In today's DIY video, I show you a simple plastic soldering method and ways to repair and fix broken plastic using a soldering iron and steel wool to solder the plastic. With this method of plastic welding, it is much more effective and durable than repairing using superglue and baking soda, and it does not require a special tool.
I hope you like this video on how to fix broken or cracked plastic items or tools at home or in the workshop.

Great Idea! One note, you should try to match plastic types. The second thing had a label that said PP (polypropylene), most zipties are not PP. most plastic things will have the recycling label somewhere, just try to match plastic types for a more durable repair

I’ve done plastic welding with my soldering iron and used zip ties before, but rather than making a new tip out of microbore copper pipe I just turned the existing soldering iron tip round and filed the opposite end down to a flat surface. I’ve tried sections of paper clip across the joint to strengthen it, but never thought of using wire wool - genius idea

I can recall trying to melt cracked edges back together with a soldering gun, etc. Never really a success, it would still crack again that way. The idea of adding more plastic and metal strands of some kind looks like the fix, I never thought of that. The fallback was something like using epoxy but then that does not always adhere well under stress so the welding method is superior.

Żywica będzie dobrym łącznikiem o ile zostanie użyta do sporządzenia laminatu. Pękniecie, pierwszy przykład z filmu, trzeba otoczyć po lewej i prawej stronie szeregiem nawierconych otworów o średnicy 3mm a powierzchnia pękniętego plastiku powinna być zmatowana papierem ściernym i odtłuszczona. żywicę nakłada się jednostronnie przykrywając ją paskiem maty z włókna szklanego dokładnie przesycając matę żywicą, to samo robimy z drugiej strony tym razem również przesycamy żywicą matę szklaną tym razem dbając o dokładne wypełnienie nawierconych otworów. Dobrze jest gdy żywica zawiera drobno pocięte skrawki włókna szklanego. Po związaniu żywicy można powierzchnię obrobić mechanicznie, czy lakierować uważając by nie uszkodzić pasm maty szklanej.

Adding plastic might be appropriate for thinner materials, but I repaired a cracked tank on my old dirtbike by using the traditional chisel shaped tip to melt a bevel into the material, pushing the excess plastic out forming a line of filler on either side of the bevel. Then heat up and push the filler back into the bevel, forming a fresh, intact, full depth repair with the original material. Good as new after a little sanding with graduated grits until reaching a finish closely matching the rest of the 20 year old tank. :)

A note to everyone: steel wool is flammable. I know it's hard to believe but it is. An open flame will ignite steel wool. Using an hot iron is probably safe. So use with caution and in a way you could put out a fire. Great idea though I would of thought of it, and really like the shielding wire method at the end. Good video

You can repair some broken plastic items by binding the break with string and covering with hot melt glue. Similar repairs can be done with flyscreen and glue (petmesh flyscreen is incredibly strong), or cotton thread and glue, or hootchie cord and glue, etc. safety note: steel wool can give you a nasty cut if you tear it apart with your fingers with great force. Either tear it gently or cut it with a tool.

Superb! For large repairs I use some of that black sanding mesh then iron on plastic of the same type if I can find it. The mesh gets hot enough to melt into the surface without being destroyed itself and it really keys well due to its rough surface. I also use wire wool and cyanoacrylate to build structure. You get some working time to mold shapes but the reaction gets very hot and can combust so always use metal tools to sculpt fillets or fill holes etc.

I think the added bonus with using the steel wool is its ability to transfer the heat better. Just like the elementary school science class when you take the same wool and spread across the battery posts…INSTANT heat! And using stainless steel wool would reduce the possibility of rust getting in and weakening the weld!👍
@adamyoung8289
@adamyoung8289 11 месяцев назад
Bro, that's not how ANY of this works. Steel wool gets hot when you connect battery posts because you've made a short circuit with electricity. The heat transfer rate of the steel has nothing to do with that situation, you would get the same heat from any conductive metal. Plastic welds don't care about rust. It's plastic, not steel. You could use any metal wire and get the same, negligible I might add, benefit to these "welds" that are all completely useless functionally. You can't just melt random plastics into each other and expect proper bonding, much like you can't weld random types of steel together and get good results. I know I'm wasting my breath, but for anyone who has no idea how to do this. Don't watch this video for advice.

What the mute isnt telling you is that if you have a polypropylene lid like this and you take a nylon zip tie and try to melt it on there its prob not going to adhere. If it does its prob adhering to the steel wool. You need polypropylene to repair PP. Nylon for nylon ABS for ABS and PVC for PVC. And so on. You can buy multi packs of plastic welding rods on line. Or from ww grainger some harbor freight stores sell them as well. Most household plastics are PP. Check the recycle codes if you arent sure what plastic youre working with.

Not in my country that I know of though you can surely use epoxy and other compounds. This technique looks very interesting!

So does crazy glue, but imo you need to actually melt the parent material to truly bond a crack in plastic. This kinda seems to do it. Don’t you think?

I watch a lot of these kinds of life hack videos and a lot of them are dumb, unrealistic or useless. But this, is actually quite brilliant! Definately useful, love the reinforcxing with steel wool and wire mesh. So much is made with plastics and this kind of thing happens a lot. So we need a strong and reliable way to not just melt it back together (which is rather weak), but a method to make it just as strong or stronger than it was. This is the way. And I love that copper tubing hack for a soldering iron tip, so cheap, custom made for this and works very well.
