Many different kinds of plastics are used during the manufacturing process of all kinds of items around us in everyday life, such as tanks, kitchen appliances, vehicle parts, electronic casings, and many more items.

That is why plastic welding is becoming a very well known trade. If any of the plastic items around you are broken or cracked and in need of being replaced, you can just simply repair them at a fraction of the price it would cost you to replace the broken piece.

There are so many great things a plastic welder can help you with. Plus, plastic welding kits can be purchased rather cheaply. I have seen a plastic welding kit under one hundred dollars many times. You can purchase them over the internet and save a good deal of money as well.

I would also recommend you purchase a plastic welder that offers heat control. If you decide to go with the cheapest, they don't all offer that feature. Either way, always be sure not to burn the plastic you are repairing and remember to make the repair process easier by removing the plastic that needs to be repaired if possible.

You should always let your broken or cracked part cool before painting or replacing it, or testing to see if your work holds up. If you don't, you may break or damage the part even more.

Now that you have figured out your new welder and fixed your broken or cracked plastic part, it is time to paint it. Everyone wants their work to not only be done right, but to look good as well. I would recommend using 150 grit sand paper, and make sure you use primer before painting the entire surface. You also need to follow the proper manufacturer's instructions when painting plastic items. 

Another very important thing to remember is, be carful and take your time; when you are using a welder of any kind it can be dangerous. Also, it is not recommend for kids to try. Lastly, always let the welder cool before putting it away.
