HOW TO PLASTIC WELD
BOOT ON GRASS CATCHER
· USING THE MINI-WELD MODEL 6 PLASTIC WELDER
I was unable to find the price of this item.
It cost around $15 to fix.
1. Make sure work area is clean and well ventilated. Use caution when using the mini-weld plastic welder. The plastic welder is hot and can burn you and can cause a fire.
2. Set the plastic welder to pre heat and set welder in stand.
3. Clean the part to be welded.
4. There is a large missing piece of plastic.
5. I looked for a symbol on this part, I couldn’t find one. So I used the uni-flex welding rod the color match was ok and it sticks to a lot of different types of plastic.
6. Set the heat of the welder to uni-flex welding rod.
7. I put stainless steel mesh (this comes with the mini-weld model 6 kit) to fill the void.
8. First I spot welded the mesh in place.
9. Then I adjusted the mesh to fit the void.
10. I used uni-flex fiber rod to fill void.
11. I filled the void on front and back. The stainless steel wire mesh will give the break more strength. Let the heat from the plastic welder do most of the work for you.
12. Try to smooth out the weld as much as possible.
13. Using a wet rag. Cool the welded part and began to sand it down.
14. I use 60 grit sand paper at the start. This should take most of the bumps down. Then I go to 180 grit sand paper to make it smooth.
15. Now I make sure the part fits back on the mower. If it doesn’t I can either sand it more or use the welder to make adjustments to part. If you would like to see befor and after pictures go to kandjwarehouse.com
