Supplies

PickleBalls or any High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), a WasteFree23 Heat press..see the instructions on how to build a heat press for less $300 USD at wastefree23.org or on instructables. Tefllon, a mold, drill and 2" hole saw. That is it..easy!

Step 1:

place teflon sheets on the bottom of the heat press to keep the HDPE pickle balls from sticking as they are heated to 170c

Step 2:

Place broken pickle balls or any hdpe. At this low temperature the plastic does not "flow" very much so the plastic you place should be spread out.

Step 3:

close the press...it will take 5 to 15 minutes to soften the balls

Step 4:

add balls or parts of balls as needed to fiill most holes. Peal back the teflon sheets to inspect. Careful. it is hot!

Step 5:

Have a male mold ready. We used a 2" abs pipe ontop of a similar width piece of wood to make a U shape. Press tighly and hold for a few minutes as plastic cools
