Your child snapped an arm off his favorite toy soldier and is in tears...what to do? Grab a butter knife and heat the blade over a flame until it's very hot. While holding the pieces together, immediately run the knife over both broken ends of the toy and hold the parts together for a few seconds until cool. Conducted through the metal, the heat won't burn the plastic but will melt it just enough so the pieces fuse together. Neat trick!Tuesday, January 5, 2010
