insane. so professional I dont think 90% of regular folk like me have a hope of doing it this well. Gonna stick to epoxy, lol.
I think the outline would be easier for us normies if you would draw the outline on the aluminum tape with a sharpie first. And when all else fails, a grinder and files will form the shape in the end.
Amazing. Very professional.
Thanks for watching!
Clean repair 👍👍
That’s a bit beyond repair. I would say that is refurbishing and nearly remanufacturing it. Amazing how good that looks. I have 2 headlights each with one broken tab. I have a hot iron, but no hot air. I do have other headlights to use as material, so it will at least match. I am thinking about getting hot air…can also use hot air for solder reflow, so yeah.
Awesome job, great video
Thanks! Yes, rebuilding a tab like this definitely takes some skill. This video was just to show it is possible. Repairing a crack when you have the broken pieces is much easier than this.
If you have any questions about the repair you will be doing, you can give us a call and we can give you some guidelines.
@@polyvance very nice. I sure appreciate the offer. I have some material to practice with that is same as the headlights I plan to fix (ABS), so I am going to practice until I have the confidence to do it and do it right. I have a hot air reflow machine for soldering, I am going to try to adapt it for plastic welding. I have a plastic welding iron and a hot stapler or whatever they are called, so I will do my best to make mine as good as the headlight in the video.
Thank you

Why not add 2 little metal rod on each side in the plastic to add more strength to it
It looks great !
Thank you!

Bravo 👏
Thank you!
That’s so good. Mine looks like a kindergartener high on glue did it. It’s awful. I have the gun style. Heats staples and irons plastic. In general what style is best? Most repairs would be automotive.
Very very good sir

Thank you!
What temp is the air?
Спасибо вам. Я у вас учись. Россия
Thanks for watching!
Can you do the same for tesla M3 tabs? My headlight is all good but tabs are broken :( Where are you located?
It is polypropylene with some additional material TD 20% >PP-TD20
The TD20 is a talc filler that has been added. So with PP-TD20, you've got a polypropylene with 20% talc filler. The talc filler makes the plastic brittle, which causes it to break cleanly. Broken tabs normally fit back on the part very tightly. Check out the section between 1:55 and 2:15 in this video to see an example = ruclips.net/video/flNmbXpUqz8/видео.html
Awesome job,👏👏👏. Do you offer this service if I need it done?
Thanks!
We're a factory in Alabama; we just supply body shops with the equipment to do repairs.
The best work I have ever seen 😱
