Sometimes we want to find a tool that can glue everything together. It so happens that a necessary and good thing breaks down. To throw it out, of course, the hand does not rise. But unfortunately. there are situations when nothing helps, even a well-known miracle glue. Fortunately, I managed to solve the problem of gluing broken things once and for all. Now I am not afraid when even small, delicate details break off.
I used to often use the glue that I use to bond polymer clay. However, it is only suitable in cases where the items to be repaired can be heated up to 200 degrees. With such strong heating, the glue becomes hard and elastic, similar to plastic.
Another gluing method that has become widespread is the use of a special pistol. Again, it is not suitable for all cases. The surfaces to be glued should not be subjected to heavy loads in the future, as well as exposed to high temperatures. When the glue from the gun hardens, it gains flexibility and high adhesion.
It also happens that, in addition to gluing, you need to fill in holes, holes, small cracks, to mask chips and other damage. In such situations, the well-known Secunda glue (or other similar materials with cyanoacrylate) comes to the rescue.
Such glue hardens almost instantly, you just have to act on it with any alkaline medium (even ordinary water is suitable for this purpose). The alkali neutralizes the acid stabilizer, causing the material to harden.
Surely, many have noticed that if you forget to close the tube with such glue (or twist it tightly enough), then it begins to dry quickly.
So we got to the main thing! I want to share a universal way that helps to glue literally everything. You will need any glue that contains cyanoacrylate. Using the method described below, you can easily hide chips, cracks, holes. The composition is very strong, and therefore perfectly fills any holes. It perfectly adheres to any surface, regardless of their condition.
I don’t think it’s worth reminding you that a 3-gram tube of Seconds costs a lot. I will help you save money. Use regular baking soda to fill any cavities. Surely, you will find the treasured box in the kitchen.
Here, soda will act as a neutralizer, and also play the role of a filler.
So, if you don't want to throw out your favorite thing, try fixing it. Take baking soda, sprinkle it on the surfaces you are going to glue. Also pour the product into the holes, cracks. Then fill it all with superglue. A few seconds - and the glue will turn into a solidified solid material.
In the end, I want to point out that the connection can look very strong and reliable. But in any case, he needs time to dry out. Wait at least a day, and then feel free to use the thing for its intended purpose.
