Your favorite basin or bucket has broken, but is there no way to buy a new one? Do not be discouraged, with the help of plastic and tools it is easy to fix any container in a matter of minutes.
Necessary materials and tools
We will need:
- A piece of plastic from the usual "one and a half";
- Soldering iron;
- Broken capacity.
Before starting the soldering, we clean the bucket or basin from pollution inside and out, degrease on both sides. Take a soldering iron with a large sting and warm it up. We start the process from the inside, gently running a soldering iron along the crack, from left to right (as if making strokes). We get our “patch” from a plastic bottle and apply it to the crack. We melt the plastic to the defect, it is easy and convenient!
As a result, we get a durable and almost imperceptible seam that will help the tank to serve for a long time. As a material for sealing the gap, you can even use a plastic bag.
other methods
Not always a soldering iron is at hand, but this is not a reason to be upset. Plastic containers can be repaired in other ways:
- Using a solvent - drip a drop of solvent (tolol, dichloethane, tetrahydrofuran) on both sides of the crack. Under the influence of a chemical, the plastic softens, the edges of the crack must be firmly pressed together. After about a day, you can use a bucket or basin;
- You can make glue for the patch. Take a piece of plastic and fill with acetone (be sure to cover it). After a few hours, you will have a mass in which you need to add the usual “Moment”. Close the crack as soon as possible with such glue;
- You can also use special welding for plastic. A small amount of the composition is leveled along the surface of the crack and left to dry completely. If you follow the instructions - a very effective method.
Even a building hair dryer and a piece of unnecessary plastic can help you solve your problem, so don't be afraid to experiment, perhaps. You will find other ways to fix the tools in the field.
