I've watched a few plastic welding videos, it seems they'd suggest not using a temp too high, lining the piece up, doing a few quick spot welds to hold it in place. Next you would press the solder in gently from one end, move a little bit and press again, do this along the entire joint on both sides. This will leave it messy, you can then add additional plastic to strengthen it, and then smooth it out with the soldering iron.
I haven't tried it myself, I'm just going to try it this weekend after watching a few videos.
you want to add some steel mesh too or it will jsut break again
Thank You, exactly what I needed for my how to. I'm about to do something similar with plastic and only got a Soldering Iron not a plastic one. Thank You.
So if like to add a few things as ive done this quite a few times with mixed results. First , there are many, many different plastics and not all of them will mix well. I think the cable ties are a aafe bet. However one thing i ran into is when you are welding, if you do it i layers, you have ro make sure each layer you ad sticks to the previous one. Also, your items must be 100% clean. You should completely wash your items with Dawn and hot water so thay any oils and dirt are gone. Wash your hands and clean your soldering iron. One thing i tried that worked well was to use gorilla glue brand glue sticks as the "solder" or welding medium. As long as it all melts together the bond is strong.
Is that any different than using gorilla brand hot glue?
@@RussMeister70 same thing.
Thank you. This has been helpful.
Worked quite well for me thanks
Hi great video,do you need to chamfer the edges to be welded ? to allow for full penetration as you would if welding a steel pipe.
What temperature do you set the soldering iron on?
That looks like a glue, if you aren't melting the original plastic. How strong does this hold? I find 2-part epoxy works pretty good for gluing stuff like this, but a high stress mounting point like that might need screws or bolts, or actually melting the plastics together to be really secure.
I used a torch zip ties and a screw driver heating it up
Thank you, trying this out on a grille
did the vapor smell like burnt Horn

Are the fumes toxic?
I wouldn't advise breathing them in make sure to have a mask and good ventilation in the location
Burnt plastic is toxic
Yes, they are toxic! Do it outside with a good fan on you. You do not want to breathe that shit. It will stink up your house too.
I was thinking I would do it outside.
Just use eproxy.
Wear a painting respirator - you don't want to breathe in the plastic fumes.
...is this fecking soldering iron RED HOT, or am I seeing things🤣🤣🤣
That's how I roll pure heat
Thank you! By the way, the 'L' in solder is silent ('sodder', properly said). But you do pronounce weld with the 'L'.
Not in British English. US English is only one variation of the language - not the standard.
