FAQs

Can these staples be used with other brands of plastic welders?

No, these are specifically designed for the Sealey SDL14 and SDL15 welding repair kits.

What does the 0.8mm dimension refer to?

This refers to the diameter of the wire gauge used to construct the staples, providing the ideal balance of rigidity and heat absorption.

How many staples are included in the pack?

The pack contains 100 individual U-staples.

Do I need to sand the area after using these staples?

Yes, usually a light sanding is recommended after the plastic cools to ensure the surface is level and ready for body filler or paint.

Are these staples suitable for repairing metal parts?

No, these are exclusively for thermoplastic repair and will not bond or reinforce metal surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Staple does not heat evenly

Check the connection between the staple and the welding tool terminals to ensure a solid electrical contact.

Staple sinks too deep into the plastic

Reduce the heat application time; wait for the plastic to soften but not liquefy entirely.

Staple creates a weak bond

Ensure the plastic surface is thoroughly cleaned and that you are using the correct temperature setting on your welding tool.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Specifically designed for guaranteed compatibility with Sealey systems
  • Provides significant structural reinforcement to cracked plastics
  • Ample 100-count supply for frequent repair work
  • Standardized 0.8mm size is versatile for most automotive plastic repairs

Cons

  • Not compatible with generic or non-Sealey stapling tools
  • Requires proper heat control to avoid melting too deep into the plastic
  • Finished repairs may require sanding for a smooth surface aesthetic

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up for a repair, insert the RE08 staple into the heating element of your Sealey welding kit according to the tool manual. Ensure the base plastic surface is clean and free of paint or residue before application. Compatibility is strictly limited to the Sealey SDL14 and SDL15 units. For care, store the remaining staples in their original packaging to prevent deformation and moisture exposure. Ensure the heating tool tip is clean before initiating a new weld to prevent carbon buildup from weakening the joint.
