[Wayback/Archive] EASY way to FIX Plastic THREADS !! #screw #repair #plastic – YouTube

  1. Around the screw, wrap a thin metal wire that exactly matches the thread groove width of the screw creating a metal thread.
  2. Heat the screw with metal wire thread, then force it into the broken plastic thread.
  3. Wait for it to cool down.
  4. Unscrew the screw from the metal wire thread.
