I'm glad we have folks like you that take the time to show and explain this stuff to us. It's like having a good buddy around at all times.
Thanks for the kind words, I'm no expert, just sharing what I have learned. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel
Thank you brother
I'm working on an 87 honda and an 87 johndeere 5 wheeler. Can't kill those old engines, but you can sure beat up the plastic
That stapler is the best. Twist the staple 2-3 degrees just as you let off the button to set it in the plastic. Works very well. Hot iron with stainless steel screen cut to size also on corners. Been fixing quads, dirt bikes, boom lifts, tractor hoods and car parts for years now. It's fun. The more ya do it, the better ya get! Awesome video Buddy!!
Thanks Alpha Racing, Yes, the plastic stapler is the way to go, I have used screen in the past, but this is the best by far, and not expensive. the hot iron and stapler, really do pay for themselves after the the first 1 or 2 jobs. thanks for supporting the channel.
Same here on inserting the staple and giving it a little twist. I bought one of these kits to repair 200E rear fenders a couple of months ago.
Not only do I love learning this method...I love that you're listening to Emerson Lake and Palmer in the background. Thank you.
Thanks for watching.
This is the best plastic welding video on youtube in my opinion, I wish I found this video when I still had my 400ex lol
I'm going to agree with you on that. Lol thanks Danimals. I appreciate it
Thank you for including so much detail. This is exactly what I was looking for to repair my new 1985 Honda TRX 250 fenders.
Hi Daniel, happy to help. Thanks for watching.
Small trick i work a lot with plastic welding
And i use this stempler it a good way to do it ... do some nice job #1 when the stemple enter in the plastic just before stop the heat you have to make a small turn it make the stample move from the original hole where she enter in the plastic so it more strong
#2 And it nice to know you can have some stemple whit differente shape ... some whit the zigzag more small and some whit corner shape for when your crack are in a corner
Hope it help somme one sorry my english not verry good ;)
Thanks for sharing Phillippe.
Good tips. And your English is better than I can speak any other language!🤣👌
This is Haley's bf Dan. I learned more watching 2 of your videos than 20 others. I thank you but my 85 Honda 125 ATM in immaculate condition thanks you more. Good job.
Thanks Dan, I appreciate the support
Hot stapler has saved me way more money than it costs, not just when it comes to three wheelers but household items as well.
I have an 85 big red 250es and I really appreciate what you're doing on your channel. The way you break things down and explain them has made me believe that I can tackle some of the harder things on these 3 wheelers now. This is some of the best plastic repair that I've seen because you're able to hide the repair. Honda should be reproducing these plastics, they could make a fortune off of it. It's a shame that they won't
Thanks Kentucky, I have a 87 as well. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
@@mrcbuilds That picture is of my first 87 short bed I had that I should have never sold. But now I have an 87 gmc longbed, I love these old trucks.
Your an excellent teacher, easy to understand, Thank You
Thank you Robert. I appreciate that.
Excellent demonstrations and explanations‼️
Thank you joel, those hot staplers are a life saver
Man. I’m about to do this to my ATV. However once I heard Hendrix in the background I had to drop a like and say keep rockin.
Thank you sir, keep on rockin'
Dude from one atc enthusiast to another, GREAT VIDEO! Love fixing up these old classics! Gota keep them going and looking good! Keep up the videos!
Thank you, I will do my best, these crazy machines just make me smile and feel like a kid again.
great video. "There's value in everything". Agreed 1000%
Thanks Eddie
Awesome video!!!! I’m running to harbor freight now to get a plastic welder. Fixing fenders on a 1984 Honda 200ES Big Red. Thanks for the great tutorial!!!
Thanks Joey!
Nice review of plastic repair options. Glad you're holding your own and able to work on the wheelers. I got Harvey S to watch your front fork swap to prepare to do mine and while he's at it, a complete wiring job. Working a full time job with 2 part time jobs on top of that gives me little time to spend learning new skills. The 5 atc's I've got now are probably where I'll stop and just focus on keeping them in good shape and ready to ride. I enjoy your vids very much and maybe in a couple of years when I turn 70, I'll try to retire from working all the time but for now I'm on a roll and getting things done. When neighbors drive by the property and see my loading dock, and a wheeler in the back of my truck, they just shake their heads and I just smile. Take care.
Let me know how to turns out. We should do a big collaboration one day, I have been a fan of Spooners for years
@@mrcbuilds Just had breakfast with Harvey at the Roscoe Diner Sunday morning. His 2 vids about housecalls and rats nest were filmed at my place a while back. To be sure we should do something big, great idea. I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out and since I've got only 5 ATC'S maybe we could each show 5 of our favorites and give a little background. Great to hear from you and I'm looking forward to a different type of project.
It's really cool that you take the time to explain the steps on how to tackle a repair. You just gave me some pointers on using a heat gun along with welding the plastic back to as one unit, and it makes since. I myself do some steel welding and fabricating from time to time on heavy metal, and I understand where your coming from when building up the material, very well said 👍
Thank you CJ7fun, I am a hobby welder but I do really enjoy laying a nice bead.
Great video, I have been using the same method to fix them for a lot of years. If you get a contoured spot where the staples won't quite work i like to use stainless steel mesh or stainless steel window screen, cut a little patch like your going to do fiberglass mesh repair and lay it over the back side of the repair, then after some heat with the heat gun using the iron with the large triangle foot just melt it in like your ironing with a clothes iron and work it in below the surface, that mesh imbedded in the plastic works super good for adding strength to areas that flex a lot. Using the stainless prevents it from rusting later on. The kits they sell now for plastic welding have a few different iron heads, there is a narrower one thats oval shaped that works good for getting into rounded corners. My hot stapler died the last time i used it, but i got years of use out of it, they are cheap but they work great. The staples are cheap, from China of course, but worth the investment.
Hey scott, this is a new technique for me, I have always used mesh or screen. I like the staples a lot. I just never could run out and buy new plastics for a minor crack. Thanks for the good advise and supporting the channel.
I bet you could use small square hardware cloth the same way as well. Great tutorial! Thanks so much.
Thanks Stan, glad you liked it.
that staple gun is so cool! i got told to use inch long cuts of copper wire straddling the crack heated up with the soldering iron worked great but that staple gun is the daddy 💪👍👍👍
I really like it, and there pretty cheap too.
Great Video Mr C, thanks so much for taking the time! its A LOT of work videoing, editing and turning out a finished video like this. Great content
Thank you david, thats my most viewed video. When i started YT i had no idea. Its a ton of work. Thanks for watching, im glad you liked it.
I just subscribed - Whoop Whoop! I have a 1985 Honda 350X, I bought her from the 2nd owner (two months ago) and he got her from the 1st owner in 1987! I appreciate your videos...and your cool 80's rockband T's! LOL Seriously, you have already helped me a TON!
Thanks for letting me know, it's good to hear the videos are helping people. Thanks for watching, do me a favor and share my videos on your social platforms, that helps a ton. Thanks again.
Time to buy more tools. Thank you.
Great video buddy! I’m trying to repair a plastic ( HDPE) boat. All I have is a heat gun and some filler rod, but you’ve given me the confidence to do more of this kinda stuff, and buy some better tools. 👌👌
As you see I only spend money when I believe it is needed, the plastic repair tools (heat gun, hot iron) have served me very well, not only saving me money, but making me money, tools pay for themselves.
I just did some repairs on a Honda fender. I used hot staples, and then went over it with epoxy. It turned out alright and definitely looks better than the Frankenstein method which I used back in 2007ish.
We all learn better ways of doing things, i remember using zip ties and bailing wire. Thanks for watching.
@@mrcbuilds for sure, I don't know if hot staplers were a thing back then or not. I only learned about them a few years ago. It's a great tool for fixing all sorts of broken plastic bits!
I give the staples a little pinch with the side cutters before I melt them in. Then you can just bend them a couple times and they break off flush or under the surface.
Good suggestion, thanks for sharing
awesome clip
Thanks Paul plastic welding can fix a ton of other things too. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Awesome video sir. Gonna have to try that on mine.
You can do it, just takes alittle practice
Like how you can fill in with the soldering iron after the heated staples.
Great work. My big red has a long patch of Frankenstein stitches that I put on but I wasn’t the one that created the cracks. If I can muster up the time I might be just doing this. Did just pick up a scrambler with cracks that haven’t been touched yet, think that it may be my guinea pig.
Always good to practice, if you have an old fender (same color) it helps fill in holes
I have one of the hit staplers, I love it..however I do not have a hot iron like that. As you have shown it looks like it really does help with rigidity. I actually have covid right now and am really missing working on my bikes.. I have a new 250sx begging for some work done to it. Can’t wait to be done with isolating lol
It's new to me, I use to use screen and cut it I to strips, this is much easier. Thanks for watching
You can also melt in mesh on the backside .😉
Yes you can, I have done it. I think this is easier.
Great Video as always good sir!
Thanks for the support Curtis, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
I knew about the plastic welder, was literally about to zip tie a fender on my 200x today…ugh….now I’m going to just order the plastic welder.
It's well worth the investment. I have links to all the tools in the descriptions
great vid
Thank you
Happy Thanksgiving just started watching about a month ago really enjoy your sensible approach to working on these bikes. I have two 84 big red that need some TLC mabey this winter.
This is my theropy. There like legos I can ride
A steel wool lattice melted into the weld will offer great strength. Also you can use color correct zip ties to help weld with
Hi Ekon Rekon, your correct the color zip tie trick is a good one, I must say the staples work so good and are so easy to do. I have used wire and mesh before and the staples are by far the easiest. Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@mrcbuilds subbed, love your channel
That looks good, thanks for the video.
Thank you!
Before watching this video, I used to hate people who used the saying 'time is money'. Now I kinda see what they mean.
I know what your saying. Thanks for watching!
It's Winter time right now in some places..Yep the Southern Hemisphere.😎
Its winter here too, just no snow about 45 degrees in the sun, the wind is what gets ya!
I bought the same one you have, It gets hot, but it's not glowing. Should I expect it to glow? Great video!
As long as it melts the plastic your good.
mrc_builds : nicely done , Thank You Sir .
Can you please do video on how to fix brakes front and rear
Yes, I would be happy too.
I suppose it might be a good idea to try joining two pieces together from your scrape pile first before doing the actual repair on the trike to get a feel for this job?
Its always a good idea to practice before you do the repair for real.
good strong fix man 👍
Thanks hookybit, hope it helps
excellent
Many many thanks
I want to make my own plates for my dirt bike. I wanting to find someone that can mold plastics or even what type of skill this is even called. TIA
A prosthetic maker, they do a lot with vacuum forming and plastic type work, I would also call around to a sign company, they have a lot of cool plastics and tools to shape it.
I use a different welder where you can push plastic rod thru the center of the welder as you are heating the plastic and you can push from the backside real hard and have a plastic scar so to say that shows on the good side and all you have to do is use a dremel type tool and sand the little ridge down and it makes fora small looking area of damage compared to what you are doing on the face up side of the plastics. I also can tell you have to recreate the pattern on the face up side to make it almost like there was no damage at all like it was never broken. contact me and I will tell you how to do it
Sounds interesting thanks for sharing, there more than 1 way to skin a cat.
I got a 83 200e. Gotta find that tip for soldering iron. Been doin zap straps but gonna upgrayedd to this plastic welding.
Theres a really inexpensive kit in the description of the video it comes with several tips.
Where did you get those tips for that soldering gun? Great job bud. GNR
the tips came with the "soldering" gun look on amazon or harbor freight for a plastic welding kit, it will have the tips with it. here is a link amzn.to/3JbrfFb
I know 2 ways to renew old plastics, one, take a razor blade and drag ot aceost the plastic scraping off the top layer,two, propane torch tillbot looks beter NOT MELTING
Those are both good ways, though it does matter the age of the plastic and how much sun rot.
What is the best way to paint the plastic after the weld job on my rear plastic crack? Should I have it professionally prepped and painted? Or should I diy?
Hi J. that really depends on your budget and the level and quality you want. I bet you can prep it and paint it yourself. I like sunrise red, is a good match.
Thanks for video just bought a 91 Suzuki 230 needing repair. Would you know where to get sidecase bolts for older quads?
Hi Jeffrey, ebay or even the manufacturer would still have them. You may want to find a cheap parts bike. A wrecked / blown up 230 should be pretty cheap. Thanks for watching.
all that dirt on the underside of the fender should help bond that plastic better😂
Thats adobe!
Can you just hot staple it without plastic welding? I have a 6” crack inside my wheel well that wont be seen so foesnt matter what it looks like
Yes
Your supposed to do a slight twist right before ejecting the staple
good tip, Thanks
I got a max 6x6 an gota fix the tub...the way im gona do it is put the staples in then melt the wire mesh over that an add plastic rod if needed you think that will do good?
Yes I do, it wouldn't hurt to use a something like gatorglide on the bottom , just for another layer of protection.
@@mrcbuilds what is gatorglide?
@@sethdewey2121 its a paint that seals and coats the underside of airboats dang near bulletproof.
@mrcbuilds thats interesting ill check it out thanks!
What and where did you get the paint color? My Honda XR 80 needs a little of that. Thanks for sharing brother
Sunrise red.
Do you have any more of those forks
Hey Brian, no sir, The best option is to get an entire front end from a 1983 ATC200 or a 84/85 200m.
Hey MRC! Whats the worst, most busted up oxidized plastics youve ever repaired?
I just got a free TRX250 that is UG-leeee. I mean bad ugly. The thing is so discolored that you cant even tell it was once red. It has moss and lichen on it from years outdoors. And its busted up...but all the pieces are there.
I'd like to repair it. As a challenge. To make my buddies go...no way...that cant be the same plastic.
Thoughts?
Anyone?
✌️😁🍩
I took 3 different big red fenders and made one, once. Wet sanded and buffed it looked gooder but not perfect. Lol good luck
@mrcbuilds Hey man! Any tips on getting paint off atv plastic?
✌️😁🍩
Did he just say ** Go down in my crack ** ??
I don't think he said that.
What do you recommend for taking out fine scratches ?
If its OE fender id suggest using a buffing wheel and compond.
Will do, thanks much
None of this much good, the simplest, strongest way is removing the panel taping the outside bad parts together and then putting a couple layers of fiberglass mat on the backside. Then remove the tape.
These are not jell-coated fiberglass fenders these are 100% plastic. Plastic welding is really the preferred and most excepted repair for broken plastic.
@@mrcbuilds I just got a King Quad and will tying it. Fiberglass epoxy seem to stick to everything, wood, metal, ect. I want to stiffen all the flex points.
