    Rule number one of plastic welding is ''never mix plastics unless they are compatible''.
    Rule 4 says that both surfaces need to be at melting point to make a proper weld.
    Rule 16 ''when having cracks, stop them drilling a hole at the end''
    Rule 23 (or 24 I dont remember) metal mesh or hot staples make a bond super strong
    Rule 23b: welding both sides make a weld even stronger

    With plastic welding you have to add the same type of plastic that you are working on or it will not stick. This will only work on plastic bumpers that are made of the same plastic as the zip ties. What i have done on bumpers that use different types of plastic is to cut a strip from somewhere that isn’t seen and use it, that way you know it’s the same because it came from the same bumper.

    Я каякер, и иногда в корпусе каяков от ударов бывают трещины, их приходится ремонтировать дома. Самый надёжный способ - с помощью паяльника вплавить вырезанные полосы металлической сетки шириной не менее одного дюйма. В местах изгибов корпуса очень удобно использовать подходящие полосы вырезанные из старого полусферического кухонного сита с крупной ячейкой. Вплавлять металлическую сетку нужно так, чтобы она полностью погрузилась в пластик. Такое соединение уже никогда не ломается.

    Two things, unsure if the melted cable ties would get hot enough to also melt the surrounding plastic, meaning it would just tack onto and not integrate. It would be cheaper and more reliable to use the dremelled out pieces with the spade bit process as they are the same plastic. Also would suggest pushing in metal pieces across the cracks. I bend staples into W shapes and position them across the crack with the spade bit. Great suggestions of yours though, and a stimulative video for those that are willing but just never thought of it.

      Нормальную нагрузку такая пайка не держит. Потому что когда расплавленный пластик засыхает, он становится очень неэластичным и весьма хрупким.
      Данный метод в принципе можно юзать, но только для вещей где нет нагрузки. Для бампера тоже годится, пока он просто висит на автомобиле. Но даже при лёгком ударе он скорее всего лопнет в этом же месте.

  • @Davegbuf
    @Davegbuf Před rokem +34

    Excellent. It's a nice alternative for DYI if these are the materials you have available. I would not have trimmed the melted material down flush and sanded it because 1) it would not be visible after reinstalled and 2) the extra material creates a stronger bond. If repairing a visible surface then yes, I would trim, sand, and finish it. I would also reinforce the opposite side if appropriate for the application.
    As an alternative solution (and one that you would leave as-is without trimming), try plain 5 minute epoxy and push some thin pieces or strands of steel wool into the applied surface. This works similar to when you reinforce concrete with steel rebar. After it dries, add a second coat of plain epoxy if you want a smoother surface to cover the rough surface of the previous coat with the steel wool. This second coat also gives the bond more strength and you can sand off any bumps if you want.

      @@totalnoobfishing1753 There's other videos that show this better. The first part with the soldering iron trick is legit. But as several other comments have said you'll want to melt some metal mesh of some sort into the plastic. Also with a kayak I would definitely only try to do the main repair by melting the existing plastic. I doubt much else will want to stick to it. Once the main structural repair is done you can always try to add some sealer to fill the smaller remaining cracks. Might still leak a little but let's face it no kayak is 100% dry anyway.

    • @Davegbuf
      @Davegbuf Před rokem +2

      @@totalnoobfishing1753 I haven't really done any videos or have much inclination for posting one at this time; however, I am adding a shared link to a few photos of a recent repair I did and which I'll explain below.
      The process is really as simple as I explained in my previous comments. Spread one layer of epoxy on the surface to be repaired followed by a layer of steel wool pressed on top of it with your fingers. Finally, a second coat of plain epoxy over the top, minutes later after the first coat sets in, or even the next day. I prefer to add the second layer while the first is still a little tacky so it fuses better into the first, but I have done so successfully after the next day also.
      Tips:
      1) I got larger tubes of epoxy at Harbor Freight inexpensively. I have seen some on Amazon also.
      2) You can try to make a mix of epoxy and steel wool in a separate container for some small applications, but I found that to be too messy for larger and other situations. I think it's best to manage each layer of material individually and not deal with a big mess.
      3) the steel wool pad I used, could be unrolled out like a roll of paper. I cut off pieces or longer strips of steel wool to suite my project's needs. It's important to have these pre-cut and ready to use before you mix the epoxy because you only have a few minutes to work.
      4) Don't mix more epoxy than you can manage at anytime. It dries quick. You can always mix small batches and overlap while you work on larger repairs.
      5) Sand and scratch up the surface to be repaired so the epoxy sticks well to the surface.
      6) Use a good amount of epoxy for the first layer and work it into the steel wool with your fingers such that the epoxy underneath it works it's way up and saturates the steel wool. You can also try pouring a little over the wool and/brush it on with a small brush or spread with flat piece of plastic or stick.
      7) If you are fixing a crack in material like plastic or similar, drill holes at the ends of the cracks to prevent the cracks from spreading further. This is an important tip I learned from watching Forged in Fire where it's used some times to fix cracks on steel knives.
      8) In some situations, you might want to do the same treatment on both sides of the project for extra strength.
      About the photos in the link below:
      This was a casual repair to fix a long clear toute to store stuff in my basement. I could have done a nicer job, but pretty was not a priority. I final product turned out very strong and water proof.
      From the inside of the container, you can see two 3/8 inch holes on each end of the crack to prevent it from cracking further. I trimmed the epoxy flush that oozed out of the holes after it dried.
      On the bottom side, I sanded and scuffed the plastic enough so the epoxy would stick to the smooth surface of the container. After the second epoxy layer dried, I sanded off any pointy bumps on the epoxy so it would not snag or scratch anything (or my hands) when I'm handling the container.
      The repair worked out perfectly, and has the ability to flex a little if needed without cracking the repair material.
      Enjoy...

      @@totalnoobfishing1753 By the way... make a video if you have a chance. I would enjoy watching it! I think the epoxy-steel wool method should work well for you especially because of the need for a little flex.
      Other things I have tried are
      are styrofoam dissolved into acetone mixture and crazy glue with other substances like baking soda, but these methods result in a hard and brittle patch that will more likely crack and brake off when flexed. These are good for other situations where rigidity is OK, adherence to other kinds of materials, or making a part out of a mold. Look them up on CZcams, experiment, and keep them all in your mental arsenal of tools for future use.

    Zip ties are a good plastic for some things. I've found that stripped plastic oil quarts do the best job. I managed to seal a" plastic "gas tank in a Chevy blazer permanently with a single quart mobil one oil container and a soldering iron. Just flail them into 1/8 inch strips and melt it into the structure nice n thick, she held tight for 4 plus years until it sold. The plastic for oil containers don't degrade as they are formulated to hold petroleum based lubricants and distillates which makes them perfect for most applications. 👌

    Be sure to use foil tape (like in the video); if you use regular duck tape, the glue could get sticky from the heat of the melted plastic, even though it's on the other side. Also, do in a well ventilated area. The smoke from the zip ties fits PCBs, which when inhaled, find their way into the fatty tissue in the body and stay there.

      "PCBs belong to a broad family of man-made organic chemicals known as chlorinated hydrocarbons. PCBs were domestically manufactured from 1929 until manufacturing was banned in 1979. They have a range of toxicity and vary in consistency from thin, light-colored liquids to yellow or black waxy solids. Due to their non-flammability, chemical stability, high boiling point and electrical insulating properties, PCBs were used in hundreds of industrial and commercial applications." So how ? Under other names to avoid ban ?

      @@zeez3139 you have to use the same plastic. And it probably has to be a thermoplastic, which not all plastics are. I think ABS, polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), polyamide (nylon), possibly also polyester (PET) and vinyl (PVC) will work. With the same plastic as filler, of course. Polyurethane (PU), epoxy resin, melamine and silicone are examples of plastics that are not thermoplastics. I guess cable ties are either PE, PVC, or maybe nylon/polyamide, which explains why they won't work with ABS. Coat hangers may well be polystyrene, which is probably compatible enough with ABS (which is a different kind of styrene-based polymer) to work.

      I use those triangular soldering irons made for plastic welding.
      Tip for the burning, I use an extension cord that I added a dimmer switch to for temperature control. It isn't precise, but with a little experimenting you can get it set just around melting point.
      When the plastic overheats it breaks the makeup of the plastic making it weak or brittle.
      Especially apparent when trying to do nylon with full temp. Gets all brown and kind of has a sizzling effect.

  • @hansonwa1
    @hansonwa1 Před rokem +18

    Not trying to be critical, just FYI.
    You don't have to make the divit in the plastic.
    If you draw the tip of the glue gun tip towards the gun to premelt melt the base plastic as you add plastic with a wire feed welding pattern, it bonds the plastic much deeper/stronger . Cable ties are usually nylon or polypropylene, so it's probably better to use polypropylene on most car bumpers (or better yet to use the same plastic as the bumper).

Like some staples etc. i would love to see if you bent this if it held together or not. Nice work though. came out pretty good in the end. I agree with other commenter. if they made a plastic glue gun stick that would be awesome. or use one of those 3d printer pens. The hardest part is matching the material type. certain plastics wont melt together nicely.
