Brilliant job by the way

this is inspiring! one question though (at the risk of asking your to ruin your newly repaired frame - Have you done a joint and cut it on the bias to show the thickness of the filler and the integrity of the weld? Regardless, this is a really nice job... especially the use of a solvent wipe to 'unify' the repair. Thanks again!

Superb 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hi, hope the video has helped, thanks for comment 👍

where can i get that filler please

I have a plastic door and a frame. When I played with the dog I fell backwards and the door lock latch took a piece of plastic frame out. So now door can be just pushed open, would be nice to know how to fix that

Interesting. I'm a window and door fitter, could the torch weld dpm? Many of the flush threshold patio doors I fit require a purpose made damp tray up the back on the inside and overlapped in the corners as the doors breach damp course. If it was possible to weld the dpm sheets in the corners that would be belt and braces.. thanks

Hi biggest dickus, I've never tried welding dpm, it's a bit thin and the heat would probably burn through it pretty quickly, you could try turning the heat down low maybe that would work

Is the pvc in the video "upvc" like the plastic moulding you find in home depot, or like an azek or versatex pvc trim ? Thanks

Got any idea how to fix a dent in a vinyl window trim?

Hi, thanks for the message, the heat gun method in the video wouldn't work on pvc trim because it's more of an expanded style pvc with a smooth shiny cover. A family member of mine does surface repair, he would fill it, rub down flush and spray it but that might be more trouble than just changing for a new peice of trim. Hope that's a little helpful!

A tenant has burnt my window sill with an iron - how can this be repaired as only on top and sill not broken please?

Hi would this work on small screw holes on outside of upvc french doors. And where can you buy the torch and the plastic used to fill holes.

@allkraftdesign6120

Hi, no probs! It's around 280°C, you can test your temperature on the end of a stick of filler rod, if the rod burns rapid turn the temperature down a bit, you should be able to hold the heat gun on the rod for a couple of seconds before it starts to go brown, hope that's helpful!

Hi👋 Yes will definitely work, if the windows are PVC material they will be weldable, the U stands for un-plasticized, meaning the PVC is solid and not flexible. Hope that's helpful! Message if you need anymore info. Thanks

Do you know if the weld sticks are available in custom colors. Would they blend to match a manufacturers specific white?

@dgrouche1676 hi, yes there is various colours of welding rod's, I'm not sure about specific shades of a colour. The welding rod from the video wasn't a perfect match but after wiping over with the PVC Solvent it seemed to blend in quite well, if it was possible to get some scrap window frame you can cut a small strip off and weld it in the same way.

what was the filler material?
