But, remember, kids, plastic is highly toxic! Make sure the area you are working in is well ventilated. 😊

I just bought a soldering iron to put holes in plastic plant pots. I saw your video and realized I have a new cracked toolbox and a few other things I can fix now! I hate throwing stuff away if it can be fixed! Thanks for this!

I have used scrap plastic strips to “weld” broken items before, it works well, but adding the metal wire or staples seems like a great improvement. I’ll definitely try it for repairing glasses, the stems are so small that it’s hard to get enough plastic alone to make a strong repair that also looks good.

It would be helpful to us novices if the materials used were listed. Like what type of tape is that? What did you remove the middle of the wire from? What kind of metal mesh is that? What did you put back in place of the plastic piece that you cut out?

Thanks. Repaired my chain guard instead of buying a new one. Saved €25 but more importantly: No unnecessary use of raw materials and also a satisfied feeling of being able to repair stuff!

Great job 😅 I have a question: I have a Chair made in polypropylene (PP) and it’s broken in a structural part. How is the best method to repair and fix it? Thanks and have a happy new year 🎉 Umberto from Rome.

This actually what the car industry uses, I use to work for a welding parts wear house and we sold the kits with various sizes of the metal pieces.
