JOUNJIP Plastic Welding Kit Deluxe -UL Certified Plastic Welder 80W Iron- Professional Grade Plastic Repair Kit for Automotive Car Bumper, Kayak, Tank Repair

This welding kit is set up real well for plastic welding. The welder gets very hot and makes welding plastic much easier with better flow of the rods. I repaired a large black trash barrel (one with flip lid for trucks to raise up and flip over to deposit trash). My barrel ended up with about a 12 inch split of the lid from the back corner heading towards the middle. Needed to repair this crack or it was just going to get worse and these barrels aren't cheap. I used the silver tape, to seal the top side and then used the black polyplaz rods with the included wire mesh and larger triangle tip to weld and seal the underside. On the top side, I created a groove with my dremel tool along the crack and then used the boot tip with a PP black rod to fill in the groove and flattened the the plastic to create a relatively flat surface. I then used an orbital sander just to smooth out and to practice. It's ready for a quick paint (not needed but once again just to humor myself) and the trash barrel looks so much better and the lid is now rigid and feels like there never was a crack. With regards to customer service: When I got the box, I noticed it was missing the smaller triangle tip and I got a hold of customer service quickly. Jon was so helpful and said he would get a welding tip right out. He did and had the tracking number for me that day. If you are price comparing, I think you will see that this kit is much better quality and the items included deliver better bang for the buck. I added some photos to show work in progress. I will do some final touches to smooth out and blend some paint in (really not needed for this trash barrel but just to use some more tools! Pictures show the wire mesh on the rough underside but on the top you can blend in with the boot iron and fill the crack with the PP rod. Did some rough and medium sanding and it looks like a used trash barrel and is as strong as when it was new.

Excellent kit, been using it for over 2 years now and it gets the job done everytime and this was my first time doing plastic weld. The tip heats up in about 4 minutes and is ready to use but can get really hot and i have to be careful not to melt other plastic. The different heads are practical and allows or getting into corners

As others have mentioned, the 'foot' on this is made of soft metal and will bend very easily. I anticipated this when I started using the tool and was careful not to apply too much pressure. Even so, after about 15 minutes of use, the foot was noticeably bent. Another review had mentioned drilling a hole down the shaft and inserting a drill bit to stiffen the foot. This worked for me. I didn't solder the bit in place but rather just cut it so it sticks out slightly from the top of the shaft. That way, when the shaft is inserted into the recess in the end of the tool handle, the bit is captured and can't go anywhere. A 5/64 bit seems to be about the right size for this. I used it a fair bit after inserting the drill bit with no sign of bending. I think this is a permanent fix. I'm giving it 4 stars because I anticipated I might have to make this fix. I looked around for higher quality tools that wouldn't require the fix and found them to be priced at least twice what this one. The rest of the tool seems to be good quality and there's a decent supply of plasting welding material supplied. If you're willing to put in a bit of work and sacrifice a drill bit to fix the foot, this would make a useful tool for a modest price. Without the drill bit fix, I don't think I would get much use out of it before the foot broke off or became so bent that it's hard to use.

The Jounjip welder worked so much better than JB Weld. My wife dropped the cordless blower which cracked the end near the motor. I applied a thick coating of JB Weld original on the inside and out and then let it cure for two days-popped apart when placed back on the blower. Jounjip with wire mesh and other areas with just the weld stick held up perfectly. Temperature was 500+ degrees and easily melted the HTPE ABS and the plastic fill rod. Glad I got it during the Black Friday sale.

The tool is basically the same as a low wattage soldering iron or woodburning tool. But that's a good thing. Because it's simple. It's a rugged, time-tested design. And if you've used any of those tools - using this is very much the same. The kit is well arrayed. There's a standard bent-metal heating iron rest. It works but leaves everything exposed (hot) and if you have kids or pets that like to get close while you work, you have to be careful around the unit when it's hot. I always just use an empty soda can on its side. Works like a shield and rest. The kit includes aluminum tape which you usually see on automotive plastics that come near heat. This is listed as "repair tape" to be used to hold seams together while you're making repairs. There are a couple strips of stainless steel screen. These are intended to be permanently melted into the plastic across any cracks as reinforcing mesh. Some strips of polypropylene and rods of polyethylene are included. You can buy strips or rods of other plastics like LDPE and HDPE online if you need to repair those types of plastics. The included tips screw into the head both for good heat transfer and strength. There are flat "ironing" tips for melting and smoothing plastic. And there "welding tips" with a 1/8 inch hole that allows you to feed plastic "rods" directly to the repair as you apply the heat to melt and weld the plastic. The keys to a good repair are (1) making sure you're using the right plastic for your repair strip/rod. Polypropylene will not make successful repairs on HDPE for instance. and (2) getting a good melt (so don't move the tip too quickly). There's a wirebrush and some sandpaper which you'll use if the plastic item you're repairing has junk or embedded dirt. These are standard things you can get anywhere as they wear out. All in all, I've made some successful repairs on a Polypropylene cup holder in my UTV and a couple HDPE repairs on a plastic wheelbarrow body. Pleased with the purchase. I think you will be too, with a little practice.

Tool works fantastic. Surprisingly plastic doesn't stick to heating end. Easy to use when folowing instructions. Use light pressure, let it slowly melt in. For those that managed to break or bend the tool. Let the tool do the work. Let it warm up, it doesn't get to proper operating temperature instantly once plugged in. and expect it to be ready to use, give it time.

Muy satisfecho con la compra cumplió mi espectativa, al reparar mi facial de mi auto quedó genial y los accesorios que trae son geniales

My Hyundai Elentra's fog light got separated from the bumper; my search regarding how to fix it, led me to buy a plastic welding kit. This product looked durable and well-designed and specifically stated that I can fix car bumpers with it. I was able to fix the fog light holders (three of them) with the ingredients in the kit. I am quite happy with the result. I also happily found out that they also have great customer service. I recommend this product to others.

This seems to work as promised. Heats up well and its fantastic to have the mesh/plastic sticks to use. Check out You Tube for the many instructional videos that will ensure you have great results. My 1 job so far seems to be repaired properly.

Not hoping for any awards for my work. But for a first time user. The welder kit worked as advertised. And I think I just might get another season outta the old girl (my garbage can) before I need to replace her. Things I learned: Take more time shaping the mesh to the surface. You can see on the right side with the ridges - really looks like a dogs breakfast. I was fighting with the mesh a lot there. Left side, I did in small sections at a time. With more attention to cutting and shaping to the contours with the mesh. Easy recommendation.
