Plastic Welding… Lets Try Something New

Plastic Welding... Lets Try Something New

Will this thing work?

I’ve decided to try out Plastic Welding for the first time, and I’m excited to share my experience with you all. Besides being a relatively new skill, I thought it would be perfect for fixing that broken lawnmower discharge chute at my Cottage.

Now that I have my little plastic welding set-up, let’s see how it works out. First, I bought the supplies online from some affordable sources – $5 for the welder and accessories from AliExpress. The Jungle Website Returns Box store was a good place to find the unit itself.

Equally important, having this skill will make me more self-sufficient in my DIY projects. I’ll be able to fix things on my own, without relying on others or buying new parts every time. Moreover, it’s also going to help me save some money in the long run.

Finally, I learned a valuable lesson today: don’t give too much power to your plastic welding gun! The $5 yellow welding gun started to melt, and I realized that I need to work with its limitations. Next time, I’ll make sure to break down the project into smaller segments to avoid overheating.

I retired from a large mid-western medical equipment manufacturer on December 31 (2019) and decided to try to let everyone in on my life and my transition into retirement. I have a varied set of interests. I live in a 90 year old cape cod in the middle of a small city of 70,000 people. I have a small lot across the street from the city seat of government, but despite that I have a 1952 Allis Chalmers farm tractor that I drive around the city from time to time. My wife has a business that has me fixing and creating cool home decor out of broken windows and drywall screws. I have been known to buy things on 'for sale' lists, fix it up, clean it up, generally add value and sell it off. Oh, yes, I'm getting chickens! But first I have to build the chicken coop and run. It will be like no other you have ever seen. Also will give me something to do. I am into home automation, have a Home Assistant enabled home and so will the chickens! I'll have to give them a password...
