Some years ago, I was having a problem repairing some plastic part of a car interior. I just couldn't find a glue that seemed to work as I didn't know for sure what type of plastic was used. I discussed the problem with one of my company's material scientists. His suggestion was to get some scrapings from an unseen area of the part or another part of the same material. He said to then mix it with acetone as acetone is a universal plastic solvent. Using that method, I had the perfect glue, one made from the same plastic as the original part. I have used that method many times with great success.

Love to see what the integrity of the 'bond' is between the melted zip tie and target plastic. under repeat stress & ambient temperature changes. Just because the 2 plastics might be of the same native polymer compound doesn't necessarily indicate that they will function after or tolerate melting without permanent destruction of their original material properties. One class of plastics can be melted & reshaped; another cannot.

Bardzo świetny jest ten cały pomysł z tym kułkiem i przetapianiem go pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku serdecznie 👍 👍 👍 👍

Спайка пластика производится одинаковой маркировкой пластика. Обычно на каждом пластике указана данная маркировка. Обычно разные составы пластика при спайке дают не прочное соединение. При спайке разогревать необходимо обе плоскости деталей вдавлия пластиковую заготовку в сварной шов, тогда соединение получается надёжным и крепким даже если деталь в дальнейшем будет испытывать какие то нагрузки.

for those who want to repeat: You must use same polymer to use this technique... (letters in a recycling triangle, PP - Polypropylene (plastic sewer pipes), PA - Polyamid "neylon" (plastic clamp as in the video) е.т.с.) to increase strength - you can melt a paper clip into plastic, having previously degreased it. don't overheat polymer to color change!

Very beautiful and functional. Sometimes such things can be done by using an easy method and using creativity. Thanks for training and sharing your experience.👏

I've been doing this ever since i learned to solder 25 years ago, it just made sense, no one showed me how and for those zip tie haters it's actually a really good bond with most plastics and is my go too plastic welding material.

Гениально!!! Ржал до слез...

Гениальное рукожопство,по другому и не скажешь,надеюсь автор не зарабатывает этим деньги)))С тем же успехом можно было заклеить козявками или изолентой,прочность была бы такой же))Мне кто нибудь обьяснит нахрена закрашивать шов изнутри?Да и что то я сильно сомневаюсь что ремонтируемая деталь из полиамида или ПП))

That is a really handy and useful hack! Thanks a lot for sharing!!!

Been doing this since the 70s. Even gas tanks, can, water bottles, oil bottles, plastic appliances, all types of plastic things etc... works great !

I've been repairing cracked motorcycle cowlings like this for 30 yrs. plus. Works great with like colored wire zip ties. I do the underside first then if needed the top side. Just as strong as it was before.

Que gran idea, muy buen video, felicitaciones maestro

Excellent.

Bad ass video. Thanks for keeping it short and sweet.

That was brilliant. Really helpful. Great to have ideas for reusing things instead of chucking away! And how lovely to have videos with no loud music! Such a pleasure just to hear the sound of work going on . Thanks x

Muito bom! Parabéns! Temos que evitar o desperdício!

Me encanta la gente tan ingeniosa y tan habil ! 👏🏼👏🏼🙌🙌👍🏼

Bloody brilliant..thanku very much. Great idea 😃
