K Tool International 90002 Q Bond Ultra Strong Adhesive Kit for Garages, Repair Shops and, DIY, Repairs Hard Plastics/PVC/Metals, (2) Adhesive Bottles, (1) Plastic and (1) Metal Reinforcing Powders

Ordered this because I'd picked it up at a local parts store about a year ago. Finally ran out of the glue. But this stuff works swimmingly! It's a bit touchy to use for anyone who is inexperienced, but QBond is quite an impressive adhesive. Just as it claims, it bonds materials within seconds. At times, if the ambient temp is low or the relative humidity in the area is a bit high, the adhesive takes a little more time to fully set. Something to be mindful of. also, always wear nitrile gloves when handling this chemical, as it can very quickly bond the skin on your fingers together! They do provide information on how to resolve this if this does occur, within the box on the directions / warnings slip.

The situation: The front cover of my treadmill came out during our last move. It is screwed to the body of the treadmill with 4 screws (2 front and 2 back). Four plastic pieces broke off from the cover at points at which the screws attach the cover to the treadmill. To glue the pieces back to the cover was not an easy job because there is too much stress on the joints when the treadmill vibrates (specially at higher speeds) or when the cover has to move (when you increase incline). I have joined several broken plastic pieces before and several products in the market can do simple jobs. However, this was very different and challenging. Remedy: I tried two products (one cheap and the expensive "Strongest" joint) to attach the broken pieces, but they were not strong enough to withstand the stress from operating the treadmill. It broke every time and the new cover was $200- something I was unwilling to pay. I had given up and was using duct tape to keep the cover on the motor. Coincidentally, I saw a YouTube video showing this product. I liked the fact that it came with a powder that can reinforce the weak spot, so I decided to give it a try. Process: I scrapped off all the old glue (very important) and cleaned the surface with rubbing alcohol and let it fully dry. In the first stage, I used just a few (4-5) glue drops to join the pieces, making sure that they are exactly where they are supposed to be. It works VERY fast, so you need to be ready with how the joint should look like before you start. Caution: The "glue" is sort of watery and does not join the surfaces till it is dry (which is fairly quick). So it may appear like that it is not working, but if you hold it for a minute or so, it is done. If it is a simple job, you are done now. You need to go through the second stage, only if you need to make it "bullet-proof" and aesthetics are not that important. I needed the added reinforcement so I went to the second stage, after waiting for about an hour. I poured the powder around the dried joint. The powder is very fine, so take your time. I used a fine brush to fully cover the joint area with the powder making sure that I do not create a high heap anywhere. Wear a nose mask, as strong fumes will come out at this time. One at a time, put the glue drops on top of the powder very carefully making sure that it fully penetrates the powder without moving it. Leave it in the open dry place for an hour or so and you are done. Caution: 1. Work outside the house. 2. Use gloves, if possible. Use recommended cleaners to get the stuff off your hands. 3. Use nose mask and stay clear of the fumes that come out when pouring glue on the powder. Outcome: My treadmill is holding very well after more than three months of usage at all speeds and inclines. It appears that the cover will not break at those spots again. BTW, it is made in Republic of South Africa and I will highly recommend the product.

Where has this been my whole life. This stuff is great. I am the type of person who trust to do jobs correctly and not cobble stuff together with duct tape and super glue but in the real world that's not always feasible and in those scenarios this stuff just makes a WAY more permanent fix than standard super glue. The super glue that comes in the kit is just normal runny super glue but the powders are where the magic at. It's like the little brother of JB weld with a much faster cure time. I use a thick super glue on one side of what ever I'm glueing together and the powder on the other and stick them together just to get a initial bond then apply a little more powder then use the supplied tiny super glue to really strengthen the bond. Store it in the fridge if possible so that the glue doesn't harden up as well

My go to glue now! Easy to use, quick setting and insanely strong and durable! If you need one thing to stick to another, or need to repair something, this has to be in your toolbox!

Interesting material, works as described

This stuff works great on plastic car parts. Helped a friend get his toyota prius drivable after he ran over a tree branch in the road that tore out his front wheel well shield the front air dam. We were able to repair the tabs on the parts and put things back together without spending any money. (I already had the stuff from a previous bracket repair.

This stuff is amazing! Used if for fixing broken/missing plastic on automotive interiors. Use it for creating new plastic. It can be drilled and dremeled into shapes. I use some of the glue first then add some of the filler. Then more glue and then more filler. Dries within seconds and is hard as a rock.

I'll give it five stars because it does seem quite amazing. Searching a video website will show it is likely just regular super glue and baking soda, though. Based on that, it's highly over-priced. But it does work nicely. I tried it on a broken clip for a switch and it seemed to hold great. Even when snapping the switch back into place, it didn't break (and it took quite a bit of pressure to click the part in). Then I played with it on various other things.I glued two plastic floppy discs together. When pulling apart, the plastic broke but not the glue or bond. I tried it on shiny smooth plastic and it failed miserably. That would obviously require roughing up a bit with sand paper. I put a dab on a piece of aluminum and it was impossible to remove. I glued two pieces of steel together. They weren't clean at all and it produced an incredibly strong bond that took a good amount of effort to break. It sets amazingly fast. I mean like 3 or 4 seconds. So you must have the items together first. There's no applying the glue and powder and then putting the parts together. Just super glue them first to get a bit of a bond. Then work around the seam with the powder and glue. So, yes, it does work fast and is strong. But, I do believe it is just regular super glue with baking soda. Search for such a video and try it yourself.

First off- I ordered this from Amazon, but the package I received was in rough shape. The box was ripped in multiple places, the labels on the cement were yellowed and had fallen off, and one of the bottles of cement had been opened already. Both bottles were less than crystal clear. I was in a time crunch and since this stuff is supposed to have a 2 year shelf life, I tried the open bottle. Unfortunately it wouldn't stick anything together. Even got some on my fingers and no sticking. Contacted Amazon and they issued a refund, no hassle. Set to work getting another (hopefully fresh) pack. Including this info because clearly this was just a bad/old package and should not be a reflection on the product, but a note to look for yellowing labels or liquid if you get it because it's probably a sign the product is past it's shelf life. Got a second pack and then fell in love with this stuff. It's now one of my favourite hidden gems. I was installing a rear dash cam in my Jeep and decided to take the time to run the cable through the the factory wire tubes and under the rear lift trim so it wasn't dangling. In the process of removing the trim panel, I broke 5 of the plastic mounts that the trim fasteners attach to (see pic). I've tried many kinds of adhesives including many epoxy and super glue products in the past to try and mend broken plastic things, but nothing has ever worked. I figured I was going to have to replace the whole trim panel, but then saw Q Bond on a Youtube video. With a fresh pack in hand, I followed the process on the first broken tab- apply the glue and hold the pieces in place for 20 seconds. I waited 30. Let go and the piece held. Then I sprinkled some of the black powder on one side of the now re-attached tab, poured some glue on it and watched it smoke. Flipped it over and repeated on the other side, then tested it. It was rock solid, so I installed the metal clip and repeated the process with the rest of the broken tabs. All went great except one. On one of them, I didn't line the tab back up correctly as the glue set, so it was at a weird angle. I had to file down the hardened black powder to get the clip on, so there wasn't much left supporting the glue. Decided to re-install the trim back in the Jeep and finish installing the dash cam around lunch time on Christmas day, before heading out to visit family. Everything clipped back into place except the one I had botched. It broke off. I was scared to take the panel back off because although it had snapped in firmly back in place, I thought that prying the clips back out may re-snap the plastic tabs. So... I tried to fix the last one in-place on the Jeep. Bad idea. Long story short, because of the position, when I tried to apply the glue to the black powder, some of it dripped on my fingers. Unlike with the first pack, this time three of them boded together instantly. In a mad panic, and suddenly envisioning Christmas day in the Emergency Room, I raced to the bathroom and used a lot of hot water, soap and gentle prying. Eventually I got them separated. Crisis avoided! Not wanting to go through that again, I opted to risk removing the trim panel again, and to my amazement, not a single tab broke off. I re-did the one I botched (you can just sand or file off the old glue/powder and start from scratch), put the clip on and plopped the trim back in place. It's been on for 4 months and no issues. I've since used it again to repair a dust bag attachment for my palm sander. It broke years ago and I keep cobbling it together with duct tape because I can't find a replacement. 30 minutes of cleaning and 5 minutes of applying Q bond, and now I finally have a solid, working dust bag. If you need to fix broken plastic, this will do it. The piece doesn't look clean and tidy after you apply it, so not for something that needs to look nice, but for things like car parts and tools where it won't be seen or doesn't need to look good, but needs to be strong, this is killer. Two obvious tips- make sure the fluid is clear and not yellowing to be sure you have a fresh product. The initial glue should bond the plastic together and hold it in place within seconds. If it doesn't, it's old. And make sure you wear gloves!

Excellent

The best glue ever although a little expensive

It's magic. Literally! I've struggled with epoxy for years - this stuff is the go.

Colle très bien
