Default Re: Glue problem

Thanks for the suggestion, but if you look at the bottom of the page, next to the "*", it says "bonds to most plastics...".
These headphones fall into the "what kind of plastic is this?" category. I need something that will weld the plastic and not react with it.

Any other suggestion? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Thanks
Andy

Default Re: Glue problem

I used my plastic welder to fix the Chrysler headphones that came with the built-in DVD player in our 300. My kids have slammed the car doors on them enough times that they were crunched into oblivian. No glue really holds them so I just used the plastic welder (really just a soldering iron with a flat tip) and melted them back on to the metal head band.

They are still holding up after several re-repairs over 7 years.

It sure beats paying another $300 for a new pair from Chrysler.

Here's the one I have. You can buy different plastic welding rods depending on what you have (probably ABS) but a lot of times you don't even need the welding rod, you just heat and smear the existing plastic back over the cracked area.
