Thanks for watching! Your comment is so much appreciated!
Do any of you people read the comments before asking the same question that has been asked MANY times already? - - -The pot repair was intended as an example of what could be done with the liquid plastic. I venture to say that everyone knows the pot is a $1.25 item. If you and your dad mixed spit and iodine together, then make a video and leave this guy alone. Same goes for all of the negative comments, MAKE YOUR video about how to use a razor knife. 😮😮😮
Thank you so much for your support!!! ❤️❤️❤️ You described the purpose of this video the right way!
Hahahah dont working...fake😅
I been wondering the same things about several videos I've seen tonight. Came to conclusion many are lazy and mean
All I did in this video is not fake. You probably took the wrong type of plastic or your acetone is not 100% concentrated. Only ABS type of plastic can be liquefied with acetone
@@YouCanTelevisionHow much % of each one?
Oh, man! That's so cool to know. I just bought a gallon of acetone for paint cleanup. I knew there were more off-label uses. This is a great contribution to the CZcams community and the world. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your positive comment! I wish you good luck in your home DIY adventures!

@youcan... Te Felicito y te envío un abrazo!!!😊
¡Gracias! ¡Buena suerte!
Woo hoo! Yep melting stuff with acetone is fun. I only have a quart, though
Thank you. This opens a world of possibilities for me.
The coloring technique can be improved using more pure pigments like those used in watercolors. Maybe acrilic paint or gouache might work… I will have to try. Or leave it clear and paint later.
Also the making technique. You could have doubled the tapes with pliable cardboard like that from cereal packaging.
Yes, thank you so much for your very practical suggestions
Love it, thank you.
Nice.Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for commenting my videos!
Thank you for the video. In some countries industrial acetone has been banned. It is discreetly sold as ''paint remover''🤔The one that ladies use to remove nail polish will not work. While using chemicals always use protective gear; gloves etc. And do it in a well ventilated area.
Thank you for your contribution! The fact that acetone is banned in some countries was something new for me. And yes, safety is a top priority!

Thank you for sharing this wise message.
Thank you for your comment! Come back soon to see my new video!
Ohh my goodness! It’s a very very useful idea. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for watching and your kind comment!
Where have you been all my life! Im always fixing and restoring things, NOW I know. Thank you so much, Following for more...
Thank you for such a positive comment. I am so glad that I could add something to your knowledge.
Very useful info. 👍 Didn’t know acetone is dissolving these brittle hard plastics.
- So far I watched some good videos on melting and reshaping PE -plastics.
Your video adds on to my knowledge on the spectrum of plastics.
Thank you so much for your comment! Good luck in your plastics' chemistry journey!
As far as i know acetone melts ABS and PS
@enniolocatelli3422
Thanks for telling. I’ll keep it in mind.
👍
acetone sold at dollar tree fails for dissolving anything I've tried - over a dozen types of "plastics"
Fantastic way of restoring this poor plastic flowers pot. You are genius no way to deny. Keep making more and more such useful videos. Thank you ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your words of support! Appreciated!
Thank's
The liquid resin you created is used to repair all plastic parts, it's really cool, useful and extremely effective. I followed you to repair plastic at home which was awesome, thank you
Thanks a lot!
Está súper Gracias por compartir

Make a simple piping bag to get the liquid plastic into the narrow space. Don't reuse the bag for icing a cake though! Put the liquid plastic into a small but tough plastic bag - like a ziplock bag. Close the bag, squeezing all the air out as you do so. Then force the mixture into the bottom corner. Snip off a triangle at the bottom of that corner. Start small when cutting the hole. You can always enlarge it as needed. Then put the corner tip at the bottom of your mould. If your bag is too fat to get into the space, move some of the contents to make it thinner. Open the ziplock if you need to let out more air. Squeeze the bag to release the contents, moving upwards as you fill the space. Much easier than using a trowel-like instrument to try and force the mixture into the mould.
Thank you for your detailed instruction. I hope it will help to those, who wants to repeat my experiment
Thanks for the tips
Merci pour cette astuce de réparation.
Je vous remercie d'avoir regardé mes vidéos
Thank you sir helps a lot for so many precious electronic devices cabinets like radio etc
Thank you for your comment!
Awesome ! Thank you for sharing this it will come in handy for fixing alot of things.
Thanks a lot! I wish you success with that! 👍👍👍
سلام استون چیه ؟
Your idea is very good, but when pouring the mixture into the mold, you should use a syringe to pump it to make the patch smoother and easier to manipulate.❤️
Yes, thanks for your contribution! Using a syringe in this case would be more comfortable!
Creativity is appreciated
Thank you for your comment! You understood the idea of this video correctly;)
I’m really impressed.
Thanks a lot for commenting!
This is genius; I love this stuff! So far I fixed my snow shovel, my laser level, my bong . . .Badass!
I am so happy that my video could help you! Thank you so much for sharing your story of success!
We did all this for a plastic pot from dollar tree.
Very helpful chemistry lesson, though. Glad to know how to do this with other items. :) Thanks for sharing.
Yes, my aim was to show the method. Economic goal is secondary
😂
@@YouCanTelevision,for some of us it new, and I found it helpful and I say thank you, kip on educating, much LOVE from Afrika

Thank you so much for commenting!
It's worth it. Thank you
Thank you so much for your positive comment! ❤️❤️❤️
Very nice. FYI, Thin cardboard with a clothes pin on both sides would've held the curve of the mold better than either masking or packing tape.
Thank you for your input!
🤣May the force be with you in getting that glue off the cardboard.
@@jarexxsuvexx8212 the thin cardboard can be left in place it will biodegrade in time.
Great vid👍👍
Might be an idea to coat the piece of clear tape that is going to be coated in the solution with oil, grease anything to make it unsticky. This will make the removal easier.
Yes, this may work! Thanks for sharing the idea!
Yep that's called a "Mold release!"- oil, powder,silicone or graphite that keeps plastic products from sticking to specific machine parts.It's also used in baking for cake pans!
Except that the clear tape has to seal on the outside of the repair section.
Where to get acetone
@@priti1652 at your local drug store or at Walmart,it's also called: "Nail polish remover" --it's the same thing!😉
Thank you for posting this on. I work with abs and knew this hack, but many other people will benefit from it. Good job!

por cuánto tiempo se conserva sin que se endureze
I have used super glue with baking soda for plastic repairs. Thank to your video I learned another technique. Dollar tree stores in the u.s.a. usually have 100% acetone in the cosmeric department 16oz for $1.25 Your tutorial is also impressive because you reply to most comments. Thank you and all the best from New Rochelle N.Y. Bruce the swimmer.
Thank you so much for your comments! I was really excited to discover this process of liquefying the plastic, letting alone the costs of the materials or the pot itself.
Carry on as our teacher in the you tube classroom!!
i bought the same acetone and it did nothing to styrofoam and other "plastics" did you have any luck? ... dollar tree is notorious for selling less than adequate products
Sorry to say I also had no success melting several plastics. Was it the acetone from dollar tree , or acetone from home depot give the same lame results?
@@atlasgunther8947
In your experience, would this be better for plastic repairs than the ash/baking soda/dry cement with super glue method?
Fantastico, sensqacional mesmo essa idéia. Vou fazer Aqui no Brasil.
Obrigado por dar uma nota tão alta ao meu trabalho! Desejo-lhe boa sorte e prosperidade para o seu país!
Acetona no Brasil não é forte (pura) para levar a derreter plástico, antigamente sim.
Eu entendo, provavelmente eles começaram a usá-lo para os propósitos errados!
Excelente idea muy útil

Hi @YouCanTelevision,
• how long does the melted CD cover last in the sealed container?
• Can you re-melt the hardened cut-off parts using the same method, or other compunds?
• Can the melted plastic be used on metal or other surfaces, or just onto another plastic material?
Appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks for the share!
Hello! Thank you for your questions! Here are my replies:
1. It depends on how tight you close the lid of the container. I would say 1-2 weeks maximum. It's better to prepare a "fresh" melted plastic each time you want to use it.
2. I think yes, as the liquefied plastic gets hardened as soon as acetone evaporates. But I think the "quality" of such plastic glue would be worse
3. You need to try this, I did not try.
Thank you for taking time to respond, @@YouCanTelevision ü Preparing a "fresh" mix and re-using hardened mixes are very useful info indeed.
is there a particular type of acetone required or could any type of acetone, say like consumer ones used for removing nail polish be used?
You would need 100% acetone, or close to this concentration. I do not know what is the concentration of acetone in nail polish, possibly its not 100%. I bought mine at a building materials store in the department, where oil paints solvents are sold.
@@rv_PH nail polish removers are not 100% acetone anymore, it hasn't been for years,
It's either ethyl acetate and isopropyl alcohol [which takes for ever to remove nail polish verses acetone] Or Acetone and ethyl acetate
The other and less common "Acetonitrile" can also be used as a nail polisher remover, it's highly toxic banned in the EU since 2000 I would use that ever.
Super fine technic
Thanks
Thank you for your positive comment!
Awesome .thank you
Thank you so much for commenting!
Put the mix in a syringe for easier dipensing.
Yes, this is a good idea, thank you. I think, I will use syringes for liquid plastic dispensing in my next video

This helps me so much! Thank you. I have been trying to finish a jewelry design for months and this will allow me to do just that!
Great, thanks for commenting and sharing your experience!
Ацетон расстворяет именно АБС пластик. Хотя сам находится в пластковой бутылке из другого вида пластика) Так же АБС пластик разрушается от ульрафиолета. Через пару лет на подоконнике горшок становится хрупким и легко ломается.
Такой пластиковый горшок стоит один доллар. Возможно проще купить новый горшок и пересадить растение.
Ваше предложение имеет смысл!
This person went through extreme measures to save this $2 plastic pot. If it was for the environment then kudos to you.
Thank you for your input!
For those who have some degree of intelligence (normal will do just fine), will understand that this is just instructional. I am amazed to see the endless possibilities to use this technique.
Excellent tutorial
Thanks a lot!!!
Alhamdulillah, ini ilmu baru baru buatku sebagai orang awam di chemicals, insyaalloh bermanfaat. Mau buat gagang pisau. Thank so much.
Halo! Terima kasih atas komentarmu. Ya, mungkin suatu saat saya akan membuat pegangan untuk beberapa instrumen dari plastik semacam itu.
You could also heat a blade to further smooth out areas.
Yes, this is a good advise, I did not think about that when making the video!
I'm curious as to;
shelf life for mixture ? Cure times by various percent of acetone to plastic ?
Here are my answers to your examination questions: Shelf life for the mixture - I would say 1-2 weeks, not more, depending on how tight you close the lid of the container. I did not test the cure times by various percent of acetone, but if you use 100% acetone, the cure time depends on how thick the layer of the liquid plastic, from 3-4 hours to 24-48 hours. The more thick the plastic layer is the more time you would need to have it cured
That’s great. Thanks
Thank you for your positive comment!
Fantastisch , vielen Dank 😊
Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich meine Videos angesehen haben! Viel Erfolg!
I think it would be better to put the inner tape then put the liquid plastic and then squeeze it into shape with the outer tape. Regards
Yes, it's also possible. This method may be even easier than mine.
Thank you for your advise!
I would take the aloe out of the pot, wash the pot clean, make a proper mold and then fill the broken place with the mixture.👍
Yes, probably, this would be the better way of doing this repair
Homemade liquid resin with your own ingenuity gave a great result, very useful, thank you

А можно было бы припаять назад кусочек отлетевшего пластика паяльником с регулировкой температуры. Было бы быстрее, чем ждать пока ацетон испариться и образуется пористый пластик вместо жидкого.
Можно было бы, но этот кусочек где-то потерялся и я хотел проверить, как можно нарастить пластик с помощью именно этого метода.
Well done 👍
Thanks a lot for your positive comment!

@@elhebreo06 🤦♂Зачем? Все, кто интересовался не только алкоголем и был чуть-чуть умнее обезьяны, об этом знали.

Сейчас, при наличии интернета, для вас этот рецепт является ВЕЛИКИМ ОТКРЫТИЕМ? 🤬
Для меня - да! Журналы такие не читал. Читал в детстве больше художественную литературу

Your mould is too flimsy to support the plastic. Better use thin balsa wood wrapped in clear tape. As the mould is very narrow, a syringe would come in handy. And it could help to remove the plant before the repair…

It's nothing new. We have been using it for years in the field of 3D printing, it is called "ABS juice" precisely because the material that acetone can dissolve is abs (it can also be used with polycarbonate and polystyrene). There are 3 levels of ABS juice or similar, i.e. with 2 other types of materials, based on the type of use, the ratio of acetone is entered to have a liquid type for coating, up to a filling paste. acetone in 3d printing is also used to polish abs prints with vapors. It is also used in the 1:3 form to coat exposed cable areas or tool handles.
Thank you for this information! Very interesting!
Yeah! Nothing new for You; but For us the novice is cool stuff
Oh.. yeah.. im like a 3d printing enthusiastic self important #american #kkkunt..... Get off your high horse.... Not every one has a 3d printer up their butt, this is useful to many peoples.

No, not every kind of plastic melts with acetone. I tried different kinds of plastic, including clear acrylic sheet. The best kind appeared to be the plastic from a compact disc box.
@@YouCanTelevision thank you.
You can also use polystyrene works well but you need a lot of it to fill a big glass
Yes, I understand, maybe I will try this method one day
Thanks

Nice😮. Puede servir para partes automotrices. Gracias
Puede intentarlo, pero no debe usar una mezcla de este tipo en aquellas piezas automotrices que requieren confiabilidad. Es más un elemento decorativo.
Buenas tardes, la puerta de mi casa tiene en las bisagras para regular altura y verticalidad, en la parte de abajo algo se ha soltado y la puerta rosa en el suelo a medio camino , alguien sabe si yo la desmonto tenga solución. gracias.
Creo que debe ponerse en contacto con su experto local en reparación de puertas. Es poco probable que alguien aquí pueda ayudar a resolver su problema.
Wish I’d known that CD case plastic was the right stuff! Would have saved me a lot of time last year when I needed to repair a kitchen tool!
I in the US, and I DID get nail polish remover to work, but I had to get the better quality stuff, *without* additives for “nourishing” your nails.
But now I know I just need to raid my CD case collection! 😂
Thank you for commenting, yes, knowledge is the power. To get the plastic liquefied you need highly concentrated acetone, close to 100%. I do not know what is the acetone concentration in nail polish. Good luck with your experiments!
Perfect mouldingidea🎉🎉🎉😊❤

Это будет работать, если вид пластика в замазке совпадёт с ремонтным изделием.
Согласен!
I would drill stop the end of the other crack, so it doesn't crack any further. Or, you could just buy another pot...just sayin'.
Yes, thank you for your comment, it makes sense!
Not everyone is the position at the moment to by a pot🤦
Pots are expensive. Also why throw away extremely polluting plastic when you can repair it. And do not talk about recycling: it just does not happen most of the time and you should know it.
I rarely say anything like that. However your comment is at best ignorant and stupid.
Very good effort it would be useful in lots of problem s thanks
Thank you so much for your positive comment!
Going to try something like this on my clear backpack.
Good luck with your DIY repairs!!!
For safety reasons never let your finger against the blade.
Thank you for taking care of me!
I honestly think to spend $1 for another flower pot would have been a much easier fix than going through what you did.
А можно и не потратить доллар, а сделать то, что он сделал.
It's an example. You can do the same with anything else that's way more expensive. It seems to be quite good, and probably with a bit more of acetone it would have been more liquid and easier to fill.
örnek olsun diye yapmıştır,elinde o saksı vardir, pc,computer parçası olduğunu düşün,yada bir araba tamponu😉
Ah but most other plastic parts cost a lot more than a dollar and you often can’t get them . If you find them used they are in similar shape from sun damage and new has an eye watering price tag😥
Esa es 1 deducción bastante estúpida , y x lo visto no soy el único que piensa así , la idea es como reutilizar el plastico con ingenio , el como depende de ti ,😜
Amazing

or you can just buy a new plastic pot at a dollar store for like a buck
Yes, it's possible, but what I propose is more interesting!
@@YouCanTelevision no, what you propose is more time consuming and expensive unless you already have the materials. You don't even finish the repair to match the entire pot. It's basically an unfinished job on a cheap plastic pot. Nothing interesting about that
@@rodnyg7952Try not to be so anal. It's a technique which one day may come in handy. The flower pot is just for example. Now go away and start practicing being 12 years old. And you have a spelling test tomorrow.
What a literalist! Use your imagination. He is just showing you how to repair plastic... replacing the broken piece on my central vac, any tool housing, more expensive decorative items.... worth it.
Many expensive household objects and appliances have plastic parts that are unavailable or expensive to purchase and are essential to their function.
@@cecilbrisley5185 how am I a literalist? You don't seem to understand that word. You may mean perfectionist. No, I'm much less than a perfectionist. I try to do the intelligent thing depending on situation. In this situation it's just cheaper, less time consuming to just buy a new one.
