![]() ![]() I plan to load these with large but not necessarily heavy items. I can do a flex test after it cools to see if I can get the crack to re-appear. The crack is not completely straight, so I figure I'll cut stainless steel mesh rectangles to fit along different lengths of the crack and melt them into the plastic in sections. Just like you use sauter for connecting electronics, is there any material that I could use to feed more plastic into the weld, like a zip tie? Maybe some kind of 3-d printer material? ![]() This is a one time thing (I hope), so don't want to spend that much money. Not sure if I should get some serious fume PPE or if fan air circulation is good enough. Perhaps some kind of fan ventilation to push fumes out the garage. I figure it doesn’t hurt to try something first.ĭo you have a set of tools that you like to use? I've never tried plastic welding before, but I figure I'll need tin snips, stainless steel mesh, and a heat source in some kind of wand that you can apply in an area. If it doesn’t work I can always return them, but I had to travel an hour to pick them up.Īnyone have experience with trying to weld plastic? I’m thinking that I can try to reinforce with stainless steel mesh and melt it into the plastic, kind of like a rebar to try to reinforce it.Īny suggestions? I don’t really want to keep playing the roulette wheel with trying to get a full set of 4 undamaged totes and this is the best I’ve seen so far. So I feel that because there are no holes, it’s potentially feasible to try to weld the plastic together. I just tried Home Depot and the lids were good, the top tub was good, but the other three tubs have about 5” cracks, no holes. I thought maybe I was unlucky and tried a replacement and the second batch had damaged lids as well with sizable holes as well. There’s no packing inside the box and the box looks pretty beat up by the time it gets here. The first set of 4 I ordered from Amazon had major damage to several of the lids as it was shipped from CA to MD. So I have been having a rough time trying to get a set of 4 undamaged roughneck 50 gallon totes. ![]()
