How to weld plastic at home with a paperclip staple or stainless steel metal mesh.
Place the paperclip on the area where the plastic is cracked or broken.
Using a soldering iron, heat-up the paperclip until the paperclip begins to sink into the melted plastic.
Continue until the paperclip is completely embedded in the plastic part.
If needed, use a small piece of the same type of plastic from some other part to fill-up the area around the broken plastic to provide a bit more reinforcement.
This part is from our washing machine and it fixed the washing machine.
Some home appliances have plastic parts that are difficult to replace and in this case there was no part number or any way to find a replacement.
Welding plastic can save you a lot of money b fixing your devices or appliances instead of throwing them away and replacing them.
You are also more eco-friendly this way by reducing e-waste since you use a device or appliance longer.
Try plastic welding and you'll see it's pretty easy to do.
The best part about welding plastics is that once the temperature of the part goes down to room temperature, the plastic part is fixed and ready to use.
Glue can also fix many plastic parts but might not be as strong as plastic welding and it takes a long time usually until fully cured. Even 24 hours in case Epoxy glue is used.

You can fill ABS parts with some scrap pieces of ABS disolved with acetone, adding the acetone until you get the ABS to a paste consistency and use it like putty. This is what we use to glue and fill ABS 3D printed parts.
In caso di polipropilene pp? Grazie
Thanks for the info. There is not that many videos on welding small plastic pieces.
Thank You! I was able to repair a snowblower part/cover that is no long avaliable. It's not pretty, but it will work just fine!!
Для прочности залей сверху супер-клеем (много чтобы аж лужица клея образовалась) и сразу обильно присыпь обычной пищевой содой. Можно солью, но содой лучше. Сода вступает в реакцию с суперклеем и клей мгновенно застывает превращаясь в супертвердю прочную субстанцию. Как камень. Намного прочнее обычноо клея. Остатки соды встряхни с детали. При желании можно прошлифовать.
That's a good start, but a much stronger joint is achieved by making small rings with the paper clip, not only they are easier to heat up, but also there are more points where the plastic melts along the seam, also fusing the plastic in more spots.
I saw a small spring cut into rings and I saw stranded wire cut into short lengths laid across the break.
Or, size the paperclip to fit the repair, holding with pliers heat the paperclip with a propane torch and place on the repair. Done.
What me was thinking.
Or you can use hot air gun also
That paper clip idea is brilliant..Maybe I don't need to get one of those plastic soldering guns w/all those types of staples & black plastic rods now that I see how to use my regular soldering iron kit for the repairs like this.
So helpful and I like tge warning about toxic fumes. I will try this method on a scooter panel although the metal will probably rust, I'll at least try to protect it from moisture.
few tips:
1. use ca glue to temporarily hold the plastic so it doesn't move and its more clean
2. change your soldering tip into a bolt that have a flat head (like a 10mm bolt) so that you can easily put the paper clip in the plastic
1::55 We used to make those hook like arrows for slingshot projectiles when we were kids. Usually we made them from insulated wires or nails. They could inflict some nasty wounds.
I fused #2 plastic with #5. I'll put a video up in a month. Seems really strong!
Inspiring good idea. 👍
Unfortunately the reinforcement is just on one side. And the soldering on the other side seemed to be a bit too weak, as you just Applied it for keeping it briefly in place.
I would have added some glue on the breakage surfaces, too or heated them with a heat gun and pressed them together.
I’d have placed reinforcement on the other side, too, as you make it sink into the plastic anyway so that it doesn’t stand in the way.
An ingenious idea and a very interesting method of repairing broken items. 👏👏
Thanks for watching!
Watch for Plastic Welding 2: Judgment Day, in theaters this summer!
Thanks so much for the informative,& helpful video. I think u have saved me & prob a few
other ppl.some $$..
Nice video!
Wouldn't gluing the parts together, than tack welding then the paper clip make it even stronger ?
If by glue you mean melting the plastic by applying tack welds yes that's a great option and I actually have a video recorded last month but didn't upload it yet.
I will get it uploaded soon.
Good job mate cheers Graham
Very good your technique
Very well explained
PP I use gorilla hot glue. I had to make a longer and thinner walled nossil for hot glue to get hot enough to push glue in to deeper recesses. A good headlamp is useful a hands free magnifiying tool works well sometimes when you need a 2nd hand. Remenber to rough up and clean the surface before trying to plastic weld anything. Alcohol softens PP a hot glue. PP is gas and oil resistant.
So how is that piece going to fit in something now with the paperclip on it .......
The paperclip is inside the plastic part. The shape outside is the same ideally or almost the same if you're not able to put it back the same way.
It's all in the video.
Thank you
Nice . Good comments.
Try crazy glue with baking soda, plus the metal wire
I like to add that after you are. Put some baking soda on it and pour in a few drops of super glue. The superglue bonds very well will baking soda and it fills in the gaps..
Super glue and baking soda
Couldn't see it, too dark.
Try this one ua-cam.com/video/zUWXyZlmUSc/v-deo.html
Yeah
Why didn't you just super glue it
Super glue wouldn't last in that part. There is a lot of tension on that when you open the door.
No glue is easier for that piece...
Glue might be easier but plastic welding can be stronger
Take one fevi quick and few pinch of cement.... Job done
For anyone thinking to use a bolt and superglue to hold the parts together, please watch and don't skip the video important parts.
A thicker tip would work better and faster but it's easier to overhead the plastic.
The glue tip, please don't do that. Superglue and plastic welding is not good together - smell of fumes.
Few small welds with the soldering iron will work just fine.
If you use a normal tip you don't need to use anything else to hold the parts togeter.
If you have it at a low angle, it works fine moving it around to make the weld surface even.
All this info is in the video, please do not skip parts of the video and watch the whole info there.
8 mins. Could be 1 min
It's the cryptic voice that really does it.
Just order a new piece. That probably cost about $10 brand new!
I couldn't find it for this washer. That is really the best way but hopefully regulation will force manufacturers to make parts available more easily.
This washer is 10+ years old.
In mist cases you can't order a piece like that separately. Their made cheaply so you just by a new one throw the other away.
Este es el video mas inmoral que he visto.
Es vergonzoso como pierde tiempo y dilata el trabajo para alargar el video. Me siento como si intentaras robando 9 minutos de mi vida.
Denunciado.
Super glue?
This is much stronger than glue and especially super glue even if you mix it with baking soda.
With plastic welding the result is also instant. No need to wait for glue to dry.
I like to add that after you are. Put some baking soda on it and pour in a few drops of super glue. The superglue bonds very well will baking soda and it fills in the gaps..
Is there a video that demonstrates this?
@@_wormlet yeah search baking soda and duper glue. I have seen people use others like wood shaving and even cotton. Personally I used baking soda. There's even a technique where you wrap dental floss around a broken plastic rod and drip superglue on it to form a strong bond. Problem is that it's hard but brittle so won't work for all applications.
@@_wormlet millions , once it's looked up it will appear constantly.
@@GraniteInTheFaceAdam Savage, the red haired guy from Mythbusters, has a video where he uses baking soda and super glue, about a year or so ago.
