Rather than use Acetone to convert the plastic blocks back into a liquid, you should heat them up instead. A good place to start is around 325°F but it may be necessary to experiment to find out what works. Not all plastics melt at the same temp and you don't want to burn your plastic so start at a lower temp. Anyway, the blocks will revert back into a liquid but you won't foul up the plastic with the Acetone. With a heated melt, you also usually don't have to be concerned with bubbles either which is good. The smart play when repurposing the plastic into something like a handle for tools is to make a permanent mould that either fits together with the tool during the heat process or make a general mould to convert the plastic to square or round stock that can subsequently be shaped into a handle after the plastic rehardens. One of the best plastics to use for a handle is the caps from soda bottles. That grade of plastic is durable yet not brittle which means it doesn't like to crack or break because it has a little bit of flex to it. As for using the plastic caps, you don't necessarily need to cut them into smaller pieces but you might find it's better to do so if you have a small mould. Some folks cut them up with heavy shears or sharp wire cutters but attaining a spare kitchen blender can work as well if the blades are sharp. The key to success is making sure that the mould becomes 100% full during the melt and one of the best ways to do that is to heat the moulds in a vertical position so the plastic flows downward thus filling them. Some sources for sacrificial moulds to make bar stock are tin cans, glass bottles or even aluminum foil. After your repurposed plastic hardens, tin cans can be cut off, glass can be broken off and aluminum foil can be peeled off. The great thing about aluminum foil is that it's cheap and can easily be formed into a wide variety of shapes. With foil, you're only limited by the ability of the foil to retain the shape you form it into when you remelt the plastic... make too big of a foil mould without support and the foil mould may fail so keep that in mind. Ways to support a foil mould is to: - Use aluminum tape on the outside of the foil. - Use chicken wire for support on the outside or any other metallic mesh that will take the heat. - Manufacture a metal box large enough to hold the foil mould... and install the aluminum foil mould into Plaster of Paris and cure it before using the mould for a plastic melt. - Manufacture a metal box large enough to hold the foil mould... but install sand into the box surrounding the foil instead of PoP. As for the PoP, make a thicker mix and have someone slowly pour it into the sandbox while you slowly pour sand into the inside of the foil mould. The sand will act as a backer for the foil thus holding it in place as the PoP cures. Once cured, dump out the sand and load the mould with your plastic for heating. Note that using a sandbox can be tricky as the sand or PoP also may collapse the foil mould even after it's loaded... foil is thin and it likes to deform even if you don't want it to. You can combat unwanted deformation by using many layers of foil, however, if the mould is too big, the foil will still fail to hold the shape you desire which means it'll still require backing of some kind. Instead of PoP or sand, some folks have found success with casting sands (foundry), clay or heavy mud too but remember what you put into an oven may make fumes... fumes that you don't want to breathe or have smell up your house or shop. When using PoP, clay, mud or anything else that contains water then the smart thing to do is to let it dry out and cure before making a melt. You'll avoid fumes as well as steam which is a definite no-no... steam will cause mould deformation! At the end of the day, I've found the best permanent moulds are made from metals and are of the 2-piece design although multi-piece moulds above two parts can be made to suit your needs.

Hello Max! Thanks a lot for such a detailed instruction! I thought about your methods - this could work, but I doubt about the way to pour the liquid plastic into the mould. If you will work with the heated plastic - pouring it would be a difficult task. You would need to have a kind of self-heating syringe or something like that - otherwise, the heated plastic would not be able to pour to the mould. I think so...

@@YouCanTelevision I was going to tease you and say that you're not thinking outside the box... but then I realized that I assumed you would follow along with my thoughts and come to the same conclusion I would when it came to using the plastic. Question: do you pour molten plastic into the mould...? Or do something else to get the plastic in? OK, I'll come right out and say it - you load the plastic bits into the mould before you heat the mould. You end up with a mould that is mostly full once melted... if not completely full depending on your design. On a permanent mould that is NOT built for an injection machine there is always a small opening somewhere on the mould which allows three things: 1. You get to see how full the mould is. 2. It allows air to escape the mould. 3. It provides a location for adding more plastic, even if the opening is small. Remember, the permanent mould you're making for home use will be very similar to but not be 100% exacting to one made for an injection moulding machine. In injection moulding, the opening used to inject the plastic may be small but it is always under pressure. The plastic is molten outside the mould. The moulds themselves always have a few small holes in them which allows air to escape. The casting "flash" that remains once the item cools is removed after the fact. For an unpressurized mould, such as what you'd make for home use, it doesn't need to have any holes in it to relieve air pockets thus ensuring total fill - you just need one hole at the top for adding in extra material. For home use, your permanent mould is never under pressure and molten plastic is not injected into it. You pre-load the mould and add in only what is needed to make a complete fill and you do it during the heat. To ensure a 100% fill, you simply push in more solid plastic bits to make up the difference and give them time to melt. On a fully open mould, you just dump in as much as you need which is easy... such as if you're making bar stock. With all that said, I will note that some folks do make a permanent mould with additional small holes drilled in them and they do so because they will still use a piston to put pressure on the plastic to ensure that the plastic is pushed into all the parts of the mould. If you design your permanent mould correctly, it's easy to place it in a press to apply pressure but that's a personal preference and it usually boils down to your level of success. Some folks are more successful using one technique over another - just figure out what works for you and go with it. The relief holes? They are typically about .030 to .050 in diameter. Again, figure out what works for you. Here's my best advice after writing another chapter: conduct a few experiments when it comes to slicing, dicing or shredding your plastic before attempting to make more complex permanent moulds. The finer the bits or fluff you make, the easier it is to pack a mould prior to heating and the less topping off you'll have to do during a melt once you're red hot and rolling. The bonus is that you'll be far less likely to experience the problem of having air pockets. Also, make a couple of less complex permanent moulds before moving on to more complex moulds. The idea is that you'll gain real working experience and see how things actually turn out. You'll get to see what works and what doesn't as well as how messy melted plastic can be. IMHO, the best thing to always do is to never handle molten plastic - always keep it inside a mould. You eliminate so many problems that way... such as air pockets or incomplete castings. Best wishes and happy casting! - Max Giganteum

​@@YouCanTelevisionAlthough I commend him on his step by step detailed instructions, I am sorry to say I COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH MAX! This is supposed to be a DIY and it sounds as though he thinks people should spend the time and money to erect an in-home plastics factory! EVEN the first "non-commercial" suggestions he had although sounding very interesting, are problematic! I have a lot of hit and miss DIY experience melting plastics to create and/or repair and the one thing that is always true is that anything heated will cool! Therefore, When the plastics are melted with heat you run the risk of it beginning to cool and becoming unworkable too soon. I have done the heat method and had the problem with racing the clock, and if you try to remelt it, each time you do so weakens the integrity of the plastic! I am going to try your acetone method for that reason, I assume that the plastic hardens as the acetone evaporates? In which case there is more time to work it before it hardens? I am however, curious if after the handles had been sanded and the air pockets exposed, could you have added more acetone to the sanded plastic powder to create a smoothable "paint" like consistency top coat and recoated the imperfections on the handles? It would be only AFTER applying this smooth coat that I may consider applying light heat with a heat gun to get a final smooth finish.

Ну результат-то так себе, если посчитать стоимость шприцов и ацетона (может оказаться что и дешевле купить промышленно исполненные ручки), можно было бы отформовать ручки и поэстетичнее из чего-то другого самоотвердевающегося, или отлить из той же эпоксидной смолы в которую добавить можно всего что душа желает, в качестве наполнителя. Ручки получились пористые, мелкие, не ровной формы. И обрабатывать их пришлось, шкурить-шлифовать...Как наполнитель для прозрачного материала интересен, а так возможно хрупок из-за пористости... Можно слепок сделать герметиком или силиконом из любой удобной рукоятки и залить любой из отвердевающих материалов. Годится эксперимент, если остатки детского конструктора надоели под ногами и его срочно нужно извести...мешать надо тщательнее, тогда пузырей не будет и дать после размешивания выйти воздуху...Цвета классные, их можно смешивать и формовать скульптуры или декоративные вещи...Жаль, у меня не завалялось детских игрушек...Если пластик, такой пузырчатый и пористый мы в мастерской музея примешиваем карбонат калия после первой пробной отливки..., он тогда плотный становится, не рыхлый, не пористый...Идея повторного использования, творческое применение современных материалов и ваши эксперименты с ними , заслуживают бесспорно уважения.

Hello and thank you for your commenting. The hardness of the plastic may not be so hard as it is in the initial Lego bricks, as mixing them with acetone causes some bubbles. But still the hardened plastic may be practically used after such liquefying. It my take some time to cure, a lot depends on the much depends on the degree of viscosity of the liquefied plastic and the size of the open surface for the evaporation of acetone. Sometimes it is 2-3 days, sometimes 1-2 weeks, there is no exact timing at all

Also wonder if some catalyst can be added with the acetone to accelerate the hardening so contact with air be unnecessary.

Yes, acetone dissolves plastic! - And for the same reason it will also dissolve the syringes in a not very long time. So don't think you can store the dissolved plastic in the syringes for very long. - Also, in case you intend to pour the plastic into molds, you have to take into acount that as the acetone evaporates there will be some shrinkage due to the lost volume of the acetone.

Ja, vielleicht haben Sie recht, aus praktischer Sicht ist diese Methode nicht sehr effektiv. Ich möchte hier zeigen, dass man unnötige Dinge mit neuer Bedeutung verwenden kann. Ich bin sicher, dass das Erlernen dieser Methode für viele sehr nützlich sein wird. Mit dieser Methode können Sie Gegenstände reparieren, die für Sie wertvoller sind. Viel Erfolg!

Excelente idea! Muchas gracias por compartir tus conocimientos. Pulgares arriba y me suscribo a tu canal. Una pregunta, en México ¡dónde o quién vende acetona al 100%?, he intentado conseguir en donde venden pinturas, pero no tienen acetona, alguien me puede ayudar? Saludos y bendiciones para todos desde Puebla, México.

AHORA TODOS TIENEN IDEAS! DAN RISA!!!😅

I was wondering why everyone was being so critical about the finished product, till i saw it! I'm so sorry but that is the worst looking thing ever! I can't stop laughing lol I feel like I shouldn't post this but it's hilarious!!😂 On a serious note though, thank you for the idea. I think a lot of people will actually appreciate the creative opportunity that you provided us with. Please don't take this the wrong way and thank you again, sincerely.

Расплавить обычное стекло можно только путем нагревания. Если вы имеете ввиду оргстекло, что по факту является пластиком, то его тоже ацетоном растворить нельзя, необходимы другие растворители

Of course not. You can liquefy only some kinds of plastic with acetone (it must have 100% concentration). Try such Lego bricks or CD-box covers. This should work. I saw some videos where bottle caps were liquefied with the help of heating

Thermoplastic is much easier to process. It is also liquid at 60/90 degrees and can be shaped and heated again in warm water until the shape is right. Much simple and you don't have to wait long before you have it liquid or solid/cold.

Depende de cada situación específica. En este caso, es necesario dejar una gran superficie abierta para que la acetona se evapore. Sólo entonces el plástico se secará y endurecerá. Puede secarse desde un día hasta 1 semana

Easy... centrifugal force. Align the moulds (syringes) with the center of a disc and spin up the disc. This will force the plastic outward from the center and displace the bubbles. You'll have to construct a jig and mount it on a motor but this should be easy to accomplish - you could use a drill for a motor and manufacture a jig from wood. All you really need is a piece of wood thick enough to hold a syringe or two, a bolt that will affix to the wood and be able to be mounted in a drill and some material to act as a "lid" which will hold the moulds in place though you could probably use duct tape. In other words, you don't actually need a disk, just a piece of wood wide enough to hold a mould on each end with the bolt installed into the center point. The key is balance, you want the jig to spin freely and not wobble so that you can zip up the speed. More speed = more force to displace bubbles. You are welcome! - Max Giganteum

Тут зависит от того, на сколько жидкий пластик получается. Если добавить минимум ацетона, и сделать максимально не жидкую массу, то количестов пузырьков будет меньше да и высохнет она быстрее. Проверено опытным путем
