Liquid Plastic DIY! I Fixed Broken Plastic Part with a Super Simple Method

In this video, I'll show you a simple and effective method how I fixed a broken plastic refrigerator shelf using materials many of you already have at home.
Liquefying ABS Plastic:
How to prepare a liquid plastic at home?
Break the CD box into small pieces and place them into the small container. 💿➕🥣
Pour acetone over the plastic pieces, just enough to cover them. 🧪
Wait for the plastic to dissolve, stirring occasionally to help the process. This creates a thick, glue-like substance. 🔄
Applying the Liquid Plastic:
Using the applicator, carefully apply the liquid ABS plastic to the broken edge of the broken plastic item. 🖌️
Allow the repair to dry and cure completely.
Be cautious when working with acetone as it is a strong solvent! Ensure good ventilation and avoid direct skin contact! ⚠️
Testing the Repair:
Once dried, reattach the shelf to the refrigerator door. 🚪🧊
Gently test the stability of the repair to make sure it can hold the weight of items. ✔️
By following these simple steps, you can save money and extend the life of your refrigerator shelf. No need to buy a new one when you can fix it yourself with ABS plastic and acetone!

[@YouCanTelevision]

Дело в том, что эти пластики разного типа и как только растворяемый пластик высыхает и затвердевает, он сразу же отстает от пластика, из которого сделан шприц

В советские времена делали такой кллей, брали шарики от пинпонга или неволяшки. Но недавно у меня кончились запасы ацетона и я купил того де производителя, дзержинский, но он даже пористый полистирол не размягчает, только краску разбавляет. А еще хорошо клеит дихлоритан.

[@YouCanTelevision]

Возможно, концентрация вашего нового ацетона не 100%

С этим пластиком в холодильнике не прокатит . Лопнет под нагрузкой . Он не плавкий .обычный Клей отлетает при холоде с этого пластика . Тут только делать отдельный подкаркас (допустим из акрила/жести итд ) и в него вставлять поломанную сторону полки .. В ролике тоже показан странный вариант работ .как-то легко обрабатывает ...сомнения в надёжности . Лично ( в морозилке )скрепил подобное армо скотчем ..уже как полгода .. но думаю попробовать жидким пенопластом залить .( Также до сопель растворить в ацетоне ) Но все ровно желательно перфорировать стенку . Чтоб новый компонент соединился . затикая в перфорацию. со старым .

Ciao! Non vedo che tipo di plastica hai nel frigorifero. Pertanto, è difficile per me consigliarti qualcosa. Non tutti i tipi di plastica possono essere sciolti con l'acetone. Nel tuo caso, devi sperimentare nella speranza di ottenere il risultato giusto oppure devi contattare uno specialista

Would the platic become more liquidy using more acetone or leaving it in the jar longer?

[@YouCanTelevision]

No, the plastic accepts just enough acetone to become soft. All acetone that is not absorbed remains on top

what kind of acetone is that? all i know is polish remover..

[@user-zs3ei7hr6g]

any reply..or recommend?

[@YouCanTelevision]

Nail polish remover is based on acetone, but it does not have 100% concentration. It's not possible to liquefy ABS plastic with it. Acetone with 100% concentration can be bought at construction materials store, in a department where solvents are sold

Aceton jest za słaby, nie rozpuszcza tego tworzywa i nie tworzy mocnej spoiny. Może dodatek nitro trochę poprawiłby? Idealny byłby dodatek lub sam TRI, ale jest niedostępny.

The idea is completely non-working. 10:40 Poorly frozen plastic walks like jelly. And all you had to do was take epoxy resin, or at least Cyanoacrylate Glue.

[@YouCanTelevision]

the idea really works. The shelf is on its place and after 1 month functions well. the plastic had not been hardened for 100% as I did not want to wait more time and I also needed softer plastic to cut out the unneeded parts. Now the plastic has hardened well and the shelf is fixed as planned. Good luck!
