Step by Step!

Today we'll be using a #HotStapler to fix a cracked John Deere hood, on a #GX335 riding lawn mower.

This technique doesn't fuse the plastic together like #PlasticWelding would, instead, it uses metal staples to link the 2 pieces of plastic together.

To achieve penetration into the plastic, the tool uses electrical current to heat the Stainless Steel elements (this is why they're referred to as Hot Staples) which allows them to be pressed into the plastic.

By linking both pieces of plastic together, movement is eliminated. This increases the plastic's structural integrity, and prevents the crack from spreading further.

Combined with plastic welding, you could hypothetically achieve a fix that's stronger than the original plastic itself.
