Beginners' Guide to Melting HDPE - How to Make a Recycled Plastic Pen

💚 A huge thank you to The Brotherhood:   / brothersmake  
♻️ Check out our recycled plastic store: https://www.brothersmake.com/shop

In this video we go through all the tips and tricks that we've picked up when looking for, processing, melting and working with HDPE. This is an incredibly versatile material that melts at a low temperature with no toxic fumes. This is more of a 'how-to' than some of our previous videos but if you want to skip the informative stuff and get right to the making: 3:53

** the Patreon pen giveaway is now closed. Thanks to all our new patrons and congrats to Dave.G.Designs for winning! **
