Brilio.net - Plastic chairs are a piece of furniture that is often found in homes, offices and other public places. Even though they are quite popular because they are light, waterproof and easy to clean, plastic chairs also have a significant weakness, namely that they break easily. This usually happens when plastic chairs have been used for a long time.
One of the main reasons is because the basic material tends to be less flexible than other materials such as wood or metal. Plastics have a tendency to become stiff and brittle over time or subjected to repeated heavy stress. Additionally, environmental factors such as extreme temperatures, exposure to UV rays, or rough use can also speed up the process of plastic breakdown, causing cracks or fractures.
Basically, broken plastic chairs tend to be unfit for use, so many people will just throw them away. In fact, this broken chair can be repaired to make it stronger than before. There is a simple trick that can be done to repair a broken chair with simple materials.

How to use it is quite easy. First, apply glue to the broken part of the chair. After that, stick the two broken parts together and hold for a few seconds until the glue sticks. If so, add another drop of glue and sprinkle baking soda evenly over the broken part.
"Well, the function of baking soda is as a reinforcement, just like a builder mixing cement and sand. The cement is an adhesive, the sand is a reinforcement. So, baking soda has the same function as sand, to strengthen," explained YouTube SALDAMedia.

After sprinkling it with baking soda, apply glue to the broken part. Repeat this application of baking soda and glue several times until it covers the broken gap in the chair. Well, this process will also make the surface of the broken chair thick.
Then, to get a stronger result, do the process (applying glue and baking soda) on the opposite side of the chair. So, if at the beginning the broken part was glued from the outside, this time the glue is also from the inside. This will make the chair intact and sturdy again when the glue is dry.
"When it's dry, it connects well," he further explained.
