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:

  1. Construction hair dryer (you can use an alcohol lamp or a lighter).
  2. Plastic bottle.
  3. Scissors or knife.
  4. Bonding parts.

Connection parts

  1. As you can see, gluing holds well.

Test of strength

We use a spirit lamp or a lighter

We will use the same strips of plastic that were prepared in the first method.

Strips of plastic

Heat the plastic over the spirit lamp and let it melt to a fluid state.

Gray plastic

Such glue cools too quickly, so you need to prepare the parts for gluing in advance to quickly connect the elements with molten plastic.

Gluing parts

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.
