DANGER: Step 5.1.1 must be performed in a well ventilated area (out of doors if possible). Never perform task in a domestic
building. Safeguard against fire. Wear safety gloves and face mask. DO NOT inhale smoke.
5.1.2.
Set light to the sample with a naked flame. If the flame gives off black smoke it is (almost) certain to be ABS.
5.1.3.
By sample, take a strip of material from an unobtrusive part of the component and use it as your welding rod.
5.1.4.
If in doubt, contact the item manufacturer.
5.2.
WELDING THE MATERIAL
5.2.1.
Remove any paint or other covering from the entire adjoining surface areas of the piece to be welded.
5.2.2.
Cut a chamfer on adjoining pieces to form a groove that can be filled with weld.
5.2.3.
Thoroughly pre-heat both surfaces to be welded (they should be soft but not tacky).
5.2.4.
Attach tip 2 (fig.1.2) to position the tip over the material to be welded and feed the welding rod through the slot at the same
time moving the device along the groove at a speed according to the melt/adhesion rate.
5.2.5.
A good connection is made when a small dome forms (a trial is always recommended using an odd piece of material). With
practice, a good flat weld can be achieved by applying pressure on the nozzle as the rod is drawn along. Overlapping materials can
be removed with a sharp knife.
5.3.
WELDING PROBLEM CHECKLIST If a weld fails ask yourself the following questions:
5.3.1.
Do the materials match?
5.3.2.
Are both surfaces clean?
5.3.3.
Are surfaces chamfered?
5.3.4.
Have surfaces been pre-heated correctly?
5.3.5.
Did the welding rod melt to the correct consistency?
5.4.
IMPORTANT NOTES.
5.3.1.
To weld over cracks in the material, drill approximately 1/16" diameter holes at each end of the crack to prevent running during
welding and sanding.
5.3.2.
Handling the welding tips - The tips get very hot and should only be removed by the plastic base when cool enough to do so.
5.5.
USING THE STAPLE ATTACHMENT (FIG 1.3)
5.5.1.
Choose a suitable heating repair pin and place it in the tip of the stapler.
5.5.2.
Keep the stapler perpendicular to the damaged surface.
5.5.3.
Press the switch button on the grip for 5 to10 seconds until the pin is hot enough to weld. Then press the pin gently against the
damaged surface.
5.5.4.
When the pin is half way into the plastic material stop pressing and release the power button. Wait for a few seconds until the repair
becomes firm.
5.5.5.
Once plastic has cooled and staple is fully secure, pull stapler gun gently back to release.
5.5.6.
If the damaged surface is very long or wide, insert extra pins, 1/2 inch apart.
5.5.7.
Cut off the pins with a side cutter, then grind the remains of the pin with a sander/grinder.
DO NOT press the repair pins too hard as it may penetrate the plastic too far.
