    Hey man, I don't usually comment on these homemade DIY videos but I wanted to let you know you did a great job. Not only were your instructions simple and concise, but you spoke really well. Nothing annoys me more than people who um & um through these and waste time trying to search their minds for what they want to say. Thanks

    Good idea, great job executing it. It is nice to see how sometimes one man sees it differently than another and comes up with a solution with things on hand. Keep up the fixing, I need ideas, all my stuff is falling apart and I ran out of duct tape and bailing twine!

  • @ron4378
    @ron4378 Před 6 lety +5

    Yes a great video, this is a good example of what we in the Army called “field expediency”, we found ourselves making things work with a minimum of tools or material and repair parts. Keep up the great work!

    @waltp3373 Před 5 lety

    Great job. I've been doing this kind of plastic repair for many years. Just one thing to add - if you don't get the metal piece in far enough before it cools, you can press it in further with a soldering gun as it heats it up again.

  • @douglasthompson2740
    @douglasthompson2740 Před 6 lety +1

    Good tip. If you need more strength I have found roughing it up on the inside with sandpaper and using fiberglass cloth with one of the marine two part epoxies (I happened to use West System) does the trick. You can build it up as thick as necessary. I did the fan shroud on my truck six or seven years ago with a couple of layers of cloth (chop strand matt actually is even stronger and tends to give a tapered edge where important). Even in the hot environment it is still as good as new. It would be u/v sensitive so a protective top layer of paint would be needed if out in the sun. Now if there were a way to repair those little spring tabs on plastic electrical connectors on cars etc.!! Made to fail. Take care. Doug

    Hi I have a question, I made the mistake of putting a side cover in the oven to quick dry the paint and turned it too high so it sagged a bit. I know real bonehead move. Side panels are hard to come by due the age of my bike so I intend to do it again and form it back into shape but have no clue what temp I should use. can you shed some light on this?

    Good presentation, DW-6. Perhaps we could just use a pair of pliers for holding the hot wire. So many items we have break and we just throw it away without trying to repair it - saving time and dollars. Some items are made to break [such as plastic connectors, etc.]. [Thanks for holding back on wild music or almost speaking English.] Waiting for your next video.
