Plastic Welder worked great for me. Oct 30, 2009
By Hus Rugova
I bought this plastic welder to try to repair the bumper cover on my mercedes e55. my bumper was torn about 18" running horizontally across the bottom of the bumper and my fog light housing was cracked from top to bottom. my bumper was in bad shape. the body shop wanted $600 to repair and repaint the bumper and wouldn't guarantee their repair and bondo. they wanted to rivot a piece of sheetmetal or hard plastic to the rip and use filler to smooth it out. i actually didnt have to use any kind of filler, i melted extra plastic and shaved the excess down.... the mercedes dealer wanted $1200 for a new bumper cover and then painting it was extra... i decided to take a chance and repair it myself. i watched the dvd and scanned the book real quick and got to work. i had my dremel tool ready, shaved and cleaned the edges as per instructions. i used strips of that stainless steel mesh and the long plastic melting rods, melted it into the plastic and sanded the excess plastic off to blend into the bumpers finish..once the joints cooled off i pulled and twisted the repair and it was very very strong, actually i was amazed how it fused the plastic back to its original shape...i then took my bumper to a body shop to have it sanded and painted, the body shop guy charged me $250 for the paint job. i know to some people it might seem stupid that i did all that work to save $100 or $200. but i know the repair on my bumper is very strong and i highly doubt it would break on that location again. my time invested was really for the piece of mind. ohh, i also made new mounting tabs for my foglights and they are now sitting very tight.. i rated this kit 5 stars because it exceeded my expectations and i would recommend it to any hobbyist or professional.. good luck, Hus.

plastic welder Jan 30, 2010
By Ronald J. Lapierre
Having been an autobody tech for 48+yrs.,I have tried several other plastic welders in our shop with some success.The mini-weld comes with case/filler rods for each type of plastic being repaired/instructional DVD/temperature control for each plastic.Even our youngest apprentice has had 100% success with this welder.
Good product-great price,very happy with this welder.Also bought one for my home use saving me 100's of dollars on repairing a holding tank on my motorhome rather than replace.I highly recommend this welder!

Paid for itself first use. Feb 12, 2010
By M. GALLOWAY
"RotoMech"
I had a Poly tank on one of our sweepers that the manufacturer wanted $1600.00 dollars to replace (labor not included). An aftermarket was not available. I decided to do the repair ourselves but was skeptical about the success of it considering the extensive damage. I had looked at reviews of different plastic welders and decided that the Urethane Supply (URE5600HT) Mini-Weld Model 6 Airless Plastic Welder would be the best choice. The tank had a severe crack 30 inches long in a corner section. Using the supplied rod and mesh along with an extra order of Polyethylene Rod we were able to finish the repair in about an hour and a half. This product was extremely easy to use and the repair has held beautifully with 300 gallons of water in the tank. Instructions are straight forward and well worded. I would recommend this product to anyone considering doing their own plastic repair as it covers most thermoplastic projects.

pays for it self Jan 24, 2010
By R. Walther
Payed for it self after the first use. In a couple of hours I repaired $140.00 worth a parts on my atv & a intake duct on a F650 truck. Was suprised how easy it was to repair mounting tabs & pegs. DVD helped a lot. Kit has every thing you need but colored rods for atv fenders.
