Using PolyMorph For Plastic Repairs

Polymorph is an amazing strong plastic that melts at the boiling temperature and a household Kettle, and is handle-able almost straight out of the water.

Once heated the white polymorph beads become translucent and soft and can be moulded into just about any shape.  I use it all the time, its a bit like use hot glue, but only a lot stronger, and doesn't burn my fingers when I'm handling it.

I use it extensively in repairing cracked and shattered old plastic toys, robots and anything it will stick too.

Here are some video's of how I'm using it, which also show how to melt and apply it.  Watch all of them get get a great understanding on what you can be using it for.

Its also very cheap, and if you screw up using it, you just chuck it back into a cup of hot water and start again, its that simple.





Here are the videos showing how I've used it:

Removing Superglue From Uneven Plastic Surfaces - Part 1 The Experiment

This video is Part 1 of a 9 Part series Investigating Superglue Removal From Uneven Plastic Surfaces and has come about after many requests from subscribers to find a solution to the problem of spilling Superglue on their Android Phones, Tablets and Computers.  In this video I explain the experiment which undertakes to de-bond and remove the Superglue from my deliberately damaged Google Nexus 7 tablet back panel, leaving the minimum of mess or damage. #fixed1tresearch



If you haven't watched the video to the end ;-) then you will have missed the link to Part 2 in this experiment, don't worry I've put the link below:
