Plastic Welding 101

[thesmdstudio]

no it plastic welding will not work, need to drain the fuel out of the tank and remove the ALL!! fumes with air and let it sit for a day or so and then have it metal welded.

[MrMunchiemo]

Could I do this on a gas tank?

[madarehgallag]

Great man thanks :D

[ChristianBomb]

Hm, this sounds great, but aren't the fumes toxic?

[richard2590w]

@ChristianBomb do it in a well ventilated area and you will be fine. or if your really worried wear a mask

Wow. Pretty cool. My projects are most all plastic tubing and PVC. Trying to get any glue to hold the parts together is almost impossible. I think the weld technique will be my best shot at getting these parts to hold together best. Thanks for the video.

better than the $700 for a plastic welding kit

[xach1090]

Hey man great vid!! That's about the best technique I've seen on the budget I have.lol Thanks so much!

[Wavyink]

Actually this is plastic fusing. =/  Still cool though.

The epoxy as 3000 psi thats pretty good i think, more then welding it back. so it all depends on the area that is cracked hope that helps.

[20smoke06]

would the weld be strong enough without the apoxy?

[ScottysDetailing]

yes it is, also permatek makes a 2 part expoxy that works very good too.

This is really amazing. Usually when I break plastic pieces off in my car I buy new one's to replace.  This is much better and gives you satisfaction as well. Thanks for posting !

[ScottysDetailing]

yes!! this one was cracked on the outside

[brbn93]

will this fix cracked dashboards? Thank you.
