Covers from plastic bottles can become excellent raw material for the manufacture of a cutting board. They are safe for human health, since they are made of HDPE plastic, i.e. high-pressure polyethylene (PVD).
Need
Plastic covers are better chop in advance. This will allow you to quickly melt the raw materials and make it homogeneous, which will improve the quality of the product.
The following tools and devices will be needed for work:- Metal baking sheet;
- Wooden template with a slot;
- faulty hinged lock;
- Electric or gas oven;
- Two clamps on bolts;
- adjustable key;
- Hammer and screwdriver with flat sting;
- Abrasive bar, sandpaper, etc.
The process of manufacturing a cutting board made of plastic laying metal baking sheet, lubricated inside with vegetable oil, on a flat heat-resistant surface.
Closer to one of the narrow sides set the castle with a handling up.
We fall asleep into the shape of chopped plastic covers, evenly distributing them all over the area, and sealing with their hands. At the same time, we draw attention to the corners and the zone around the castle.
The thickness and density of laying plastic trifles should be there no less than in other places. Detected extraneous inclusions delete, incl. Sealing tabs from special plastic.
We place a baking sheet with the containers for a few minutes, preheated to 200-250 degrees in Celsius. As a result, raw materials melted, turning into a homogeneous fluid mass.
As soon as the plastic hardens, we spin and remove the clamps. In the slot between the walls of the shape and the template, I wake a sting of a screwdriver and disconnect them.
There is a cutting board from plastic ready. It remains to be processed. Initially, abrasive bars remove the influx and burrs around the edges.
