Interesting the development/evolution of horse shoeing. Plastics/composites offer so many more options for shoeing a horse than the clunky old horse shoes...and I would imagine a better way to treat hoof issues. Thanks for the tips on the heat guns...

I agree, and I believe this is only the beginning, there are going to continue to be more and more options as more people see what is possible and much it can help benefit the horse.

Hi Chris, Could you please tell me where you get the urethane strips you used? I saw in one of your other videos that you added material to the back of a shoe with a similar strip. Did you use the same material for that? Thank you for your wonderful informative videos and willingness to share them and respond to questions!

Hey Brooke . They are cut into 3/4 inch strips from a clear castle plastic 1/8” urethane pad. I have video I made on plastics welding that is on EasyCare’s KZitem channel. I need to add that video to my channel.

Hi Chris, Can you guide how to weld plastic component with foam ?Is it possible with heat gun and at what temperature?

It is a very different process . Plastic welding foam is generally not recommended or commonly practiced because foam has a different structure and properties compared to solid plastics. However, there are specific methods and materials designed to join foam materials effectively. These methods include: Hot Air Welding: Similar to plastic welding, hot air welding can be used for certain types of foam, like closed-cell polyethylene foam. The process involves heating the foam surfaces and pressing them together to form a bond. Adhesives: Using specialized adhesives designed for foam materials is often a more practical approach. These adhesives are formulated to bond foam without damaging its structure. Heat Sealing: This method involves applying heat and pressure to join foam sheets or components. It is commonly used for thin foam materials like those found in packaging. Ultrasonic Welding: While less common, ultrasonic welding can be used for certain types of foam, particularly when precise and clean joints are needed. Solvent Welding: Certain solvents can dissolve the surface of foam materials, allowing them to be joined when pressed together. However, this method requires careful selection of solvents to avoid damaging the foam. Mechanical Fastening: For thicker or more rigid foams, mechanical fasteners such as clips, staples, or rivets can be used to join pieces together. When considering joining foam materials, it's crucial to select a method that maintains the integrity and properties of the foam. The choice of method will depend on the type of foam, the specific application, and the desired strength and appearance of the joint.

This is what found on line , you will have to experiment so many different types of foam. Selecting the best adhesive for foam depends on the type of foam and the specific application. Here are some of the top adhesives commonly used for bonding foam: 3M Super 77 Multipurpose Adhesive: Ideal for: Various types of foam, including open-cell and closed-cell foams. Features: Quick-drying, strong bonding, and versatile for different materials. Gorilla Original Gorilla Glue: Ideal for: High-density foams and other materials. Features: Expands as it cures, creating a strong bond; waterproof and temperature resistant. Foam Lock Spray Adhesive: Ideal for: Upholstery foam and fabric. Features: Provides a strong, permanent bond and is specifically designed for foam. Loctite PL 300 Foamboard Adhesive: Ideal for: Foamboard insulation and other rigid foams. Features: Low VOC, strong initial tack, and long-lasting bond. Beacon Foam-Tac Adhesive: Ideal for: Model building and craft foam. Features: Flexible bond, dries clear, and works well on various foam types. Aleene’s Original Tacky Glue: Ideal for: Craft foam and lightweight applications. Features: Thick consistency, strong bond when dry, and non-toxic. DAP Weldwood Contact Cement: Ideal for: High-strength bonding of foams to various surfaces. Features: Instant bond upon contact, resistant to moisture and heat. E6000 Craft Adhesive: Ideal for: Craft projects with foam and other materials. Features: Industrial strength, flexible, and waterproof bond. When selecting an adhesive, consider the type of foam you are working with (e.g., open-cell, closed-cell, polyurethane, polystyrene) and the specific requirements of your project (e.g., strength, flexibility, drying time). Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for the best results.

What about a plastic welder ?

Plastic welder works great for plastic I’m using a urethane rubber predominantly in my occupation so it mostly involves melting the two pieces together and a heat gun that can concentrate the heat to small area does the trick really well.
