Nice job! The steel wool trick is VERY clever! This is what you tube was meant to be, 63 years old, and still learning. Keep up the good work!

THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN
I'm 65 and son of an industrial instructor supervisor of electrical & soldering irons.
Extremely impressed with the wisdom & the presentation & teaching level.
Forever grateful to you for this.

I worked in a body and fender shop for 25 years and got certified in plastic welding at our community college. The challenges for that plastic weld system that was promoted is the cost of the materials like plastic weld rods, adhesion promoters etc. Add it to labor cost, it's cheaper to just purchase a new car bumper cover or headlight. You've given a possible opportunity for people to save money. Awesome video... keep up the good work! Mahalo from Maui, Hawaii

I used to work for a company that would plastic weld and it definitely works. Your work is supper clean and well done. Nice!

[sdawg]

Dude! I love how "messy" it looked during the process and you kept saying "Don't worry we'll clean it up at the end." Then boom! All cleaned up and strong as heck!! Nice work!!

[GLOandSHOTTYsHOW]

Really appreciate the fact that you picked it ip by the fixed tab shows how you stand behind what you do

[timbaumann]

Never thought to use the steel wool. Even at 58 years old... you STILL can learn something new! Thanks Bro!!!

[CheapCheerful]

I'd heard of plastic welding before, but never seen it. I love this! Especially that I can use everyday materials. The steel wool is genius! Great job Genevo9 - from Australia.

I straight up bought a plastic welder and I’ll tell you what, what you’ve done here is 100X better than what the actual plastic welder can do. I’ve got a radiator housing for my Mini Cooper S, that are notorious for breaking and that I’ve tried fixing 100 different ways, that I am going to fix using this method. Yes I said I’m going to fix cause I have that much confidence in this method that I KNOW it’s gonna work. I’ll update you once I know he w my project is going. Thanks for breakdown and the instructional video on this method. I’m gonna go do it.

My desire to weld plastic doesn't involve automotive components, but I sure do appreciate you putting this video together! It's given me the confidence to tackle a headache project that I didn't have a clue (before) how to fix. Thanks!

[keithcarmany]

I have melted broken plastic things with a soldering iron and always wondered what to fill & strengthen and you gave me answers! Thanks man.

[midcoastmoto]

I learned plastic welding a few years ago but I've never heard of the steel wool idea. Great upgrade to the standard practice, thanks bro!

[GoldBugsAU]

Dude! 4 years ago and I'm just now finding your post1 The absolute best production I've seen about how to weld plastic, and I haven't even tried it yet!

[fredroger]

Excelliant instructional video, this will help a lot of us handy guys GOOD WORK !

[trex]

I have no idea why this was in my recommended videos, but I'm sure glad it was. Nice presentation and proof of sturdiness. Now, you got me wanting to weld plastic.

[aazv]

Using steel wool (wire mesh) is a brilliant idea...
Excellent video.... Thank You

[spockfpv]

It's cool to read how many people you have helped with this video. Such a inexpensive and effective solution. Thanks

[paulberkley]

I've been scratching my head how to repair some PC cases that have broken components, rather than just bin them and replacing them. This method with the wire wool will save me a small fortune. Thanks so much.

I'm 50yrs old and I've been working on internal combustion engine driven vehicles since I was 5 yrs old. I've have a knack for finding creative solutions to difficult to what seems impossible problems. But I have to admit that I am truly impressed with this solution to a common but difficult to repair problem on plastic components in automobiles, especially when the broken pieces are load bearing or structural.

So I want to thank you for posting this instructional video and teaching us old dogs an excellent solution for plastic component repair. Great ingenuity and problem solving skills, young man! Keep up the great work and I'll be following your channel for sure. Have a great day.
