PLASTIC REPAIR

There many ways to repair plastic. There is epoxy, plastic welding, and glue.

Plastic adhesive- glue made for plastic. I haven't had any luck with this. Had problems with it sticking to some types of plastics.

 

Epoxy repair- This is the cheapest way to repair plastic, but will not work with all plastic.  In time will fade or discolor and chip. Had problems with it sticking to some types of plastics.

 

Plastic welder- Many people have never heard of plastic welding. But this is probably the best to use with all plastic, but will have to know what kind of plastic it is. So that you can use the right filler rod (welding rod) .Now with plastic welding you have some choices here. Airless, Hot air, ultrasonic. The plastic welder will pay for it's self in 1 or 2 uses. Here are your options when looking for plastic welders.

 

·       Hot air plastic welder- with this type of plastic welder. The unit will have to have an air source. There are 2 choices for this type of welder.  

1.    A hot air plastic welder with its own air source. Some type of blower in the unit to force hot air out the tip. Some of these welders have a temperature control unit on them.

 

2.    A hot air plastic welder with a hose. These kind you will need to purchase a compressor with a regulator. This plastic welder you can control the air pressure with the regulator. You should use around 3 to 4 lbs. or less of pressure when welding with it.

 

With these kind of plastic welders. You have to learn how to heat both the base material and the filler rod at the same time without burning or discoloring of both. It will take time to learn how to use this plastic welder.

 

·       Airless plastic welder- These is probably the easiest plastic welder to use and can repair virtually any plastic.

You will not have to have an air source with these welders. There is very little learning curve with this type of plastic welder. It's not like metal welding at all. You heat the plastic base material and filler rod and the 2 join together forming a bond sometimes stronger than the original plastic item.

1.    Airless plastic welder without a temperature control: These are easier to use than any of the above, but do have its limits. You have no control over the heat. Great for ATV & MOTORCYCLE fender's, Kayak's and Canoe's.

2.    Airless plastic welder with temperature control: With this unit the heat can be controlled. This will allow the user to plastic weld many different types of plastics. ATV &  MOTORCYCLE fenders and other plastic parts, Kayak's and Canoe's, Automotive plastic's, house hold plastic's and many other plastic item's in and outside of the house.

 

·       Ultrasonic plastic welder- These plastic welder are probably the best you can buy, but the price tag is very high on these types of welders. So usually bought by businesses.

 

Thank you
