Review on 🔧 DIY Plastic Welding Kit with Welder, Rods, Reinforcing Mesh, Hot Iron Stand, Wire Brush | 80W, 120V | Ideal for Arts and Crafts, Car Bumper, Dashboard, Kayak, Canoe | Professional Surface Repair by Josue Porter

I should have gotten one of those plastic welders years ago. I have tried countless times to glue broken plastic together without success. This welder really works. The included stainless steel mesh allows you to reinforce the repair by making it stronger than it was originally. Parts I used to break I can now fix! Some people have complained about the tip bending. This is what happens when you press too hard. My advice is to let the tool do its job. Make sure it heats up for at least 5-10 minutes and gently press until the tip melts the plastic. If the plastic doesn't melt, the tip is too cold. Remove the tool from the part, allow it to warm up, and then continue. If you bent the tip, let it heat up and push the piece of metal in the opposite direction to bend it back. Wear a good pair of leather work gloves to protect your hands from burns when using this tool. I believe this is an entry level tool that you will use several times a year. If you plan on welding tons of plastic you can upgrade to a heavy-duty professional model, but this tool works for the do-it-yourselfer too.
