How to fix broken plastic - step by step instructions on plastic welding - fixed door handle

Plastic welding can be messy but it is strong and a viable solution for repairing broken plastic. Sometimes its stronger than the original.

Bro you are a genius, and you've made it look so easy. As someone who's never soldered or welded before, this seems very doable now, and I'm gonna try it out on my vw campervan's broken handle. Time to order a soldering iron. Thanks for your help!

It's a shame that such a part needs a repair, but what a good job you did! Thanks for the demonstration!

I repaired my oven door handle using this method. Worked perfectly. A little tedious, but it is as strong as it needs to be.
Thanks!

Absolute legend!
The exact same thing happened in my motor.
P.s your pronunciation of the word Poke is phenomenal.
Thanks again man

Back in the 70's I used to make my tank models with a solder gun, not sure why its suddenly a new idea to repair plastic with an iron.

[@ecologicaltime]

definitely not new. Apparently its been around since the 70's by a guy who made tank models :) (my role is just to demonstrate)

RUclips wasn't around in the 70's to share the knowledge with others.
