DIY TRIPOD FIX: HOW TO FIX THE BROKEN PLASTIC PIECES OF A TRIPOD

DIY TRIPOD FIX: HOW TO FIX THE BROKEN PLASTIC PIECES OF A TRIPOD

Today is a sad day... I BROKE MY TRIPOD. 😭 So I'm here to share with you guys a TRIPOD DIY fix that actually WORKS.

  • Step 1
  • Prepare a clean work surface. Work in a well ventilated room to avoid the toxic fumes from melted plastic and metal. Wear heat-resistant gloves to avoid burns.
  • Step 2
  • Take your J-B Weld Clear SuperWeld Glue and glue the broken pieces together. Make sure you apply enough glue to both halves of the plastic pieces. Then wait ten seconds.
  • Step 3
  • Turn on your soldering iron. Take a piece of metal wire place it over the where the plastic cracked in half. We are going to reinforce the pieces with metal so that they do not come apart. I used an old wire from a speaker. SEE VIDEO BELOW.
  • Step 4
  • Move the iron back and forth over the crack to melt the edges and bind the wire to the plastic.
  • Step 5
  • Once you have soldered the entire length of the crack you're done. Wait still the plastic is cooled it only requires a few seconds.




I decided to not look for parts on eBay and just buy two new tripods. The two that I am look at is below.

These are the product that I used in the video.

Walnut Hollow Creative Versa Tool with Versa-Temp Variable Temperature Control & 11 Woodburning Points (Tips)
