Ingenious Method! Fix All Plastic Parts Using Cable Ties

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.

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

글루건이 아닌 케이블 타이를 이용하다니 대단한 아이디어와 기술입니다❤👏👏👏

Your video not only provided valuable knowledge but also inspired viewers to think outside the box when it comes to repairs. Thank you for sharing this fantastic idea and showcasing your skills. Keep up the great work !

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.

Всё гораздо проще можно сделать. Нарезвть полосок из такого же бампера и заклеить расплавляя их, тогда материалы будут однородные и прочность будет больше.

I use a large head roofing nail in my soldering iron and I bend different size paper clips to hold the crack shut. All work's very well.

Your plastic welding skills are amazing. I'm always watching and learning from you. Thank you for always sharing useful tips for life with the community. Good luck.❤

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.

Awesome video! I think that the final part of cutting out the excess material and sanding is maybe detrimental to the strengthe of the final result. I mean it looks like the inside part that no one sees. So why not leave it a bit uglier but maybe a bit stronger?

Interesting. It is like welding plastic. I do believe there are special plastic sticks for that and the needed equipment. They would be more like a specialty item. It is always nice to see that someone finds other ways to do it.

JUST WHEN I NEEDED THIS. Thank you! Something similar to the thing you repaired, only an irrigation cover thingy. This might work! 🎉

Brilliant. As you were going along I was figuring out the practical application for why you were doing it and it all came together logically.

Бампер изготовлен из материала РР /ПОЛИПРОПИЛЕН/, стяжки которыми вы пытаетесь его заварить или полиэтилен или нейлон. Эти два материала между собой не свариваются . Проведите тест, согните немного место сварки, все развалится.

Thank you so much! Interesting and helpful hacks..looking forward to more tips❤

Great show, the service was very good and you alerted me to a service that I have to perform on the air intake of the jetta tsi which is going to be amazing!!!

Есть сомнения в качестве этого ремонта, т.к. материалы разные: стяжка обычно сделана из нейлона, а бампер из ппр или другой пластик.

Great job 👏 I was just telling someone recently about this process. I like the idea of the aluminum tape too!!

Thanks! I have learnt a new method to fix broken plastic.

Thank you for that professor I'm doing that tomorrow and save money from going to a body shop. That was great Thank you
