curious with an idea to try. ive done some construction work and the times i would break concrete with a jackhammer, a huge nightmare was trying to break it down with wire mesh inside.. maybe try including a wire mesh or something similar in your milk jug plates? not so much to prevent breaking but reduce the stretching as well, which of course would give more penetration resistance.

If your going to laminate HDPE and Kevlar you need to incorporate the fabric in multiple layers in the plastic. Putting one layer on the other will do very little. You would probably need to get your plastic up to a higher temperature to make it flow through the fabric. The idea would be to have several layers in essentialy molten plastic to create a cohesive solid piece. Good Luck!!!

For people without sheers putting some tape over then lines your cutting will keep it from fraying especially with fiber glass

Great video, two part video was the right way to do it. I always love to see how people build anything, everyone problem solves their own solutions so its interesting to watch what methods you use. Cant wait to see your ballistic mask video great idea. A spartan type or riot type ballistic shield would be cool as well. Great work brother.

thanks i figured two part video would allow me to include more imformation. and by Spartan you mean a round shield or more like a tower sheild?

Have you considered making or sourcing thin sheets of HDPE and then thermally laminating those sheets with the fiberglass?

Great video, really inspires me to try to create body armor.

I had good results with 1 layer of polycarbonate sheet (glass works better but is destroyed after one shot), 4 layers of Kevlar fabric (alternating direction), 1/2 inch HDPE block (same process you use) all wrapped in a sheet of fiberglass with resin. The fiberglass and poly sheet tended to deform the projectiles and the Kevlar slowed them enough that the HDPE could catch them. I would love to see that setup with ballistic nylon instead of fiberglass wrap. I used a hydraulic press to clear out voids and air pockets. Great videos!

Tip for cutting composite fibers without fraying; lay some tape along the line youll cut and itll all stay in place

Im just now watching your videos from the first one , GREAT !! Im excited about making my own ,

I think I'll try making this with my 27 tonne log splitter with a flat plate attachment. Machime press from Harbor freight might give best results but I don't have one. Thanks for the knoledge brother!

The interesting thing is that the plastic behaves a lot like steel, and can teach us. Neither has any surface tension. Fiber layers can add this quality to HDPE and steel. Helicopter armor had a steel mesh matrix inside aluminum plate.

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.

I wish I would have seen this before my parents passed. My step father's was a body guy. He worked with fiber glass. And had a business. Did dragster bodies, funny cat bodies all cars . He had chip brushes acid brushes ever size rollers.. every wrap you can roll the resin into the fiberglass and get out all air bubbles. And he would use plastic spackling knives. When you roll it it pushes the resin into better then you can take the resin that squeeze out. You can scrap it back into the top and roll it back in.. it's a learning process.. he made molds out of fiber glass . With the same clay you use. And styrofoam. He can cut it and sand the shapes. It would be your positive shapes. With the styrofoam you can deal it before you put the resin and fiberglass to it. He would trim the fiberglass with a numeric buzz saw with like jig saw blades. You can get your supplies/ tools and blades , rollers and such. You can also take fiberglass courses at a local college. My step father never wore a resperator. And he died from brain cancer. He had it in his synus and brain behind his right eye.. so Ware you resperator and gloves.. even like dish gloves. And he used acatones for clean up. I also have a plastic torch that bonds plastics together. I would love to get you to make me two 10"×12" shooter cut multi curve plastic a inch and a half thick. I would love to try using the bulistic nylon. My wife will never let me use her oven to melt the plastics. I can trade you some of my step father's fiberglass tool. Like I have two buzz saws. And I'll film what I have and can send it to you. I'll wait for your reply if you are interested. I can also pay you to make the plastic with those dimensions. You can make them a quarter of an inch bigger. I can sand it to size my self.. it's up to you..

You know I always wanted to build my own green house out of old plastic and stuff, that would be a great idea! so HDPE (the plastic found in milk jugs) is a wonderful plastic to start working with, and you can get a lot of it easily. However I wouldn't use it for any major supporting structures as it has a tendency to undergo plastic deformation from loads (aka creep), you could add chopped fiberglass to the plastic to reduce that effect. but panels for siding would be great, it doesn't absorb water and is a fairly good insulator, use rubber washers with the screws or bolts that you use to attach it to help against the creep effect. You could use two large cookie sheets for molds pressed together, if you want to make larger sheets of the hdpe for the wall panels. Let me know if you have anymore questions!

Enjoyed watching your build. You do great at problem solving. Would like to pick your brain. How would you go about using the recycled plastics to build sheets of thin plastic to cover a deer blind that could have a lite wooden frame or metal frame. How would you handle the joints where the plastics meet. Can it be glue so it will not leak or would you be able to use a heat gun or some other approach. Thanks for any wisdom you can share.

@Techthisoutmeow

6 жыл бұрын

Ah a fellow hunter, that's a great idea! This will require a bit of a long winded answer, so here goes. First lets talk about the plastic, if your going for HDPE (the plastic i used in this video) I would figure out how thick I wanted the sheet to be and base the other dimensions of my mold off of the oven that I have. And by mold I mean some metal sheet or board, most wood starts to burn at about 500F so it could work, might want to treat it with something to resist higher temps. HDPE is very flexible at 300F, but doesn't get completely clear til 350F, so that's what i would set the oven for. I would cover the board (or metal) sheet with wax paper and spread out a lot of the chopped plastic, and melt it til it was completely clear. Then i would check to see how it was filling out the board, ( it won't turn liquid, so no worry of it running off really) and add more pieces to help fill and gaps and thin points, you could also use a rolling pin to smooth it out over surface. Once it looked good and ready, i would pull it out and place another board of the same size (with wax paper) and use large claps and such, maybe just weights or books would work, to apply pressure on the plastic. HDPE shrinks a lot when it cools, and if you don't apply pressure it'll shrink too much, and it can ripple and have air pockets. Make sure to add a bit of pressure as it cools, just a few turns on a clap or a few more books. If you were thinking smaller scale sheets two cookie sheets would work great, find one that fits into another and use them as the mold, i would use some sort of stopper next to the mold bottom (or build in) to only allow the plastic to be pressed to that thickness, that way it isn't to thick or thin. Now how to fuse them together. HDPE doesnt absorb water at all, and most glues don't seem to hold to it well, but guerrilla glue does work, as well as some high grade epoxy resin called max bond, its the same resin i used in my hat insert build and my mask build, if you have seen those videos. make sure to scuff up the surface before trying to bond them together, and silicone calk works pretty good. But i like the heat gun idea, when this stuff is cooling it'll stick to anything, the first wooden mold i used had to be broken apart to get the plastic out, and there were chunks of wood stuck to the surface so i think you could try and weld it to the wood itself, or metal. (main reason I use Vaseline and wax paper.) Now plastics can under go creep deformation when loads are applied to them. (buckle at the joints, gets thinner in the center) so if your going to screw it to something I would use washers( maybe rubber washers) to help keep that from happening. This stuff can be cut and sanded a lot like wood, so maybe a planer could be used, if you could get your hands on one. Anyways great questions! You got my head filled with some new things to try, and i hope this helps.

@waynepruett2492

6 жыл бұрын

Yes you have helped a great deal. Harbor Freight and others sell plastic welders and you can buy HDPE strips to use on the weld. Your idea of welding it to wood is worth thinking about. Please help me understand about the length of the cooling period. How often should I increase clamp pressure? Every 10 minutes or every 15 or what? I liked your video - it got me thinking. I think I want HDPE about 1/4 inch thick for my application.

@Techthisoutmeow

6 жыл бұрын

Yeah I forgot about plastic welders lol, that could totally fuse two pieces together. now cooling depends on how fast you want your plastic honestly, if you keep it in a warm room it'll cool slower so it'll take more time, and you wouldn't have to apply more pressure for awhile (like every half hour for two hours). but if you take it out side or into a cold garage you would have to apply it about every 10 min or so, really with clamps you can tell by checking them, if they feel loose tighten up until you get solid resistance. I've greatly sped up the process a few times by using my deep freezer just to see if it would work, and with it being that cold it still only needed to be tightened every five mins. Also its worth noting you'll only need to re-tighten them about 3 times, it shrinks mostly right at the beginning and much slower after that. It can still be warm and shrank all that its going to.

@waynepruett2492

Oh it's totally doable, and as far as recyclable plastics HDPE is where to start. Its some tough crap, and easy to find, and it doesn't really give off any fumes that are dangerous if it happens to catch fire. ( I've never had a piece do it to me, and ive molded quite a bunch of this stuff.) Just make sure those buckets are HDPE, you can check the recycle symbol for that. If you wanted to step away from recyclable plastics i would consider some themoset plastics like epoxy , and reinforce it with fiberglass.

Yeah, I mean HDPE is some tough crap man, I use it on my table saw, and its common to use it for cutting boards. It'll never be as smooth as UHMW however, or as tough. That stuff is in a league of its own, but I would go that route, just to see if I could save a buck. You can always spray a little silicone lubricant on it and it'll be slick as ice, that is if things seem to scuff it up to quick. So yeah, I would give it a try, you won't have the same abrasion resistance as UHMW, but it should work fine.

I'll post on there when I get some PDFs finished, and where to get them at. If you turn on notifications you'll know the second I post them. Thanks for the suggestion!

You know those park benches or bus benches made out of recycled plastic. Ya you know what im saying uh huh.

chopping boards made for commercial kitchens. Tremendously tough stuff relative to weight.

You might want to do a crossover with the KZread channel TAOFLEDERMAUS where 2 police officers in their spare time use a cronograph to measure the speed and do capture on media the track & pattern of fragmentation. They regularly use old vests, ballistic gel torsos as well as fruits, jugs of water or milk. It might help both of you!

I've contacted him in the past for a crossover, however he said that he was kinda booked up with submissions. He was really polite about it and everything, maybe I'll reach out to him again and see what he says.

Try seat belts.

Lol the shooting was in a separate video, however I've recently tried this again, and was able to stop more impressive rounds! And that video has both the shooting and build together rather than separate, ill post the link hold up

Whitty plates

Would you trust your life to a DIY?

Ah. During the Vietnam War, 2 types of protective vests were issued one was filled with ceramic pellets think a bean bag chair. You were told to shake the vest to redistribute the pellets. The other was hard nylon plates which were ridged. There are stories of the nylon plates stopping 9 MM ball ammo. Any thing is better than nothing. Plus Sept 2020 no telling what may come to pass.

Fiberglass for a ballistic mask is a bad idea

@Techthisoutmeow

Fiberglass was just the base, like only 5 layers for molding the shape. The rest (30 layers) was UHMWPE fabric and high impact resin. It held up pretty good.

there is 200 liters barrels that we cuy upp in too sheets of 6. and melted in the owen. a .44 magnum went thrue it. this shit is not bulletproof. yust siging

200 liters barrels? and I never said it was bullet proof, I was more surprised that HDPE could be used to stop 380, 9mm, and .38 special. It stopped quite a few rounds of all of them. Did you rap it in fabric like Nylon or Spectra? Or hell even fiberglass, that seemed to do the trick with this stuff. And was it starting to show signs of stopping, like striping off the jacket or breaking up the bullet in any way?

Not surprised it didnt work. Judging by the way you write, I wouldn't trust anything you produce to stop a bullet.

HDPE is never going to achieve the strength of HMW PE. The HMW polymer chains are lined up in one direction and interlock in depth. Adding other fibers to the material is not going to increase the HDPE's ballistic strength by any amount. In a case of, "when not if," get a real ballistic plate. Getting shot hurts like a bitch.

@Techthisoutmeow

6 жыл бұрын

I totally agree on the "get a real ballistic plate" thing. I was more interested in the toughness of HDPE, have you seen the test footage? The idea of adding fibers to the plastic itself was more from impact tests I previously had conducted, and like you pointed out, it didn't work. However, adding fabric around the plate really helped, kzread.info/dash/bejne/iJOArbdvoKydqsY.html here, watch this. I'm not saying run out and grab fiberglass, cheap resin, and some milk jugs and everything will be fine. I'm really surprised at the lack of back face deformation as well as the amount of rounds these little plates could handle without falling apart.

Not faulting your integrity. Intellectual curiosity is to be applauded especially when your method is sound.

To much meth.lol

Bro get some degreaser.

I'm not one to judge, but if you are going to make a video of yourself in front of your oven.....CLEAN UP THE OVEN. That oven looks like it has NEVER been cleaned. Other than that, I appreciate your videos. Clean it up.

Your understanding of fiberglass and resins needs work...

Ive come a long way in the three years since uploading this project video, from making a bullet resistant mask that could stop .357 magnum rounds with less than lethal backface deformation to a fully functional plague doctor mask respirator. I'm currently building a hybrid composite plate out of spectra ballistic fabric and high density pourable urethane resin. Maybe check out other builds I've done before casting such judgment.
