What you need: unnecessary toothbrush, candle (or lighter)

In fact, the procedure for fixing a crack on a plastic bucket or on most other products of this kind is not too tricky. Before starting work, you should clean and wipe the bucket from all kinds of dirt. You can only do this in the place where the crack has formed.

After that, a lighter is taken into the hands, or better a burning candle. Then an unnecessary brush is substituted by the edge of the handle under a burning flame so that it begins to melt, but not burn and char. As soon as the plastic starts to flow, you must immediately extinguish the flame and transfer the brush to the crack.

Then everything is extremely simple - we cover the crack with hot plastic. If there is not enough fused plastic or it has time to cool down, then re-ignite the fire and repeat the procedure to the bitter end. As a result, it turns out that the viscous plastic will tightly seal the crack. When it cools down, it will be completely sealed and the bucket can be reused.
