You can fill ABS parts with some scrap pieces of ABS disolved with acetone, adding the acetone until you get the ABS to a paste consistency and use it like putty. This is what we use to glue and fill ABS 3D printed parts.
So helpful and I like tge warning about toxic fumes. I will try this method on a scooter panel although the metal will probably rust, I'll at least try to protect it from moisture.
Для прочности залей сверху супер-клеем (много чтобы аж лужица клея образовалась) и сразу обильно присыпь обычной пищевой содой. Можно солью, но содой лучше. Сода вступает в реакцию с суперклеем и клей мгновенно застывает превращаясь в супертвердю прочную субстанцию. Как камень. Намного прочнее обычноо клея. Остатки соды встряхни с детали. При желании можно прошлифовать.
That's a good start, but a much stronger joint is achieved by making small rings with the paper clip, not only they are easier to heat up, but also there are more points where the plastic melts along the seam, also fusing the plastic in more spots.
few tips: 1. use ca glue to temporarily hold the plastic so it doesn't move and its more clean 2. change your soldering tip into a bolt that have a flat head (like a 10mm bolt) so that you can easily put the paper clip in the plastic
That paper clip idea is brilliant..Maybe I don't need to get one of those plastic soldering guns w/all those types of staples & black plastic rods now that I see how to use my regular soldering iron kit for the repairs like this.
I like to add that after you are. Put some baking soda on it and pour in a few drops of super glue. The superglue bonds very well will baking soda and it fills in the gaps..
Inspiring good idea. 👍 Unfortunately the reinforcement is just on one side. And the soldering on the other side seemed to be a bit too weak, as you just Applied it for keeping it briefly in place. I would have added some glue on the breakage surfaces, too or heated them with a heat gun and pressed them together. I’d have placed reinforcement on the other side, too, as you make it sink into the plastic anyway so that it doesn’t stand in the way.
1::55 We used to make those hook like arrows for slingshot projectiles when we were kids. Usually we made them from insulated wires or nails. They could inflict some nasty wounds.
PP I use gorilla hot glue. I had to make a longer and thinner walled nossil for hot glue to get hot enough to push glue in to deeper recesses. A good headlamp is useful a hands free magnifiying tool works well sometimes when you need a 2nd hand. Remenber to rough up and clean the surface before trying to plastic weld anything. Alcohol softens PP a hot glue. PP is gas and oil resistant.
If by glue you mean melting the plastic by applying tack welds yes that's a great option and I actually have a video recorded last month but didn't upload it yet. I will get it uploaded soon.
The paperclip is inside the plastic part. The shape outside is the same ideally or almost the same if you're not able to put it back the same way. It's all in the video.
For anyone thinking to use a bolt and superglue to hold the parts together, please watch and don't skip the video important parts. A thicker tip would work better and faster but it's easier to overhead the plastic. The glue tip, please don't do that. Superglue and plastic welding is not good together - smell of fumes. Few small welds with the soldering iron will work just fine. If you use a normal tip you don't need to use anything else to hold the parts togeter. If you have it at a low angle, it works fine moving it around to make the weld surface even. All this info is in the video, please do not skip parts of the video and watch the whole info there.
I couldn't find it for this washer. That is really the best way but hopefully regulation will force manufacturers to make parts available more easily. This washer is 10+ years old.
Este es el video mas inmoral que he visto. Es vergonzoso como pierde tiempo y dilata el trabajo para alargar el video. Me siento como si intentaras robando 9 minutos de mi vida. Denunciado.
This is much stronger than glue and especially super glue even if you mix it with baking soda. With plastic welding the result is also instant. No need to wait for glue to dry.

@@_wormlet yeah search baking soda and duper glue. I have seen people use others like wood shaving and even cotton. Personally I used baking soda. There's even a technique where you wrap dental floss around a broken plastic rod and drip superglue on it to form a strong bond. Problem is that it's hard but brittle so won't work for all applications.

In caso di polipropilene pp? Grazie
Thank You! I was able to repair a snowblower part/cover that is no long avaliable. It's not pretty, but it will work just fine!!
Thanks for the info. There is not that many videos on welding small plastic pieces.

I saw a small spring cut into rings and I saw stranded wire cut into short lengths laid across the break.
Or, size the paperclip to fit the repair, holding with pliers heat the paperclip with a propane torch and place on the repair. Done.
What me was thinking.
Or you can use hot air gun also
few tips:
1. use ca glue to temporarily hold the plastic so it doesn't move and its more clean
2. change your soldering tip into a bolt that have a flat head (like a 10mm bolt) so that you can easily put the paper clip in the plastic

I fused #2 plastic with #5. I'll put a video up in a month. Seems really strong!
An ingenious idea and a very interesting method of repairing broken items. 👏👏
Thanks for watching!
Thank you .
Glue abs with acetone first, then add reinforcement!
Thanks so much for the informative,& helpful video. I think u have saved me & prob a few
other ppl.some $$..
Very good your technique
Very well explained
Good job mate cheers Graham
Thank you
Nice video!
Nice . Good comments.

Wouldn't gluing the parts together, than tack welding then the paper clip make it even stronger ?

Watch for Plastic Welding 2: Judgment Day, in theaters this summer!
Try crazy glue with baking soda, plus the metal wire
So how is that piece going to fit in something now with the paperclip on it .......
The paperclip is inside the plastic part. The shape outside is the same ideally or almost the same if you're not able to put it back the same way.
It's all in the video.
Take one fevi quick and few pinch of cement.... Job done
Yeah
Super glue and baking soda

Not all parts of plastic are same dude U shOuld know that
Couldn't see it, too dark.
Try this one czcams.com/video/zUWXyZlmUSc/video.html
Why didn't you just super glue it
Super glue wouldn't last in that part. There is a lot of tension on that when you open the door.
No glue is easier for that piece...
Glue might be easier but plastic welding can be stronger
8 mins. Could be 1 min
It's the cryptic voice that really does it.
Just order a new piece. That probably cost about $10 brand new!
I couldn't find it for this washer. That is really the best way but hopefully regulation will force manufacturers to make parts available more easily.

In mist cases you can't order a piece like that separately. Their made cheaply so you just by a new one throw the other away.

@@GraniteInTheFaceAdam Savage, the red haired guy from Mythbusters, has a video where he uses baking soda and super glue, about a year or so ago.
