Q Bond

[Trav]

I tried this a couple of days ago and it really impressed me, this is some good stuff!
This product is inexpensive as it gets for what you get, 2 bottles of super type glue that are full to the top with glue (not just a tube in a bigger container).
2 bottles of powder that are full and 2 nice caps with built in needles to open the bottles and cap it with the needle in place.

I repaired a $300 grill with a broken tab, at first i was skeptical when i put the glue on but as soon as you sprinkle a little powder it goes off in 10 seconds and is rock solid.
Putting it on some plastic scrap had the same result but i deliberately tried to break it after 30 min, i broke it but not at the repair. Amazing.

Anyone who knows my post knows i don't go for gimmicky trash and cheap $hit that doesn't work. This product is better than advertised, get some you wont regret it.

This is the stuff and what they do in this video only touches the surface, its not a phony video i tried this out. No i'm not selling it or a paid poster. LOL

Thanks for the tip!

 

[brslds]

i definitely need this.

Thanks Trav. Never hear of this and don't know if ever need it, but will have this in a list of useful gadgets for future reference.

I've got some at the shop that I keep to repair things that I can't replace or can't get in a decent time.

Wanted to add again I am thinking this is perfect for those plastic clips that break sometimes on car interiors. There are 3 clips worn or almost broke that this would perfectly repair.

I have no doubt after doing the grill tab it will fix them just as well. I was using some other stuff from SEM that is great but its has a very short shelf life (30 days even in its UV resistant foil bag) and needs a special gun to apply it which i have.
This stuff will last 2 years unrefrigerated and from what i see works just as well if not better at half the price. I'm sold!

I have kept our Cuisinart food processor working with this chemical. I also fixed my tripod with it. I thought I had made topic on it in the past. Recommended!!

For the cheap (like me) it's just superglue and bicarb. The branded stuff is very good quality, but for general around the house repairs dollar store superglue and food grade bicarb is very nearly as good.

Superglue and bicarb works, but this I believe is a higher concentration of the active glue agent. I use another brand, MXBON I think, and I believe it is the same as this Q Bond. Good results. I was told to keep it in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.

Like oils (see what I did there), superglues are blended depending on application and there is a big variation in base monomer quality and composition. You will almost always get better results using the right product.

Having said that I keep those bulk 10 tube blister packs of dollar store superglue around because sometimes I don't want to use a $7 tube of loctite to fill a non-structural hole.

Two reasons. The obvious is to prevent temperature degradation, but also as cyanoacrylate is moisture cured the fridge provides a nice low humidity environment. Once a tube is opened you should really toss it after 6 months.

I have a small bar fridge in the shed for all my adhesives, silicones and epoxy elastomers. It makes them all last longer and stops the wife complaining about the smell in the fridge.

Let me google that for you

Interesting....very interesting. Years ago I learned to use turqoise ground to powder to fill worm holes in mesquite pens I make, then "fix" into place by saturating the powder with super glue. Works great and turns a defect into an asset!

Makes sense that you could carry this further by using other "powders" such as aluminum, steel, cotton fiber, baking soda, etc.

I reinforced the broken bridge of some reading glasses by drilling a tiny hole, from the top down, in each side, then using cotton sewing thread in the right color to 'sew' the joint closed and reinforce it. Then completely saturate the cotton with SG and let it cure. Makes for a very strong, reinforced joint in hard-to-repair-plastic.

Its in Australian and its upside down. I cant read this.

 

[kc8adu]

looks like the powder is just fine white sand.
i wound up with several bottles of this powder and found it works the same with hobby store bulk ca.

 

[Trav]

They say the black one is carbon/graphite and the grey is aluminum based. What white powder?
