Tools and Tips #1 from Applied Science----make money online

hello I really appreciate the patreon

contributions that you've made to my

channel it means a lot to me and so in

today's video I'd like to share with you

some of the tips and tricks that I've

used in the shop and hopefully they'll

be useful for you as well first up

you've probably seen these before just

standard cable ties but what you may not

have seen is the professional cable tie

installation gun that makes using these

a whole lot easier so the idea is that

you put the cable tie on loosely and

then use the gun and it automatically

tightens it and clips off the tail and

the gun is actually so powerful that it

has a tension adjustment here and if you

turn the tension adjustment too high it

will either break the wire tie if it's

you know small enough or it will crush

to death whatever it is you're tying

down so on the larger wire ties you can

turn up the tension and get quite a lot

of force on it these are super useful

you can buy this at mcmaster and also

Fry's Electronics and some other local

electronics stores have these I'll put

links into the description of all the

items that I mentioned in today's video

and these are all items that I've

purchased myself I'll always make it

very clear if manufacturers have sent me

something for review so this is my

favorite adhesive of all time

this is Devcon plastic welder and there

are other brands that call themselves

plastic welder but it's an entirely

different formulation and so you have to

get this one which is cream-colored it's

not clear it's a two-part adhesive as

you can see it comes in one of these

classic epoxy looking tubes but I don't

believe it's epoxy I think it's actually

a poly methyl methacrylate type adhesive

so an acrylic adhesive and even though

it's meant for plastics it's actually

quite good on anything else to metal

wood you know smooth surfaces rough

surfaces pretty much everything but the

fact that it bonds really well to most

plastics makes it really useful to have

around it has a pot life of about 5

minutes and is strong enough to handle

in about 30 minutes and maybe full cure

in about a day if I had to choose only

one adhesive to have in my tool kit it

would definitely be this one if I could

pick a second adhesive it would

definitely be 6,000 this is a very

flexible sort of adhesive and the MSDS

sheet makes it unclear

to what's actually in here the solvent

is perchloroethylene and I believe it's

just a clear elastomer dissolved in that

solvent so when you put this out on to

something the perchloroethylene helps it

dig into the surface so it's really good

for bonding to rubbers and other

plastics and it's a slow cure it takes

about a day or two or even longer if

you've got a really thick amount of it

but the nice thing is it's it's

high-tech and so it's it's easy to stick

things down and like you say it stays

flexible so if you're repairing a rubber

part it's quite good for that even

though the plastic welder will attach to

almost every kind of plastic out there

there's one or two notable exceptions if

you want to bond something to

polyethylene like the material that this

water jug is made out of this is very

difficult to glue because it's a low

surface energy plastic meaning the

chemical bonds that are exposed on the

surface here don't really react with

much and so it's hard to get an adhesive

to stick to them however there is a glue

that is specially made for this

application it's scotch well DP 8005

this is kind of an unusual adhesive it

has a ten-to-one mixed ratio and so it

comes in this weird kind of dual syringe

and it's it's quite expensive I believe

this tube is about twenty or thirty

dollars from McMaster but it does do an

amazingly good job of sticking to

plastics polyethylenes like this and you

can make a gas tight seal with this

adhesive on plastics like this not

coincidentally all of these three

adhesives smell extremely strongly when

you're mixing them up so you know

they're working really well I forgot to

add that the plastic welder is actually

easily machined and drilled after its

cured and so it's much less brittle than

typical epoxies makes it really

well-suited for repairing vintage

plastic parts or you can glue the part

back together and then machine away the

bits that you don't need this is a desk

lamp from Ikea that costs about ten or

fifteen dollars and it's got a warm

white LED here and an inline switch and

this is one of those products that seems

you know kind of marginally useful when

you first get it and then you start

using it and it's just so useful that

you'll want to have one of these on

pretty much every workbench that that

you use

it's sort of like having someone holding

a flashlight at just the right angle

kind of at all times and it's small

enough to stay out of your way so that

you can position this thing kind of up

close to where your head is and then the

light is always going in the right

direction kind of where your eyes are

pointed let's say you want to mount

something with a nut and bolt to a thin

plastic or metal sheet so for example

this pretend this is like the hull of a

boat you could put your nut and bolt

through the hole and then use a whole

bunch of silicone after it's tight to

make this a watertight seal but there's

actually another device that's meant

exactly for this application and that is

called a well nut so this is basically a

rubber a soft rubber a piece with a

brass nut sort of embedded into the

rubber and the idea is that you get one

that's sized for the hole that you need

and push it through like that and then

when we tighten down the screw it pulls

on the nut that's embedded in the rubber

and it's kind of tricky because we have

to keep the rubber from spinning however

as we tighten this down it's pulling the

well nut into a shape that forces the

rubber out and makes a tight seal with

the hole so you can actually use this

setup as just a plug if we don't attach

anything to it so if you drill a hole in

a bulkhead and then want to plug it up

temporarily you can put this well nut in

there and the expanding rubber will

create a nice tight seal if you're in a

real hurry there's a way to make hot

glue even quicker and dirtier than it

already is I actually love the stuff and

this this trick is not meant to be silly

this is actually very useful if you're

going to glue something that you need to

hold up in the air like for example see

how the glue is dripping off the piece I

can't set this down on the desk because

the hot glue is still molten so if we

want to make that hot glue freeze in a

hurry you can either use one of these

canned air dusters and just turn it

upside down to freeze the glue in place

or you can buy actual freeze spray so

now the piece is cold to the touch and

you can put this on the desk and you

have to worry about it dripping down on

the desk so if you're making you know

tons of wiring harnesses and you need to

put a drop of glue on each one to to

cover up some exposed and exposed

conductor or something like that making

the hot glue go even faster is actually

a very useful tip

if you're going to put threads into a

hole that you just drilled into material

there's you'll need a tap and there's

three basic kinds of tap there's a taper

tap where the tool is has about seven or

eight of these cutting threads tapered

down to the tip there's a plug tap that

only has three or four threads tapered

and as a bottoming tap that only has one

or two threads tapered and the idea is

that in difficult materials you would

start with the taper tap because it's

easier to get the tapping operation

started straight and then if you have a

blind hole where you want to put threads

all the way to the bottom of the hole

and you can't go through the material

you can switch over to a bottoming tap

which is much more difficult to get

straight to begin with but it cuts all

the way to the end

however in soft materials that are prone

to melting like plastic the rules are a

little bit different I actually don't

even have any taper taps in this small

size because the material is so soft

even even with a taper tap it's not

going to really start the hole that much

straighter and I find that with

materials especially like acrylic that

are prone to melting starting with a

bottoming tap is actually the best way

to go because all of the cutting happens

at those first couple threads whereas a

tap it's like this all the cutting is

distributed over this large area and a

lot of these partially formed thread

cutters just rub against the material

and creates way more friction so I

actually greatly prefer just starting

with a bottoming tap to make things go a

little faster you can actually Chuck

that bottoming tap right up into a drill

and you'll find after doing this a

little bit especially in materials like

acrylic that you'll be melting the

acrylic so what I like to do is get a

wash bottle of distilled water and put a

little bit of distilled water right on

the hole that I'm going to tap and then

just use the drill tap it like that

you'll find once you get a pretty good

rhythm going if you're tapping a lot of

holes that the water will start to boil

even a little bit which is fine it's

doing its job of cooling the situation

down for larger taps like this you'll

find that gripping it in the drill truck

may not work it may actually spin

because the torque required is just too

high so then what you can do is get one

of these

tap wrenches this one's made by Irwin

and you put the tap in this side and on

this side it's got a 3/8 square drive

and so then I put in a quarter inch hex

to 3/8 square drive adapter and then put

the quarter hex into the drill chuck so

this way there's a positive drive

there's no way this can slip and a lot

of these drills you can put them into

low gear and so when it's spinning along

it's actually a fairly slow rate of spin

but it has a lot of torque and then Kate

and then you'll probably want to use the

ratchet or the the clutch on your drill

so that you don't break a tap but you

can you can tap aluminum like this and

there's quite a lot of torque available

and the fact that this whole arrangement

is kind of wobbly is actually a side

benefit believe it or not when you're

doing a tap this big it's nice to have a

little bit of compliance here so that as

you're holding it just the wiggling of

your hand doesn't cause the tap to break

this will actually make your child a

little bit easier if you're still using

duct tape do yourself a favor and buy

yourself a role of gaffers tape it'll

this works in almost all the situations

in which duct tape is good however

gaffers tape is much easier to tear

cleanly than duct tape and yet

paradoxically it's also stronger when

it's being you know pulled apart like

this also the adhesive doesn't leave a

residue after being attached for you

know a week or two and you can put it

down and remove it and reapply and it

doesn't lose tack quite as much it's

also a matte finish and a bit thicker

than most duct tapes this is probably

the best double-sided tape that's made

with craft paper that I've ever used it

used to be called perma cell p95 and now

it's called neato and you can get this

tape along with any other kind of tape

just about at fine tape comm this stuff

is so

strong you can actually hold down a part

while you're milling it on a milling

machine so if your part has a lot of

surface area you can use a few pieces of

this and put the part down onto your

plastic spoil board or whatever aluminum

even and you'll generally have enough

tack to do light milling operations on

it so you can use this to hold down

other things in the shop stand paper

onto glass for doing flat sanding that

sort of thing it's quite expensive but

very well worth it one last one if

you're drilling large holes like greater

than say a quarter inch in diameter in a

brittle material like acrylic especially

it really helps to have a drill bit

that's purpose made for it so this drill

bit has a really sharp point angle on it

so it's not 135 degree it's actually a

90 degree point and it also has a zero

Degree rake angle so as you can see the

cutting surface here is almost 90

degrees from the part of the bit that

touches the work and this means that

when the bit breaks through the bottom

side of your brittle material it doesn't

crack it apart and try to pull the rest

of the bit through these are sold by tap

Plastics and you can also get them from
