FAQs

What type of plastic can these staples be used on?

These staples are generally suitable for most common thermoplastics used in automotive and consumer goods, provided they can be melted and fused. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.

Do I need a special tool to use these staples?

Yes, these staples require a compatible hot stapler tool. They are not designed for use with standard manual or electric staplers.

How many staples should I use for a repair?

The number of staples depends on the length and severity of the crack. Generally, space them evenly along the break line, typically 1-2 inches apart, to provide adequate reinforcement.

Can these staples be used for external repairs?

While they provide internal reinforcement, the goal is to embed them within the plastic. They are primarily intended for internal structural support, not for cosmetic external finishing.

Are these staples prone to rusting?

No, they are made of stainless steel, which offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making them suitable for long-term repairs.

What is the primary benefit of the U-shape design?

The U-shape allows the staple legs to penetrate deeper into the plastic on either side of the crack, providing a more secure and robust anchor point for reinforcement compared to flat staples.

Troubleshooting

Staple not embedding properly

Ensure the hot stapler is fully heated. Check that the staple is correctly seated in the stapler. Apply firm, consistent pressure to the plastic.

Plastic melting excessively around the staple

Reduce the heating time slightly before embedding. Ensure you are using the correct staple gauge for the plastic thickness. Practice on scrap material.

Staple is too loose after cooling

Re-heat the area slightly and press the staple in again. Ensure the plastic is clean and free from debris where the staple is applied.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These staples are designed for use with a compatible hot stapler tool. Ensure the hot stapler is correctly heated according to its manufacturer's instructions. Insert the U-shape staple into the designated slot on the hot stapler. Then, press the heated staple firmly into the plastic repair area, allowing it to melt and embed securely. For best results, use multiple staples spaced appropriately across the repair.

Compatibility: These staples are specifically designed for use with the Power-TEC Hot Stapler system. While they are for plastic repair, they are not compatible with standard stapling tools. The 0.8mm size is optimized for common automotive and consumer plastics.

Care: Store staples in a dry environment to prevent any potential corrosion, though stainless steel offers excellent resistance. Keep them away from direct heat sources when not in use. Clean your hot stapler tool regularly as per its manual to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
