The most effective repair of plastic on the example of manual scissors, in which one of the handles broke due to excessive force. I will talk about a way to repair broken plastic products. This method will allow you to use them as intensively as before the breakdown.

What do we need


  • Cyanoacrylate glue (regular superglue, and best of all gel - it does not spread);
  • Paper tape;
  • Soldering iron;
  • A piece of stranded wire.

Pre-Bonding


First you need to restore the geometry of the broken handle. To do this, glue it with superglue, observing the rules of the work - the substance is applied to both surfaces, and after the start of the reaction with plastic, they must be pressed tightly to each other until completely hardened.

In order not to sit for several hours with scissors in our hands, we use paper tape to fix the broken handle.

Joint reinforcement


After the glue has dried, the scissors can be used, however, if you cut something with an effort, then they will most likely break again in the same place. To avoid this, it is necessary to perform reinforcement. To do this, we need to remove the insulation from the copper wire with a cross section of 2.5 mm and cut 1 cm from the edge. Then it must be placed on paper tape, gluing only half, and then attach in the center of the glued joint and stick to the scissors with the same tape. Thus, on one side of the fault, the wiring harness will not be closed by anything.

Next, with the help of a heated soldering iron, we begin to warm up the wires of the free edge, which, in turn, melt the handle and slowly plunge into it. Smooth the plastic over the wires with a soldering iron, aligning the traces of our interference.

After we repeat the procedure with the other edge of the tourniquet, after removing the adhesive tape. Wires should be completely immersed in plastic, no protruding wires should be left. At the end of the work, we align the entire surface of the site on which the reinforcement was performed.

Safety precautions


When working with a soldering iron, safety precautions should be observed - the part above the handle is very hot, and the tip has a melting point of tin and can cause severe burns in contact with skin.

Test

After the plastic has completely cooled, the scissors are ready for use. To test the strength of the connection, take a stick for sushi - it is made of wood and strong enough. To cut it, you have to make a lot of effort, however, the reconstituted compound in this experiment proved to be excellent, withstanding a fairly serious load.
Plastic restoration using reinforcement is a very simple procedure, but very effective. In any case, the scissors will now definitely not have to be thrown out.

      Before you carry the garbage, look at the scissor handles, and then think about what kind of nail you seem to melt!

    And why should an element glued with superglue be wrapped with adhesive tape? Superglue seizes in seconds ...

      If you can fix it and it’s not too expensive, then why not?
      And it happens that successful scissors come across ...
      And the purchase of new ones is still that lottery, outwardly very decent, they cut it in the store, and after a while at least throw it away!

    In any case, you must first know the composition of the material. If you take the Chinese, they are national teams. In one place you will break in another. Cutting is not bad. Not long ago, one of the comments made a slip of the tongue (I see it was hurried) how, I restored one ring, another is already approaching.
