About ten days ago, my wife gave me a repair challenge. The handle of her little bag umbrella broke when it dropped and she couldn't use it anymore.
She loves it because it's so light and takes up so little space, so she asked me to see if I could fix it, and I accepted the challenge.
See my first post on this subject:

Here are the photos of the broken handle again.
Il y a une dizaine de jours, ma femme m'a donné un challenge de réparation, la poignée de son petit parapluie de sac s'est cassée en tombant et elle ne pouvait plus l'utiliser.
Elle l'aime beaucoup car il est très léger et prend peu de place, elle m'a donc demandé de voir si je pouvais le réparer, j'ai accepté le challenge.
Voir mon premier post à ce sujet:

Je remets les photos de la poignée cassée.
Above is a short video of the result, which has been validated by my wife.
I'll detail the repair steps, the pictures are below.
As planned, I used a plastic dissolved to obtain a strength and continuity that couldn't be obtained with glue or resin.
I had a few problems finding the right plastic; I'd planned to use an old notebook shell, but it wouldn't dissolve in acetone.
The ideal plastic for this is ABS, its recycling code is 7, but in this category, which corresponds to "others", you can find plastics that don't dissolve, like the shell I mentioned.
If there are no markings, you can rely on the physical characteristics of the plastic, which must be hard and clearly breakable.
Always test with a small piece of plastic and acetone in a glass jar.
Remember to protect yourself and carry out the experiment in a ventilated area.
I wasn't able to create a mold, so I cut a strip of flexible cardboard to insert into the handle, which will support the layers of dissolved plastic I'll apply to it.
You can see the slots that will ensure continuity with the central fins.
I then applied successive layers of dissolved plastic of pasty consistency using a small wooden utensil, in this case a knife from a disposable set.
This is the difficult part, as the surface dries very quickly, and the surface is rounded, so the result isn't perfect, but the main goal isn't aesthetic, it's functional.
After drying, I removed the cardboard, and eliminated the remaining glued parts by soaking the handle in water and scraping a little.
Then I added a thin layer of plastic on the inside to consolidate, especially around the fins.
Finally, I sanded the base to level it.
On the last photo, you can see that the repaired part is a little thicker.
Challenge met and passed!
This repair cost nothing, just a few milliliters of acetone and some recycled plastic salvaged from a garbage can.
French Version
Ci dessus une petite vidéo du résultat qui a été validé par ma femme.
Je vais détailler les étapes de la réparation, les images sont au dessus.
Comme prévu j'ai utilisé une dissolution de plastique afin d'obtenir une résistance et une continuité qu'on ne pourrait pas obtenir avec une colle ou une résine.
J'ai eu quelques problèmes pour trouver le bon plastique, j'avais prévu d'utiliser une vieille coque de notebook mais, il ne se dissolvait pas dans l'acétone.
Le plastique idéal pour cela est l'ABS, son code de recyclage est le 7 mais dans cette catégorie qui correspond à "autres" on peut trouver des plastiques qui ne se dissolvent pas comme la coque dont j'ai parlé.
Si il n'y a pas de marquage, ont peut se fier aux caractéristiques physiques, le plastique doit être dur et cassable de manière nette.
Il faut toujours faire un test avec un petit bout de plastique et de l'acétone dans un bocal en verre.
Pensez à vous protéger et à réaliser l'expérience dans un endroit ventilé.
Je n'ai pas pu créer un moule et j'ai donc découpé une bande de carton souple afin de l'insérer dans le manche, c'est le support des couches de plastique dissous que j'appliquerai dessus.
Vous pouvez voir des fentes qui assureront la continuité avec les ailettes centrales.
J'ai ensuite appliqué des couches successives de plastique dissous de consistance pâteuse à l'aide d'un petit ustensile en bois, ici un couteau qui vient d'un set jetable.
C'est la partie difficile car ça sèche très vite en surface, et la surface est arrondie, donc le résultat n'est pas parfait, mais l'objectif principal n'est pas esthétique il doit être fonctionnel.
Après séchage, j'ai enlevé le carton, et éliminé les parties restantes qui étaient collées en trempant le manche dans de l'eau et en grattant un peu.
Puis j'ai rajouté une fine couche de plastique à l'intérieur pour consolider, surtout au niveau des ailettes.
Pour finir j'ai poncé la base pour la mettre à niveau.
Sur la dernière photo on peut voir que la partie réparée est un plus épaisse.
Voilà, challenge relevé et réussi !
Cette réparation n'a rien couté, quelques millilitres d'acétone et du plastique recyclé récupéré dans une poubelle.
