Plastic Welding with Soldering Iron

ive done this alot on car bumpers its ok if its a part thats not gonna be moved or under any stress but it makes the plastic brittle and hard really all you need is a 10 dollar soldering iron nust make some stitches and smooth em over

that would produce toxic plastic fumes and you probably shouldn't try it. third world people don't seem to care about that type of stuff.

you'd see the same picture on chinas streets

Hey that guy in the blue shirt, at the start... is he taking a shit?

That's how chimps take a shit!

This is not resistant

That's pretty badass.

That's the old school way. Props

Then you suck at it, basically.

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.
