But, remember, kids, plastic is highly toxic! Make sure the area you are working in is well ventilated. 😊
THANK YOU. I was watching the fumes thinking about how well metal welding is supposed to be ventilated with the same concerns.
Depends on the plastic
I notice you use a liver (metal?) tape on the underside. Is that necessary or could you use other tapes?
Me breathing solder and plastic fumes😊
Don't threaten me with a good time.
Inventor 101 I like your Channel 🎉
I can smell this video 😂
Smell that cancer 💀
Interesting tip's to remember, also remember your gas mask as well. 😷
Too late... RIP
So smart!
Great idea. &Simple . We can always do this
Thanks. Repaired my chain guard instead of buying a new one. Saved €25 but more importantly: No unnecessary use of raw materials and also a satisfied feeling of being able to repair stuff!
Oh my god, an actually useful life hack!
Same technique on how to repair plastic panels of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other vehicles.
Yet another GREAT video, that's why I have been subscribed for a long time, absolutely great. Keep up the good work NO Idea's
This is so freaking smart idea! Loved it.
People have been fixing plastics this way for years. Nothing new.
I guess nylon zip ties are compatible with every type of plastic!🤣
Plastic welding, very creative idea
Great job 😅 I have a question: I have a Chair made in polypropylene (PP) and it’s broken in a structural part. How is the best method to repair and fix it? Thanks and have a happy new year 🎉 Umberto from Rome.
Omg, I could have used this a lot.
Freaking gaming headsets snap way to easy.
I've been through atleast 30 of them, at a minimum of $80 each, some have cost $200.
All I had to do is buy a soldering iron.
So going to buy a soldering iron now.
Did you buy it?
Lol,broke a pair of headphones the other day myself,that's how I ended up here&was looking in the comments for what the tool is called. TY!
Do you have a very large head? 😂 Or do you flex them too much when taking them on or off? Sincere question, but it's also a bit funny 😊
@@MathiasDahl don't k ow, I think I have a normal sized head.
But Fr, they are made off weak plastic & snap real easy.
@@Future_Legend_Told_Me yup, surprisingly cheap, was expecting like $50, but only $25.
Outstanding!!
Music was grabbed right out of the royalty free bin at YT.
Super genial gracias por tu excelente enseñanza
Good ideas
Some useful tips, good work.
I bet your filming studio smells delightful 🤣
FANTASTIC IDEAS
wow great ideas!
I have a plastic Lifetime picnic table that has holes in it. My problem is I cannot get to the underside and have to try to make the surface look good. Can’t find a video on that anywhere. Perhaps it cannot be done to make it look relatively nice and smooth? I plan on painting it if I can figure out how to repair it.🤔
For when you can't get JB Weld.
Jb welds ass
Or it's an example for bigger projects.
@@Alibabablah==rrrrr=rrrrrrrrrrr
JB weld really that good? I've tried crazy glue but never seems to hold two pieces of plastic together at the cracked joint
You need a soldering iron that puts out a lot of heat to make this work!
Fantastic!!!
Hello, can I contact you? Thank you very much
What about if you can only get to one side of the object? Looking to repair a plastic boat that I don't want to take apart.
Then just do the repair on the outside instead, but don't expect it to look as nice.
Try using a little extra plastic so the repair is slightly higher than the surrounding area. Then use a hot Teflon coated knife to smooth it out, the Teflon leaves a high gloss finish.
Awesome, thank you for sharing. It's a amazing plan
What temperature do you set the soldering iron on?
Temp is, on.
Cool
What type of tape is that that you are using? It doesn't look like just duct tape...
Aluminum tape
It's commonly used for HVAC. Comes in handy for any number of things and if you clean the surfaces first it can last for years.
Your awesome
You're illiterate.
What kind of solder gun are you using
Where can I get one
Off Amazon. I have the same exact one.
Yes, off Amazon but what is it?
@juliawilliams600 they're virtually all the same.
Will that work for plastic gasoline can?
I'd make sure it's empty first.....
@@Silverbullet767 and dry! let it air out for a day or so
You didnt need to make spring shape , just use a length of wire
. 0:58
Nah, he did it correctly.
Would it be as cool to watch tho
@@irunAMOK- I don't understand. Can you explain? What's the point of using that curly metal wire if you're just going to melt the plastic over it to make it solid again?
@lilly Anne Santos strength.
Straight wire wouldn't help very much. He did it smartly.
Like your videos but damn, ain't nobody gonna do the things your doing...
I will now
Lots of ventilation people when doing this!!!!!!!!! Lots!!!!!!!!!
could somebody tell me what silver tape is?
its just aluminum foil tape
epoxy too
SUPER
There's a video of a guy repairing a car bumper that way
Hi where can i find and buy that welding? I've been seeing that in other videos for making holes for the plants DIY container.
Thank You for the Reply.
That's a soldering iron.
единственное замечание, что вид пластика присадочного материала должен совпадать с пластиком основной детали. пластиковая стяжка из нейлона, а корпус из полипропилена 100%
I think your soldering iron is a bit hot. That causes the plastic to degrade due to excessive heat and the result is a brittle weld.
This process is unbearably long and all you have to do is just take a blowtorch to it and just hover over the broken plastic lightly and then hold the two pieces together and it'll weld together
It's called plastic welding
You just wont be able to take any of it on planes
I can smell it from here
It s kit set tools where can we buy them?
احبك
The fumes on this...
Can someone link to the small mesh and tape he is using ?
look for wire mesh filters..
thats the very fine stuff there is all sizes to choose from hope it help you.
@@woody1766 thankyou very much though it wont be easy to find anything in india but thanks bro it will surely help
@@ydiadi_ hope you find what you are after 👍🏻
@@woody1766 thanks brother though i search and same kind of stuff is hard to find online
❤
Ptlj❤
Polystyrene (styrofoam) + actone = done. 🤷♂️
So toxic 😰 why did this …unnecessary at all. Plastic is something invented for disposable 🤣
The best way to fix a broken piece of plastic is to buy a brand new piece of plastic and discard the broken one.
Repairs plastic
Dies of lung cancer
I like the garbage strength test the person doing the repair did, Barely flexing it and tapping it with a screwdriver. ANYTHING will pass those tests. And what are you going to do with any other type of plastic? Zip ties aren't going to cut it because they won't stick.
Cheez way mein unki aukat dikhane ki baat
Глупость,видео ускорено,пока паяльник нагреет проволоку теплом с ума сойдешь ждать,в нормальных паялиниках проволока нагревается током а не теплом.
I just bought a soldering iron to put holes in plastic plant pots. I saw your video and realized I have a new cracked toolbox and a few other things I can fix now! I hate throwing stuff away if it can be fixed! Thanks for this!
I have used scrap plastic strips to “weld” broken items before, it works well, but adding the metal wire or staples seems like a great improvement. I’ll definitely try it for repairing glasses, the stems are so small that it’s hard to get enough plastic alone to make a strong repair that also looks good.
commercial repairs guys using metal for ages.
Fumes so tasty mmmmmm
I want them in my lungs 🤤
Ah, using nylon on PVC, ABS, PLA , or other mis matched plastics is always a wise choice and renders a perfect fix. I wish they would stop putting out these types of videos.
It would be helpful to us novices if the materials used were listed. Like what type of tape is that? What did you remove the middle of the wire from? What kind of metal mesh is that? What did you put back in place of the plastic piece that you cut out?
Aluminum flashing tape and I’m pretty sure that’s straight up just a cheap aluminum wire coil from the Walmarts arts and crafts section.
@@evok2691Loose staples work well too
who else was watching this because they were bored 😂
What was that silver tape?
It an aluminum foil duct tape, super sticky on certain stuff, love it. Usually can find it wherever they sell HVAC supplies.
@@lissakaye610 Thanks a lot
Love frome sri lanka
Wait for the part where u cut out the square of plastic,what was that that got put back in it's place? Another pc.of plastic? That mustve been more difficult than it looked(since how u got that part wasn't shown),becuz u wud have to have figured out what type of plastic you're dealing with & then prob.need to find/use more of that same type/grade of plastic, off of something which u can afford to harvest from. Then cut exactly the same size piece out to!?!
Its easier to cut a square rather than a star to weld in place dummy
Perfect 👌
I'm always looking for ways to be more eco-friendly, and your video came at the perfect time. The tips you shared are practical and sustainable. Kudos to you!

looking for good 😀😀😀
"you can't smell videos"...…..this video:...
Thank you for your Super helpful tips....
DO EXCUSE ME I'VE REPAIRS WAITING!!! AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY SOLDERING IRON!!!
🌟🙃🌟🤙🌟🤙🌟🙃🌟
Yay, toxic fumes!
Have some brain , do it in a well aerated area and wear a mask , it ain't rocket science.
Well, it seems that I’ll have to trade in my soldering gun for a soldering iron! It’s cheaper, maybe $12-$15, and can definitely do just as much. I do like the gun though as it has a light to show the joint being soldered and it helps. Still, it’s an ancient Weller, and on its last leg anyway. So thanks for the push in the right direction!
Using "stapler staples" was wonderfully simple. (And cheap)
Amazing 🤩
Me trying this at home: welp, i totally just melted this whole thing trying to fix it.
Great
Excellent vidio thanks for the solution to a problem i had 👍
Great job Inventor101,you're an real genius👍😉👌
Grettings from Argentina👋🇦🇷
What’s that heating tool that you’re using?
Soldering iron
Or a wood-burning tool
If my 3$ glasses break I buy new ones 😁
where are you finding them for $3? Last few I bought were $15 several years ago.
Welding plastic together by using staples as rebar is ingenious!
Great
🇮🇩
Was that an old Jamaican 10 cent coin you used to hold the metal in place on the first repair?
Brilliant mate! I've got all the inspiration and confidence required to repair my stuff. Thank you! 🙏
Awesome
What kind of tape is that that he uses? (The shiny silver tape)
This actually what the car industry uses, I use to work for a welding parts wear house and we sold the kits with various sizes of the metal pieces.
What should I Google and buy?
@@brianestrada2057 soldering iron
I can smell this video from across the house.
i have a plastic frame slider on my Yamaha that cracks every time i drop the bike. and it's $80 to replace. i've dropped my bike about 3 times now and it cracked so much it was no longer doing its purpose, so i took it off, and it costs $80 to replace. i might melt some metal wiring into it and paint it black, to give it a bit more rigidity when i lay the bike down
Love breathing in toxic plastic fumes
I wanted to repair a plastic Part of my RC Car but maybe i should strength more parts by implementing Metal Like in concrete structions
I feel like the areas you've fixed are stronger than the rest of the item!
what brand of yours soldering iron?
