First time viewer here, that was very entertaining 😂, my guess is that it don't much matter what you're fixing, it's gonna be entertaining. Which is why I'm subscribing! Thanks

Could have just roughed it up with some sand paper and used jb weld or some other epoxy...

My experiences with plastic welding have always been less than desirable if I didn't use the same type of plastic. HDPE with HDPE, PP with PP. Mixing plastics in my own experiences have ALWAYS turned out to be just fine - for a while, then the 2 different plastic types will separate OR begin to separate. 🙄

You had me at alcohol. New sub

I just wanna know why zip ties on the bedside table,hhmmmm?😂😂😂😂😂😂

Well let me know when you start reading. Read the Bible Genesis through Revelation. I would listen to the whole series.

You could have used the super glue and backing soda in the first place. Just clean with alcohol first then use the super glue and soda on top. less smell and it will work.

😂😂😂😂

'Fing Hilarious!!!! Had to subscribe!

That's pretty awesome merve. Won't forget that one. Who am kidding I already forgot damn.

I really think a two part epoxy would work better

Fantastic video. Funny too . Glad I found your channel. We subscriber. Thx ❤

Merv! Your content is GREAT! You're hilarious.

I have that deep and rumbling voice to go with the package. I am told I have a voice for radio and have been asked many times who I am , looking for the vocals I have done. I respond to those comments with. Yes I have a voice for radio and a face for radio too.

OHH damn. First time seeing your channel. I have found my clone!. Im an old crotchety fixer of problems my self. General contractor for the best of 40 years. Love and understand the humor. I like and save for sure.

How the fuck did I just find this guy😂

I love the GLORY shots and the main money shot

LOVE this guys sense of humor

Party at Al Pacino's house, with his Little Friend...

Had me cracking up 😂 great video.

The commentary is second to none.

Good tutorial about plastic welding! Also, I thought it was narrated by Sam Elliott at first. So I just continued to pretend it was.

So, We just ignoring the fact he has "bear teeth"??🤔

If a homeowner doesn't have the means to replace a pool pump when it gets old, broken, and inefficient; then They're not worth my time and effort. This is just polishing a turd.

Some zip ties I found on Helen’s bedside table 😂😂😂😂 you’re a hoot! 👍

I want to know what you do when the threaded sleaves pull out that hold the motor to the pump housing on the wisper flo?
The super flo housing are shit but if you can't get from inside on pressureized system will never hold next time if you have ball valves just remove plugs from pump to let water out get good and dry close multiport a valve on discharge side of pump would be best case .take apart a union ball valve hook up shop vac or cyclone to ball valve create vacuum close valve while vacuum is still running you will be able to draw in your super glue or marine jb weld from the outside in at trouble area with out having to break down pump and fool with all that shit I've had it last for a while but the housing on those if left in direct sun and chemical wear it's gone keep on getting more pin holes it's envitable super Flo the big brother of that pump has the same issue over time last a lil bit longer easier to prime too

From watching other videos, you seem to melt way too much zip tie. And you didn't use metal pieces to hold it in place. That's why it split in the first place due to pressure. I would use thick staples and melt many in a line to hold both sides together. Then, use zip tie to cover it up and use Al Pacino's cocaine to seal it up.

Why don’t you just bed-liner the inside and out… $10 5 mins done… last 20 years…

omg he is a funny one! I have a video request I want to ask.

Very informative. Thank you.
“Go back to bed Helen. Nothing to see here.” Lol 😂

Well, your voice is kind of unbelievable. You need to be a voice actor or something.

Innovative and entertaining. Love the humor. Well done and was just what I was looking for to effect repairs on some broken plastic items

J-B weld.

New fan here, I had to subscribe. Genius technique and humor.

Wouldnt a sheet of fiber glass and epoxy work better?

A soldering iron will not infighter flammables. A spark or flame is necessary.
