There are times when something is urgently required to be glued or fixed, and hot melt adhesive is not at hand. But there is a simple way out - to make it yourself from an ordinary plastic bottle.
What is needed
What is necessary for the preparation of glue:
- Construction hair dryer (you can use an alcohol lamp or a lighter).
- Plastic bottle.
- Scissors or knife.
- Bonding parts.
Step-by-step instructions for using a hairdryer
The procedure is as follows:
- Cut the bottle into stripe blanks with scissors.
- Put a piece of the workpiece in the place of gluing the parts and begin to heat it with a hairdryer
- Wait for the plastic preform to melt
- Quickly lay up the second bonded part and press it down.
- As you can see, gluing holds well.
We use a spirit lamp or a lighter
We will use the same strips of plastic that were prepared in the first method.
Heat the plastic over the spirit lamp and let it melt to a fluid state.
Such glue cools too quickly, so you need to prepare the parts for gluing in advance to quickly connect the elements with molten plastic.
Wait for the connection to cool.
Such an adhesive option is perfect for wood, cardboard and other porous surfaces. But they will not be able to glue rubber and various soft materials.
Precautionary measures
When using thin strips of plastic, it must be borne in mind that they are very flexible, which means you should use this method as carefully and carefully as possible so as not to get a burn.
This affordable method will help in an emergency and can provide an unlimited supply of glue.
