Makes me wonder how much stuff is in landfills that could have been repaired or recycled by a little patience and creativity.
ОтветитьVery excellent you give me excellent idea to glue my plastic lazy neck holder with magic epoxy glue
ОтветитьThanks for sharing, very helpful.
ОтветитьGreat video
ОтветитьOriginal JB WELD is super strong and will permanently fix it better than any super glue. Although primarily designed for metal it is unbelievability for plastic as well.
ОтветитьI would say it's still worth fixing if you like doing it and have a bit of time. Even from a sustainability standpoint.
ОтветитьI have a plastic piece that broke. It houses a pretty strong spring for tension in order to “fold” back the bottom of a leg on a bassinet so it will fit in its carrying case. Would this be a strong enough solution? Already have checked in with the manufacturer for a replacement part - not available.
ОтветитьFor me it wouldn't be a 100$ repair: only the cost of the rod+epoxy, and for the rest the cost would be some leisure time of mine.. xD... More generally, the right to repair is not only a right of ownership over what you buy, but also a right to better our environment.
ОтветитьI just make a hole with the drill bit and use a long screw...
ОтветитьUnusual or not, that was great.
ОтветитьGlues and even epoxies are crap, GLUES are a lie! No wonder you need a rebar.
ОтветитьGreat video, thank you!
Ответитьthis is... the most. i want him to build my house
ОтветитьI used JB Weld on my car's dash to repair and plug a hole left over from my radio being ripped out of my car by someone that needed my radio more than I did. (AKA Thieves). I was young, and had limited money, so a new dash was out of the question. So I had a musical horn control panel that would fit in the hole where a piece went with the radio. JB Weld was my choice to get everything to hold together. It worked and, years later, I was wishing that I had used something not quite as durable when I had to remove the worn out control panel. LOL.
ОтветитьOh No !! I should have discovered it 2 weeks earlier. I was fixing a handle I broke on my miter saw because a replacement part was not available. I can't get a new replacement part because the manufacturer no longer makes the saw or spare parts for this model. I used some epoxy but it did not hold. So finally went the route of making a new wooden handle with a new threaded rod.
Two lessons learnt - one the trick of using "rebar" alongwith epoxy and second always first check "what would Matt do"?
This is very relevant in the shop and around the house - so many times fixes are needed not because something is cheap but because it may sentimental value or part of system that is more valuable and spares are not easily avaialble.
Please keep sharing and teaching us valuable techniques. Thanks for everything.
Very helpful with the rebar! Will try this tomorrow. Gonna be heading off some crack on a 20 year old Honda riding lawn mower dual bagging plastic cover. It’s on hinges and needs some reinforcement with JB WELD Epoxy Plastic, fiberglass cloth and aluminum mat.
ОтветитьOne less plastic bottle in a landfill! Worth it :D
Ответитьusing Gorilla epoxy to fix U-lock clamp for my ebike, small plastic piece broke off.
was wondering if epoxy or superglue would be better.🤔
this video helps. thank you.

Glad you made this video. Applied it to fix broken plastic in a tight spot!
Ответитьlol Dribllits.
ОтветитьLet me tell you good sir, I am NOT squeamish about the glue :)
Ответитьnob on my top he said
Ответитьa heat lamp, a litre of alcohol in a pressurised container, what could possibly go wrong?
Ответитьthnx for sharing the DIY process, even though it's not cost effective, that looks fabulous
ОтветитьI'd just go buy another pump sprayer.
ОтветитьIf I join two broken pieces of plastic with epoxy
How long will it hold the joint?
When the handles of a drill press were missing, I made knobs from jb weld on threaded stock. A little sanding and paint...they have lasted for over 20 years so far and look correct. Nice video, thanks.
ОтветитьMate, you bring style to every project!
ОтветитьI really like your attention to detail.
ОтветитьJust what I needed! Will probably end up saving me a few hundred dollars if it works for my application.
ОтветитьGreat video !
ОтветитьThanks for a very good video sir!
Thats a good fix for the things they are making now-a-days to nickle and dime people to death with.
Thank you for creating this great video.
ОтветитьI have a pair of broken plastic brackets for my Chevy Avalanche toneau covers. Tried a fix with Gorilla glue, didn't work. Will try a second time (I know the second time is never a charm) with JB weld & rebar.
ОтветитьI love the clamp you used to fix the lamp to the shelf.
ОтветитьGood tutorial lol
ОтветитьNice video
ОтветитьThank you for taking this to the next level and giving a reason to calling repaired. Great job
ОтветитьI don't have brass brasing rods - can I use coat hanger instead or will it rust? what else might be available or laying around to use as rebar?
Ответитьvery interesting process, in this particular case i would use just a long screw, but i am sure you made it better! this worth my sub
ОтветитьMore items repaired = less stuff in the landfill! See the previous comment.
Ответитьvery cool.
ОтветитьI have kept poorly made things for decades using this stuff! You did it right :) I've added pins and also used steel wool to bridge the repair on flat parts.
ОтветитьSo then how would you fix the nozzle screw part if all plastic bonding adhesive/epoxy dose not work
ОтветитьGreat Tip
ОтветитьGreat idea for collectibles but drilling may be harder than it looks free hand.
ОтветитьI have similar case, but the pastic is too slim to put rebar inside. What do you think if i put the rebar on the outside and “wrap” the whole thing with jb weld, will it hold?
Ответитьjust what i was looking for,u r a life saver sir
ОтветитьOne drop of superglue fixes it in 10 seconds
