Ingenious Method! Fix All Plastic Parts Using Cable Ties

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.

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 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.

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.

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. 👌

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

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

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.

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.

In todays throw away world we need more stuff like this .Repair and fix is the way forward. Thanks for sharing 👍

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?

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

I like the glue gun idea, at this stage I’d say build a printer pen maybe a casting system to form specialty consumables from zip ties or recycled plastic. It could make useable pieces out of scrap and filings from other repairs. Maybe just an old crock pot? I’ve got two just waiting for a use LOL I’ve seen so many of these videos but the ideas still come it’s a lot of fun. People are freaking amazing!

Без армирования это всё филькина грамота, - только если продать ( типа не бита не крашена ;) )

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.

天才！！ ホットボンドに結束バンドが使えるとは、 これならかなり強度が出ますよね。 さらに、表からもこの方法で修理できますね。 仕上げはちょっと大変になりそうですが。

What a great idea! You welded with the flat paddle soldering iron then backfilled with Zip Ties to fill in the gap. Great idea.😊
