@arescraft Your statement is false. Plastic soldering isn't some skill humans are born with. Are you high?
-
everyone knows how to plastic solder. Are you stupid or just trolling?
-
@arescraft To show a technique of plastic soldering. Are you blind?

Oh man, that has got to be an awful, awful smell.

What's the point of this video???

take note of the metal pin reinforcement, otherwise this is just a rediculas fix turning perfectly good plastic ,brittle. Next time, use a bolt on metal braket ,there is no melting solution to fix problem.

funny I also use the black plastic spoons, forks, knives as extra welding plastic when fixing broken plastics the flow is much better than the white tho I have never fixed a wheel with them but it works well in the automotive field when plastic panels break or crack, it takes some practice but after awhile you get real good at it, plus after asking the Snap On guy for years for a good plastic welder he has only recently finally got a good one will be getting it soon then no more spoons for me

I am very interested to know what type of plastic was added to the weld? thanks

@AlkoHol62 what I've seen them do is find a completely trashed version of the same thing they're repairing, ie another Honda fender, and cut it into strips to use as filler on the one they're fixing. Or they slice a thin strip off from the part itself, from somwhere where you can't see it or it doesn't matter as much (ie take a slice from opening of water tank to repair hole in bottom). so then you know the filler is exactly the same mat'l as the part even if you can't identify type of plastic

people have wondered about durability--the repaired wheel was able to complete 400,000 cycles of the "double drum" fatigue test of the ISO 7176 wheelchair standards (only 200,000 is required to pass). We never drop-tested it however, or had a real rider beat it to hell down stairs etc. I'd always assumed plastic wheels were "disposable"--this guy shows you can fix it more or less, if you throw enough extra plastic around the broken area.
