Questions & Answers
Yes, it will work if it is one of our older welders; if it is a traditional soldering iron, it may work. The issue will be with the tip size; if it isn't large enough, you won't be able to move the melted material around as easily as you need to, and the tip temperature will be much higher, potentially causing the material to burn. I'd recommend using one of the old urethane supply welders with the flat round tip, which were 80 watts, or the 5210 FiberFlex repair kit, which has a 200 watt element and a flat teardrop welding tip.
Yes, it can be used on any plastic, including high-density polyethylene.
That is only available in black, I'm afraid. R10- is the correct part number. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our products.
Hello! It's made in the United States of America, specifically in Alabama. This item is the same as 5003R10. It's just a part number that hasn't been updated in a long time.
Selected User Reviews For FiberFlex Plastic Welding Rod, Flat Ribbon, 30 ft., Black
All I can say is that I am extremely happy. After a deer strike shattered my lower bumper (fiber reinforced bumper) on my Prostar, I welded it back together with these rods. Someone backed into us again two weeks later, causing the bumper to crack again. I was surprised to discover that none of the welds had cracked, but that it had cracked in unexpected places. I welded it up in all the new spots, smoothed everything out, and re-painted it. I repainted it. Now everything is in order.
This material is effective in general. It was able to "stick" to some hard plastic that I was attempting to repair in a reliable manner. Unfortunately, it didn't last as long as I had hoped (hard? Tough? Are you hard to break? From reading the manufacturer's description (on Urethane Supply's website), I had expected it to be just like that. Stress caused the item I was repairing to break off at its original location. Obviously, this was not a product flaw, as the original item had broken due to stress at the same location, and I had assumed from the description that the product would be much tougher than the polypropylene or polyethylene I had tried to repair. It adheres to the substances in the manner stated - The fiber flex substance did not tear away from the host item even though it broke at the stress point.
After an A-frame, these rods and their steel mesh are still holding my RZR's floor together. It was ripped apart by the strength of one's arm. Three years in a row.
This, along with the welder, is an excellent tool for repairing cracked dashboards, plastic bumpers, and other similar items. I have already refurbished my old dashboard and saved hundreds of dollars. I'd tried to do the job before with JBweld and other epoxy products, but they couldn't get a good grip on the base material and began to lift soon after. If you want it done right, this is the way to go.
It's a great deal, and it's less expensive than the hardware stores.
FiberFlex is the material to have on hand if you do any plastic welding because it is so versatile; you can patch up just about anything with it, and it works well with reinforcement materials such as mesh screening and other similar materials. It's a must-have if you want to put things back together.
It did a fantastic job of repairing my bumper cover.
THANK YOU.
