Don't threaten me with a good time.

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.

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.

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!

I’m wondering if you had to take into account the type of plastic you were repairing? Zip ties are usually nylon and I was surprised when you melted them into a plastic! I am trying to repair a gray water RV tank and it is made of polyethylene. I assume HDPE. Any thoughts?

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.

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.

Probably a standard heat resistant one. Im assuming its just for added strength while being pushed on the other side.

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

How many watts are yo😢ur soldering needles?? And also shouldn't the same plastic be used to weld onto simlar plastics?
