How to Fuse Plastic Sheets Together

  • I show how to use a soldering iron to fuse plastic together. This can be used to seal bags, make them to the specific size of the object inside and create an airtight seal.

    You can make airtight bags for things like pills, snacks, or things that need to be stored. This can also be used for camping, backpacking, hiking, shipping goods, and many other applications. It is pretty simple to set up and only takes a few seconds to fuse the plastic together. It will probably take a bit of trial and error to get the exact speed right as soldering irons may heat up to different temperatures and plastics may be thicker or thinner. So there are too many different variables to give exact instructions. My soldering has an adjustable heat so I would set the heat on high so I could fuse the plastic together quicker.

    I’m impressed, I have to say. Actually hardly ever do I encounter a videos that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you might have hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the problem is something that not enough individuals are talking intelligently about. I am very completely happy that I stumbled throughout this in my seek for one thing regarding this.

    awesome; I bought a soldering iron 3 yrs ago and never used it yet. Was going to buy the fuse it tool till I heard of you. Thanks so much for this video

    I use a soldering gun with a piece of #12 bare house wire for the tip and it works very well because of the smooth wire.

    I don't have a soldering iron but this gave me the idea to try using the end of my hot glue gun with no glue in it. Not 100% smooth but it did a pretty good job sealing the plastic. Thanks for the inspiration.

    A much more complicated way than we used to do it back in the day with just a bic lighter and a book or a couple pieces of a cereal box.

    Have you tried using a clothes iron? Almost every household will have one. The seam would need to be made over an edge I think.

  • @willwen6600

    Use a candle flame and move the plastic slowly across it.

    So if you were making the bag smaller why not poke a small hole in what's getting cut off to let the air out first.

    • @pheenix42
      @pheenix42 7 років тому +1

      There just might be a wheel somewhere...I worked for a place that made soldering irons, and we had a tiny flat iron shape for just this type of task.

  • @elgatomamador7567

    Plastic sheets come in a variety of thicknesses. Where would someone find the plastic you used? The plastic looks about the same thickness as a sandwich bag.

  • @dharmeshsolanki4354
    @dharmeshsolanki4354 6 років тому +8

    you don't need to do anything like this just find a metal or glass surface put your bag on that that and just drag your soldering iron like a pen or a cutter and it will seal that bag 👍👍

  • @bulukhuman7498

    no need to over complicate it by using paper and tapes, you just need an iron ruler and a solder.

    • @jordanparrott
      @jordanparrott 5 років тому

      I was kinda wondering why he didn't just tape the paper to the under side of the ruler with some hanging over...

  • @Nydents

    What is the point of the paper and tape? Can't you just use the wood and metal sheet?

    Use a flat iron to create a seal if you don’t have the proper equipment on hand.

    I have an extra flat iron for hair straightening. You think 400°F will do the trick? =) I'm going to try this out and see if I can speed up the process a bit.

    just pinch plastic between two pieces of anything straight and flat and run a bic lighter flame along the edge.

    Use a piece of 'metal'. Great..what you got there...steel...aluminum...aluminum coated copper?

    • @Bialy_1
      @Bialy_1 5 років тому +1

      All mentioned by you metals are not meltable by soldering iron... from all metals you mentioned steel is the crapiest heat conductor so its most likely the best for this task(and it looks to me that he is using some steel element with some anty oxydation protection on it, looks like steel used in old good quality computer case).

    Does this work on the aluminium foil bags? those used for wine?

    • @matthewguilbert6774
      @matthewguilbert6774 7 років тому

      Probably not paper bags like wine bags, it might burn it or just set it on fire

  • @manp1039
    @manp1039 4 роки тому

    interesting technique.. I am wondering if it would work better if you used wax paper.. I have seen some other videos of people using wax paper because it does not stick to the plastic and it can withstand hot temps.

  • @tiborsua

    I wouldn't use it for food. Who knows what gases are set free to soak the content when the plastic is heated up...

      Better still use cellophane, it has a much higher melt point than polythene and released cleaner.

  • @coldh4nd

    Or just buy a tool made for the job if you don’t have hours and hours of spare time to seal plastics bags around stuff. They’re cheaper then you think.
