Repairing plastic parts, Rebuilding & Replacing

Repairing plastic parts take all kinds of shapes. What about that vintage dresser with the glass-front drawers that you inherited from Aunt Mildred. (Everyone has an Aunt Mildred, don’t they?) Maybe that old crack isn’t giving it ‘character’ so much as becoming safety hazard?

We can fix that for you, too!

Here you can see that we’ve found the perfect color of green textured acrylic and bent it specifically to the existing drawer-front. Good as new!

Industrial tanks have thousands of applications and each type has its own properties and purpose. Tanks can be a substantial investment in the infrastructure of your company, and a necessary expense if you have to replace them. But when the flange on your tank starts leaking, or is worn, or has grime in the seals, who do you call?

Us!

Because we can custom-fit new flanges, repair leaky tanks, even replace old and leaky fittings so you don’t have to replace your entire tank.
*Yes, it’s NOT the same flange & tank. It’s just an example?

Here, we used the original frosted glass bell to make a mold, then used it to form the plastic version. We fabricated the new parts with frosted acrylic and then buffed them to match the old parts. Side by side, the differences are obvious, but once hung, the new blended in beautifully with the old.

KAYAK REPAIR STEPS

Repairing plastic parts

The customer had a Kayak that someone cut a piece out of the bottom of the hull.  Luckily they still had the missing piece. We beveled both the hull and its missing piece. Then we tacked the missing piece back in place with a plastic welder. We didn’t have any welding rod that matched the boat so we used white to weld the piece back in place. The last thing we did was remove the extra welds and smoothed out the bottom of the hull.

Airstream Trailer Windows

We can fix that for you!

Here, you can see the old faded Airstream trailer window with a large break in it side by side with the new window that we created to replace it. It’s so shiny!

Airstream trailers have been traveling along American highways since the 1920s. They managed to maintain production through the Great Depression by providing a living space for families displaced. Only during World War II, when aluminum was at a premium, did they cease operations completely. After the war they came back and have grown in popularity ever since.

For a while Airstream built the trailers in Germany. When Airstream stopped making the trailers in Germany 700 plus owners were left without replacement windows.

The window had three thick layers making an air tight, twin wall, window that insulated the trailer.  Like most windows we get, it came in kit form and had to be taped back together with some large pieces missing. Because of the missing pieces we had to make molds before making the new windows.

We make hundreds of replacement windows and windshields.
