Fix hair clipper; glue a broken plastic molding part with Bondic

[@yeevisuals5924]

Best explanation out there on how to use Bondic. IT is not a glue; it’s a plastic filler. Great tip to create a gap so the plastic has a place to be exposed to the curing UV rays. Bondic will stick to itself and you’ve provided a clever way of setting things up with the surface prep and putty alignment trick. You’ve provide me with an idea of how to possibly repair a stripped out plastic thread on a plastic shaft by using putty as a mold for guiding where Bondic needs to go. Great video!

Another excellent repair andycivil, it is amazing to see people grasp the Bondic principles so well! When you run out of Bondic, do not hesitate to contact me! P.S. Nice hat!

I'd like to know if it held up to actual stress of use afterwards; I've found very few materials ever provide a structural hold adequate to work as the original. Plast-aid has been stronger and more adhesive than even epoxy in really tough repairs, the only drawback being its nasty solvent smell and sticky mixing. It can be built up by adding dry powder onto wet layers, repeating, then drilling/sanding after fully dried. My limited uses of UV cure stuff has not been impressive, but Bondic seems superior to others, so may be it will be the future of repairs.

Sadly, I'm not in contact with the owner of this clipper any more. But I agree with you: if the original broke, then the repair probably will too because it won't be stronger, and repairs are often a disappointment.
