cheers neale

depends what your plastic welding ?

i weld mesh into holes / crack then build with plastic over the top

don't wast your money mate go and get you self a soldering iron they last for ever and wont run out

that isnt plastic welding though, that is just getting two bits of plastic hot and mauling them together.

plastic welding done properly [or extrusion plastic welding] is done with a heating tool and you add plastic with a plastic welding rod.

the proper kit is pretty expensive.

yeah you won't be able to do it with a soldering iron

the proper kit is easy to use though :)

I've seen grry's work before and its spotless. Bumper on his mk2 goof looks top!

where do i get the plastic rods to use?

I've seen plastic welding kits (Sealey) in the back of demon thieves for £100 plus VAT i think you can also get packs of rods too

cheers

blow torch and a flat head screwdriver

: )

What kinda plastic are you trying to weld? If it is ABS, you can use lego bricks to "weld" Or just make a paste using acetone and black lego then create a shape using masking tape and fill. Remove the take and tidy up and you are done

lol how funny

duno what plastic tbh what ever mk 4 bumpers are

and whatever mk2 ibiza bumpers are

they will probably be the same chris

bump any one know?

hey neal man hows it going

i used to plstic weld for a few months basically u need a sealey gun (a glorified ht air gun) whihc comes with a tacking nozzle and a welding nozzle. u use the flat tacking nozzle to tack the piece(s) together then change the tip over to a welding end and feed a length of plastic rod either ABS,polypropolene,polycarbonate or whatever it is past the end of the gun and into said recess/hole/crack.

its a fairly easy process but yeah the guns are about £180 and rod is fairly pricey as u usually have to buy a large roll of it say 100meters
