Liquid plastic for metal coating: how to make and why to use

Liquid plastic is a thing that may be ruled out useful during construction or repairs at your summer cottage. Of course, you can always purchase a similar protective compound at a hardware store. However, why bother when you can make your own liquid plastic from readily available ingredients and actually rubbish. Here's how to do it.

What you need: any ABS plastic, acetone, clean container

What is the use of liquid plastic on the farm? The purpose of this composition is only one - to perform a protective function for wood and metal products. This composition is strongly recommended to process products vulnerable to aggressive external environment. Plastic is able to protect surfaces from both oppressive sunlight and the harmful effects of water, which sooner or later will cause wood to rot or metal to rust.

Making liquid plastic isn't very difficult. For work, you need a suitable container. It is best if it is a glass jar. A liquid polymer is prepared on the basis of acetone, in which any ABS plastic dissolves, as a result of which a viscous, pliable mass is obtained. The ratio of ingredients should be as follows: 8 parts acetone to 2 parts plastic. It is best to use recycled materials. In this case, it is recommended to finely chop the plastic or cut it into thin strips. The dissolution of the material takes 1-1.5 hours in a completely closed container.

A protective composition is applied to the metal in the same way as any paint - with a brush. The protective coating will take 2 to 3 hours to dry. One layer will not be enough to protect metal products. The optimal number is 3. Each new layer is created after the previous one has dried. From above, the plastic can be coated with ordinary paint for decorative reasons. Such a coating is not afraid of heat or frost.
