Using Super Glue and Baking Soda to Repair a Plastic Switch Plunger

I used the super glue and baking soda trick to repair a plastic switch mechanism.
I first experimented with scrap wood to get a feel for the process. It would be best to start with the baking soda and then add super glue drops as needed.
Various fillers may be added to help strengthen the bond further, and a small mold can be set up to build up the structure, then removed almost immediately when it sets.
The result can be sanded or carved into the desired shape.

During the first week of our COVID19 Lockdown here in South Africa I accidentally broke the metal hinge on my spectacles. Since need these to read and all optometrists were closed for who knew how long I decided to use the method to build up a nodule welding the ear piece to the lense frame. I could obviously not fold the ear piece closed like this but it got me through to when optometrists reopened. It held strong for about 4 months! The frame was black so I used a permanent black marker to colour the repair black and hardly anyone noticed the repair. I also used the method tho repair and build up our ice maker container in our fridge/freezer which has held up for over a year now at sub zero temperatures. Amazing stuff!!!

[@dougggiereid]

@@dangerous8333 I did not have epoxy and the hardware stores were all closed for the lockdown. Also, I had to build up a small nodule to bind the parts together. This is easy to do with the superglue and baking soda method as you can keep adding more to build it up layer by layer. There were not enough mating surfaces for epoxy to adhere to. I have worked with hardening putties and many other adhesives and believe the CA glue and baking soda gave the best possible joint and in the least possible time.

[@penelopehunt2371]

Well done.

[@yogibait8005]

For more strength, use .6 ounce fiberglass cloth instead of powder. The CA will wick through the fiberglass cloth and bond over a large area and the .6 ounce fiberglass cloth is extremely thin.

[@johngibson1256]

silk cloth is also very strong. You can buy it in rolls or sheets. I use it if i'm doing fiberglass repairs and want a stronger repair than chop strand glass fiber.

You can also use fine dust of charcoal for black filling and cocoa powder for brown filling. This can also be done to color epoxies on wood and bakelite repairs.

[@blakehendrix641]

I've used this on quite a few different things with varying levels of success... Baking soda and talcum powder can both work decently well but using thin or extra-thin super glue helps a ton (don't even bother with gel, extra control, etc)! Also, for this particular project, I would've just used a small soldering iron to press a hot piece of metal parallel with the arm (perpendicular to the break)! For something small like this I typically use a staple (already bent, as if you just pulled it out of a piece of paper)!

[@volvosan]

For years, I had used a product called Insta-Plastik, which is a powdered solid-bonder, which re-creates plastic, when mixed with super glue. Same idea. When that became unavailable, I found Q-Bond - a more advanced form that has 2 powders, 1 w/ pulverized metal (super strong bond). Work on office equipment, which involves lots of plastic that is fracturing and breaking constantly. The 2 part bonders (acrylic adhesive & accelerator) also create a strong bond. The plastic that doesn't repair with these methods is the heat-resistant plastic.

[@nickgeorge2176]

I used this method on a lawn mower plastic intake manifold that had completely broken off ,that has to withstand heat, presure and vibration and so far after 3 years of use is still holding.

Great !Thanks! I repaired a fuse box cover on my 1990 Chevy truck like you did. Its a little fatter wider tab and broken right at the base. So it was still barely attached.

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

Thanks for making this video. Your push button repair seems to have bonded well. My suggestion is that when using baking soda, calcium oxide, nano-particles of carbon, or baby powder as a filler, it seems that you might get even better results if you would contain the area to be filled with tape, as you did, but then you would put the filler powder in the area first, and next add the drops of CA glue; in other words, when you are using thin CA glue, you seem to be "putting the cart before the horse" and letting the glue run everywhere before you add the powder. Try it the other way and see if you get better results; on deep joints, try layering the powder, adding a single drop or 2 of glue, then a layer of powder, etc., because the various powders (except the baby powder) tend to cause the CA glue to set hard upon contact. As a final measure, lightly spray the repaired area with CA accelerator to cause any remaining liquid CA glue trapped in the matrix to quickly set, and, if you used baby powder, to cause the paste created by mixing CA glue with baby powder to set. See this link for the baby powder/CA glue approach - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHKViX1thbmHaa8 P.S. I know that baby powder used to be made with talcum powder, and now is primarily made with corn starch and/or other ingredients. Please refer to the linked video to determine the exact ingredients that they used to make the paste that doesn't set instantly, but only when sprayed with the CA accelerator, if I correctly understood what these guys were doing.

[@billbucktube]

Good demonstration. Can't be mixed, the exothermic reaction is fast. When possible place tape under to contain the superglue, then put on the baking soda. Dumping out the uncured baking soda is needed to prevent dry pockets. I've used gel superglue as my first layer when I couldn't get a good seal with tape.

[@NipplesOfDestiny]

I had a pair of boots that needed repair, I only had a small bottle of superglue and a pair of nitrile work gloves. I thought the nitrile was similar enough to the rubber on my toe, so I applied a small strip I cut from my gloves. There was a chemical reaction that actually made it heat up and start smoking, and the bond from that was stronger than the original rubber that fell off. I don't understand exactly what happened but it is worth mentioning that nitrile bonds well with superglue in my experience

[@Tonisuperfly]

That patch lasted attached to skin the enough time to heal, many days.%

[@paulromsky9527]

In my fiero, I had two broken plastic straps/bars that the shifter console screws into. There are two holes (one towards the front and one towards the rear) in each strap/bar which are part of the center console plastic frame. Each broke right at the screw holes and even broke into smaller pieces at each point leaving big gaps in the plastic (impossible to glue). I taped off areas to create pockets to fill the gaps and to make reinforcing spans on each side of the four repair points. I coat the plastic edges first with THIN superglue (not Gel) and sprinkle in some baking soda to get a good base at each end of the gaps, then I add a few thin layers of baking soda/superglue into the tape forms until the repair is built up. The mix will get very hot for a few seconds and may start to smoke slightly. DO NOT GET A WIFF OF THE ODORS AS I BELEIVE THEY HAVE TRACES OF DEADLY CYANIDE. Use safety goggles, N95 Mask, Nitrile Gloves, Ear Protection when grinding, and a good Exhaust Fan venting outside away from people and animals. The whole repair area will be hidden so I just trimmed/smoothed up the repair with a Dremmel Tool, drilled new holes for the screws, (yes this stuff is gridable and drillable) and painted the patch areas with a little flat black enamel paint. The screws are very tight because the patches are very hard but a bit giving on the surface too... and since they are sheet metals screws into plastic, I don't have a tap for them. I lightly coated a screw with Acetone and screwed it in until it started to bind, then worked it slowly looser and tighter working my way until each screw can be fully seated. It is very strong, the plastic flexes but the patches don't much, they are rock hard. I have been using this technique building Radio Controlled model airplanes to make Balsa wood as strong as thick plastic. It holds up well to heat, cold, humidity, vibration, and atmospheric pressure. It has nearly the same thermal rate of expansion as most automotive plastic so it will hold up to wide changes in the environment. But don't put too much force or it may break the plastic before the patches break, but that is what causes these straps to break in the first place - leaning on the shifter console as you reach over to pick up something off the floor in the passenger seat - I wait and stop the car to do that from now on. This plastic is 35 years old so it needs TLC and respect.

I once more or less permanantly repaired a cracked sink drain pipe using clear silicon caulking, and first aid cotton roll gause. it formed a pretty strong patch for the crack, and the tight binding kept the crack from spreading.

SG and baking soda are great for plastics, similar elements. For I've used wood fillers, MinWax poly filler is the best for both int and ext applications, and a group wood repair compounds sold. They're expensive. Used them at home and on the job. Super glue mixed w fine dust dries hard but it's great for"dutching". It's all good. Owning a good DeWalt sander would help, too w an assortment of diff grades of sandpapers! 👍

Some plastics will not adhere properly to CA glues. When used with baking soda the bond area is hard but will snap off easily. For plastics it's best to your a Surface Activator or "primer", which is typically a felt tipped pen supplied with specialised plastic glue packages from Loctite etc. The primer chemically alters the plastic to make the CA really grab hold.

This is a valuable skill that I have recently came to the awareness of and I am absolutely in awe of how amazing it is and just how much I was missing out on prior to Learning of this method, I have literally thousands of past opportunities that I could have used this method for and a.m. completely blown away that I never thought of this or heard of it until I was 38 yrs in age . I repair appliances and could have use this so many times, and could have used it so many times at home as well, I have also found that ripping off small pieces of steel wall or fiberglass or even wire and smashing it down into the surface bridging the crack will add a tremendous amount of strength, as well as using zip ties as a filler rod, preferably matching up the type of plastic and color is even that much more effective and rewarding, lastly I found if you truly need it to be As close to strong as the original it is worth your while to bevel the Work piece by using a razor blade or something to trim it at an angle just like you would when you’re butt welding two pieces of metal so you get full penetration and you can use the zip tie to fill in the gaps otherwise it can still be subject to breakage, but if it’s the right type of plastic and a soldering iron message is the way to go, however some plastics tend to get a bit brittle, such as plexiglass It will work but not the greatest

If gluing wood to wood superglue and baking soda work wonders. It will even work if the wood has oil on it. I used this method 20 yrs ago to glue the fire walls back on my radio contorted planes. After they hit too hard on landings. The fire walls end up oily from the engine and really no way to clean it out of balsa wood. Never had one fail with this mend. Make a fillet with the baking soda, then drip with the CA, to make sure all the glue reacts then hit with accelerator. Make sure you work in a well ventilated area, the fumes that come off are nasty. It also creates a lot of heat in the reaction.

Using painters tape as a way to create a containment mold around whatever you want to repair or in whatever shape you want to cast is a bit easier to deal with and remove than plastic tapes. Also, I would actually consider the piece that you repaired as a structural piece, since it provides functionality upon assembly.

[@paulromsky9527]

There are a lot of good comments on using other materials, but the reason Baking Soda works so well is that it is Sodium Bicarbonate. The Soduim atoms break their bonds as they react to the Cyanacrylic and then recombine. This exothermic reaction causes a lot of heat and a cure that only requires a few seconds. It gains full strength overnight. But don't even catch a wiff of the light smoke this method will create, it burns the mucus membranes in your nose, throat, and lungs, and I belive there may be traces of Cyanide gas in the fumes. Wear all appropriate personal protection equipment and VENT to the outside air away from people, pets, or anything organic.

Would supper glue work on refrigerator's crisper drawer? I have two crack lines on mine that are not split open yet but they are on the side, right on top so I am looking for ways to keep them from getting bigger.

If there will be possible food contact in that area, that will need to be considered for which material to use. If it can be determined that any certain super glue product is food safe, it may be a good choice if it's the thin type so it can get into a crack better than gel. The bigger problem would be getting glue into the crack to hold it together, and still hope it doesn't continue to spread. Just like repairing windshield cracks, they may drill a small hole on each end of the crack so it can't grow any longer (the crack is opening into a new hole, can't keep running along beyond that void) and then glue can be used to fill the small holes and spread along the crack, hopefully with some entering the crack and bonding it.

You can also use graphite take a pencil shave it down to the lid and crush up the lid It's with the Air Force uses to fix the helicopter blades
