive attack like a coward while not even reading what I actually said. lol it's very childish.

I like the glue gun idea, at this stage I’d say build a printer pen maybe a casting system to form specialty consumables from zip ties or recycled plastic. It could make useable pieces out of scrap and filings from other repairs. Maybe just an old crock pot? I’ve got two just waiting for a use LOL I’ve seen so many of these videos but the ideas still come it’s a lot of fun. People are freaking amazing!
