- In this video, I showed you how to fix your broken items using glue and baking soda, known as super glue or ca glue. Using baking soda and super glue together is a much more effective and durable method than repairing using cotton and super glue.

what happens if you dissolve the baking soda in water and add it to the super glue, instead of using the powder form?
@@bikedawg Try it and report back.

So, polymerization?
How does this method compare to 2 parts epoxy glue?
After watching this video I'm considering constructing a house made entirely from baking soda and super glue. I will have poignant mood-music playing on site while I work.
Haha, super glue - baking soda is the new ramen?
Try super glue and cocain. It will increase the home value :)
Same!
all you rilly need is a set of redundant gears
Hahaha!
Things to note: Small amount of powder, small amount of glue, let it set and LET IT COOL, then add a small mount of baking soda, small amount of glue.
This is a highly exothermic reaction. In large quantities it can get hot enough to melt or possibly ignite the material being repaired.
The reaction between the bicarbonate (baking soda) and the cyanoacrylate (superglue) forms polymers, or chains of atoms, which is why the resulting solid is stronger than just superglue alone.
These polymers can become brittle below freezing temperatures. Keep that in mind if your repair will be exposed to severe cold.
A good way to add your powder is to put it into a salt shaker, This helps you add small amounts at a time and breaks up the lumps into a finer powder for a neater finish.
Massively under appreciated comment - thank you!
THANK YOU! last thing i need is to start a fire in my room or i’m getting kicked out for sure
Thank you!
I saw a video where they said that this method was used for repairing helicopter blades (superglue and sodium bicarbonate). how far below freezing are you talking (becomes brittle)? have you heard this about helicopter blades?
That is absolutely correct. As a copier technician it's got me out of jams numerous times in the last 25 years.
Wow! I never knew superglue was good for anything besides gluing dry skin together.
LOL--true
Reading this with my pointer finger and thumb stuck together from super glueing my glasses.
Me too. why does it work for everyone except me.
😂
Lol...
That plastic gear repair was some well thought out work. Well done.
Seriously, I thought it was brilliant!...
Some well thought out, meaning it can be done better?
@@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris you're thinking 'somewhat'.
But it wasn't shown how the outer gear (the mold) didn't stick to the new material that was poured into it.
@@MartyThePastaGuy because it was silicone
I'm actually extremely impressed with the gear repair hot glue mold, and the hole filler. Pretty genius.
That gear repair was genius.
I used a similar method to repair the gearbox in my Ford Focus, 45k miles later it's still shifting nicely and never misses a gear! ⚠️😲👍
The baking soda/super glue combo had me like "that's dope, I should keep that in mind (knowing I'll forget and never use it). Then I saw the gear mold and filling a drill hole and all of a sudden I have a handful of things I'm about to fix this weekend.
I would prefer to glue a wood dowel into the damaged cupboard door. But the gear repair is genius hopefully it sticks in place.
I wasn't getting it until he filled in the missing part. blew my mind.
My brain exploded when I saw these genius methods, but I quickly put it back together using super glue and baking soda. Thanks Inventor 101!
🤣🤯🙃
🤣🤣😭
Yeya!!
This is old school nothing new
_“that’s a lot of damage_ 🎵
_how ‘bout a little more!”_ 🎵
The gear repair was genius. Then I saw the particle board. Mind blown. Life changed forever. 👏
any normal wood glue with do the same on particle board, if you use wood glue to join 2 pieces of particle board together, it will break the wood itself long before the join will break under pressure.
@@notfiveo Yeah see there's tons of ways to repair holes that will last, but what I find most intriguing is the sheer speed with great durability. I was hearing someone talk about how a luthier swears by using baking soda and super glue, and that's what got me thinking about it.
You can buy this for yourself and it's already done it's called "Q bond"
You dont have to be a hack and use baking soda...
Trust me you think you're life is changed now...
Go buy some Q bond, and fix literally anything from ceramic cook pots to water pumps, it ridiculously strong.
Just do it trust me
This really is pretty amazing. If I had known about this long ago, there are so many things I could have repaired better. I had no idea these two ingredients could form such a strong material, and bond. And thank you for showing the broken gear trick, there has actually been several times I could have used that trick to fix my sons toys.
С песком ещё крепче только сверлить будет очень трудно
My friend I know this technique 35 years ago.
The gear repair was genius!
Yeah, that's thinking like 5 steps ahead. Impressive.
Takes an engineer's mind & bit of work but when parts are needed but can't be found
@@paulaball8725 so true. Too often can't find the part
I was impressed by that too
I consider myself pretty good at things like this but that gear repair 🤔 I'm a dumbass.
This is about a million times better than every "life hack" video Facebook Reels has EVER showed me combined.
Seriously
Hobby train enthusiasts and miniature painters commonly recommend superglue and baking soda for bonding because the baking soda also fills in the gaps! Thanks for the video!
The gear repair was worth the watch alone. I never thought of using hot glue as a mold. Absolutely brilliant!
I'll have to remember this if ever I have to repair a plastic toy gear.
Just check shrinkage as it cools.
This. I known about baking soda and super glue but never thought of the molding technique.
I've seen it done w candle wax too.
So? Hot glue and baking soda work the same as super glue and baking soda?
I've used this trick for years to fix my kiddos toys. So glad someone made a video 👍
40 years old I've never seen anyone do this or even mention it before!! Thanks for the solid tips !!
I know right? Who the hell knew about this secret and kept it to themselves for all these years? Bastards! Could have used it many times.
Marling Baits viewers have been seeing this trick for years. Still a mystery as to how it works so damn well thoughj
I learned about this about 40 years ago so I guess I've known of it your entire life...
"Solid tips" was that a deliberate pun? If so, then this is the best comment here.
@@JohnnySins-tk5rl In the main comments someone briefly explains the science behind this chemical reaction. It's really quite fascinating.
Finally after all these years I’ve found the way to glue bolts to my bottle tops….life changing
I love repairing little things around the house. Will add this to my repertoire!
true mainly for when your had a screw/threaded bolt come out stripping that spot good filler to have
Don’t you mean your….. repairtroire 😏
ok sorry I’ll leave
Then you'll need to repair the repair after failure.
Bonus points for using repertoire.
I reattached my severed fingers after a tragic milk carton accident this morning and have already fully recovered thanks to this video! I only wish I'd added some cinnamon or mint to the baking soda for a pleasant post op scent.
😂
Good one!!! Thanks for the laugh!!!!
Actually, 😌
Apparently if you break a china plate or chip a cup, and realign the pieces while soaking it in milk (buttermilk 🤔...i forget) ... The porous ceramic edges will 'mend' back together!
@@theriddlerUSA Riddle me this. What happens when you use super glue and baking soda on severed digits? Sticky fingers!
@@RLaraMoore So what you're saying is if you never want to chip a china cup, only drink buttermilk because it will instantly mend itself the moment it's dropped! 😂
I did this trick when working on a craft project. Things to note: first, the glue dries almost immediately when mixed with the baking soda, so you have to work fast, and second, it is very hard to get a smooth surface. You will have to heavily sand, to the point of using a Dremel tool, go get it close to smooth.
You don't have to work fast at all if you do it correctly. Don't drop it in as it starts hardening. Drop it in first and then harden it.

You have literally brought new meaning into my humble existence
As far as stripped/oversized hole in wood/composite materials, you can also use pieces of wood toothpicks and saturate the hole with wood glue. Takes longer to dry but wood glue is a lot more forgiving before it sets if you make a mistake.
Sawdust works great
Will it work with all purpose flower or talkpowder?
@@randywatson8347
I doubt it, those don't have much structure.
For the same 4 dollars, I just use wood filler and wait 12 hours for it to harden.
Sort of like when my wife wants me to sleep in her bed.
@@DevJB Lol! Your wood filler takes 12 hours to harden?! Your wife is very patient.😉
I used this on my guitar "nut" (the slotted part where the strings slide through on the head stock).The nut groove was too deep because I was going with a lighter guage string so I used super glue and baking soda it was hard as a rock when cured almost instantly. I then just cut a new slot with a razer blade an a file.That was 5 years ago still holding strong.
Rock on! 🤘😎
You define what a nut is but use headstock to define it, but I don't know what a headstock is
@@whoeverofhowevermany The headstock is the thing that holds the truss adjustment bolt. I hope this helps. 🎸

Yes! This is the exact sort of comment I was looking for. Ive played 23+ years....somehow. I do lots of mod work, repairs, builds ECT and this is interesting stuff. Glad to hear it's good for guitar work
Used baking soda and super glue to fix my sour attitude at work. Got a raise!!!

@@WestCoastUSA546 so?

I need to try this
Anyone else click on this video thinking the glue and powder would explode?
Actually, cellulose works better, Cyano-acrylate reacts with wood and paper better than baking soda. Save dryer lint from cotton t-shirts or bed linen, no polyester blend. or . . use fine wood sawdust. . . Baking Soda is nice if you want "white", like on a repaired guitar top nut. But you need the fibers inside to prevent the new amalgam from cracking when it gets older.
Actually a great point! Thank you, now I have a use for all that dryer lint!
What about dog hair? I have plenty of that.
I was wondering about this. He shows super glue with various materials such as baking soda, cotton and cement. I was curious about the advantage of each one.
For wood repair I use saw dust from the same wood to make it somewhat invisible after sanding and polishing.
where do you find the saw dust from the same wood?
@@TomatoTomato911 you can sand some away
@@TomatoTomato911 Yes, as Mr. Manuel said. You can collect some from either sawing, filing, sanding, or drilling from the same wood piece you're repairing. That's why when I'm wood crafting, I collect some debris just in case of repairs or filling in some holes/cracks.
And you make a paste using wood glue or the cyanoacrylate ?
@@maximeb190 wood glue
The gear being repaired was very poignant to me. All that effort in a throwaway world goes largely unappreciated by the largely unappreciative population. I liked it lots!
I had an electric pencil sharpener in which the nylon drive gear disintegrated. I found a 3d-printed replacement for ten bucks on eBay that let me keep a cool old bit of office supply out of the landfill.
This felt like a mystical experience instead of a simple glue trick.
I’m glad you had the experience. I am still waiting to be amazed. Is that is a part two?
@@MarcosElMalo2 Watch it while slightly intoxicated, if you are legally old enough to that is.
I’ve used this for years as an RV Technician to repair damaged side wheel panels and anything plastic, except we purchased an actual product of the 2 mixtures!
That showing in the fabricating the plastic gear was something I really learned from!!! Wow awesome!!!
As a hobbyist, this will now be one of my all time favorite tricks. Way cool!
Add paper towel into the mix for a material that rivals fiberglass epoxy.
WHY DO THEY NEED BAKING SODA
Sure
@@Keys879shavings or like a lasagna?
That was way more useful than I thought it was going to be. Good job.
Sweet vid!!! I've seen a few of these where one person used ashes & super glue and another where they used Ramen Noodles, of all things, to repair stuff. Kudos to Yall's Creativity and Ingenuity!!! Keep it coming!!!

This man rediscovered 3d printing
I was thinking the same thing lol
This is way stronger than any consumer 3d printing... they use this kind of fix on helicopter rotors.. it's insane how durable a usually brittle substance (acrylic) get when it bonds with a proper filler
That is the coolest thing I've seen for ages! I'm now looking at stuff to break just so I can fix it again!!!
Dude, you got me breaking everything in my house just so I have an excuse to fix it with Super Glue and Baking Soda.
Saw where you made this comment (2 days ago). Still laughing my ass off!
I just used Loctite Super Glue to fix a bathroom nightlight, and the superglue didn't work. I was regluing a shell to the plastic switch. I was very disappointed! I decided to do a search for glue that would adhere a sea shell and plastic together. I found nothing, but I found your channel. I said, what do I have to lose? I tried it and it worked wonders. That shell's go'in no where! What a wonderful gift from above. I thank the Lord, and I thank you!
I could fix a kitchen drawer using the final tip. Thanks!
The gear repair was pure genius!
This is actually a pretty well known trick in the hobby/modeling community for creating extremely durable snow/ice model bases and terrain, though I didn't realize that it was an actual chemical reaction or just how durable it was
Used for glasses repairs too. No longer a trick but more of science.
All it does is speed up drying and it actually makes the end result considerably weaker than just super glue on its own. If you want a more durable base for your models mix sand with super glue, it is a lot stronger. Baking soda is only used to speed up hardening, nothing else.
Thank you so much for your video. I dropped a delicate glass Christmas ornament and tried using it crazy glue, which didn’t work . Then I remembered your fabulous videos and brought out some baking soda and it works perfectly !!!
So wonderful, my husband is amazed and re-thinking all sorts of problems!!
Thank you!!!

@@sawboss5794 facts my nigga G
Thanks for this!! Just fixed my door handle which was broken for 3 months!! Couldn't find baking soda so used corn flour and it worked perfectly!!! 😄😄
Hmmmm..maybe youre onto something..
I think any powder would work. It acts as structural filler since the glue alone is watery and runs thin
@@BlackJeepConvertible maybe non-silicate though? Or maybe sand does work, hard to say...
Couldn't find baking soda? Are you on a dessert island ?
@@tsfurlan called his house 🤣
Baking soda is great for many DIY projects. It's good for setting plaster too, making it last longer when spreading.
This man is a genius!!! Baking soda?!!
Seen a man fix a hole in his boat in the Philippines 🇵🇭 the exact same method I was astonished on how superglue and baking soda was so strong
Does the baking soda chemically react or does it just act as a strengthening filler?
@@soundspark "Chemically, the bicarbonate molecules in baking soda react with cyanoacrylate to create a reactive ion that more easily bonds with other cyanoacrylate molecules. These bonds establish long, polymer chains that are stronger and more resilient than cyanoacrylate-water bonding. The resultant substance is a super glue and baking soda plastic with a cement-like consistency that creates stronger, exceptionally durable bonds." Was wondering the same thing.
@@viper1431, I would have tried to sit next to you in class. Thanks for the explanation!
@@servant72 I'm thinking wikipedia
@@viper1431 Great explanation! Question... is this the similar type of liquid glue created that uses UV light to quickly harden instead of the baking soda? Or are they the same thing?
Only thing I would have added is a comparison of plain super glue vs super glue plus baking soda on the weight holding test. Otherwise great video looking forward to more 👍
I agree, without a comparison we can’t even tell if the baking powder really does anything at all.
We could be wasting baking soda because of this guy, for all we know.
I've discovered that super glue needs a bit of moisture to set properly. Often the plastic frames on my cheap reading glasses break and shrink. I tried super gluing them to the plastic lenses and they always broke again. Now I wash and rinse the glasses first which leaves enough moisture in the frame groove to "set" the super glue. So far this holds much better. The Krazyglue hard hat commercial didn't seem to add moisture or water to the test. Before my discovery of the moisture trick I found super glue to be weak and unreliable, and often resorted to epoxy. It has always seemed to work well when gluing your fingers together!
There is a commercial plastic repair product that consists of a tube of super glue and an amount of black and white powder. On-line critiques were that it was just baking soda.
I wonder if there is any relevant chemical reaction between the super glue and the added powders, or if they are just aggregate like the sand and rocks in concrete, or the sawdust with wood glue?
@@henrikaugustsson4041 it makes it set immediately at least lol no waiting time
Its amazing. I tried this on a broken piece of brass and it WORKS!!! I used Cyano-Acrylate and Dry Powder Graphite also, which is just as good.
Almost as strong as getting super glue on your jeans. Turns them into motorcycle knee pads 😂
Use a drinking straw to place the baking soda in hard to reach places or when you just want to add small amounts at a time. Great way to build up fine gussets too.
The most useful video I ever watched in my entire life! Thank you for sharing!
Your life must suck big time.
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats what happens if you live in a dark cave.
ive been doing repairs with it for years. always in my tool box and in the the car for emergency also great for camping and the boat.
Thanks for the tips man! I can fix so many things I couldn't before.
New trick for me. Definitely going in my knowledge banks. Definitely has a lot of practical purposes for quick repairs.
Most everyone has super glue but few people have wood putty and liquid steel handy, let alone so quick drying. I mean instantly drying. Much faster drying than a puddle of super glue alone and the strength is amazing.
I have been telling people about this very thing since the early 90s. After my grandfather fixed one of my plastic childhood toys I never forgot about it.
Wear safety glasses when using super glue. It's no fun to get super glue in your eye.
I was using a thin tube to apply super glue. I had the work close to my face in order to accurately place the glue. As I squeezed the bottle, the small tube popped out and the glue went into my eye. The thin tube was curved in a way which caused the tip of the glue bottle to point at my eye.
Another time I had a brand new bottle of super glue. When I attempted to cut the tip of the applicator open, the super glue shot out of the tip into my eye. The glue had been packaged at lower altitude than where I live so the bottle was pressurized.
Both times I managed to pry my eye open and flushed my eye with water for as long as I could stand it. I didn't have any permanent damage to my eyes but I now make sure to always were safety glasses when using super glue.
Glad you are Ok. Thanks for the good advice. 👍😁
I have a friend that was building rc planes, and went to put some eye drops in his eye. You can guess the rest.
@@lamarw7757 I did that with peroxide once. That wasn’t funny

I am SO impressed! Going totry this on the broken base of one of my antique lamps.
very impressive vintage weight! the curing process is cool too! definitely going to start working with this in mind. sprocket repair ftw
OMG! I've never seen anything like this before, but you can dang sure bet I will remember and use this at some point in the future. WOW! Thank you!
Loved the repair for the gear, thanks!!! 💖
I discovered this powerful combo by accident when I was cleaning out a cluttered sink cabinet & found a spill turned into an unbreakable solid.
I use it for so many repairs now, works great for so many different surfaces. A Dremel is useful for smoothing out sharp edges, getting even surfaces, buffing for a shine AND for sanding off accidental glue globs 😬.
When repairing ceramics, if a crack will be large & noticable, I'll add the base pigment (of whatever it is I'm repairing) in powder form to the baking soda so that after it dries, all I have to do, if anything, is paint any small details with acrylics.
*As a note, if you plan on using pigment, you'll likely need to double the pigment to offset the white soda. And always test your pigment/soda ratio for the right shade BEFORE applying superglue!
All in all, in using this stuff & learning different tricks, I've got to point where even I have trouble finding where the repair was made!
Some say he still has super glue on his finger tips to this day.
Nice video man and great idea! I like the practical use of this. Who would have thought that combining baking soda and cyanoacrylate would create such a strong substance for use as a replacement for various parts-stronger than cyanoacrylate alone. Going to try this to fix some drawers and as an underlying layer in a wood door, which hole became stripped, to place screws in. 👍🏻 Keep up the novel ideas and the great work 👍🏻
Speak to anyone who does any kind of plastic or resin modelling ... we've used this for years. Always good to share with some newbies though 🤷🏼♀️
I’m that newbie. I never work with plastic or resin so this video is amazing to me. Glad these trucks are being shared.
Always share
I've seen this done in toy car restoration. It actually works really well for particular purposes. You can sand it into shape, much like plastic. And it does paint up well too. Has the consistency of hard plastic
It sands like plastic and has the consistency of plastic because it is plastic. The reaction forms polymer chains.
Genius
Most Vids like this aren't very useful but yours is fantastically helpful.
Thank you
Wow the stripped screw hole on cabinet door so useful
This is great to know.
I liked how you fixed the cogwheel.
But I found it especially helpful to know that it's possible to use this method as a hole filler 👍💕
You can just jam toothpicks or matchsticks in the hole, then reinsert the screws.
You know what else makes for a good hole filler...
Another way to repair holes in wood is to drill it to the size of a dowel, glue the dowel in the hole with wood glue and then trim… once it’s dried the repair is stronger than the chipboard as dowels are made of hardwood
This is where you have to decide, should I spend 20 minutes creating part of a missing gear, or do I spend 20 cents buying a replacement?
Well, if the replacement part is unavailable, that goes without saying 😉
@@mino73T11 and if it IS available, does that also go without saying?
@@RetroKid yep! 😉
@@mino73T11 - I'm pretty sure that gear cost more than 20 cents. Add shipping costs and I'm positive it costs more...
I've used this for many years but recently came across someone who uses graphite or a graphite and baking soda mix (sodium bicarbonate or bicarb in the UK).
The results of using graphite are even more astounding ... stronger and harder than without!
Fixing cogs the way shown is ingenious though as it saves any post op filing or sanding to shape of the teeth. I must try it on metal cogs using graphite to check just how strong that can be! 👍👍👍
This is an extremely good thing to know! I don't need it anytime soon but now it's always in my head. Thanks for the simple straight forward video!

Updates? Hows the drawer knob?
Wow. Great video. I love the one where you replaced teeth on the gear. As a copier technician years ago you would run into a problem with broken plastic gears which I didn’t have in my inventory and I’m three hours from the office. Or worse, the customer may have to wait what why are you order one.
Why order replacement parts when you can fix the gears with just a tube of super glue, some baking soda, a vise, hard plastic tubing the same diameter as your gear, a saw, a block of wood, some screws, a drill, aluminum tape, and sandpaper?
Finally some hacks and tips I can actually use
I learned this trick years ago. A Super Glue bond is pretty brittle, but if you mix it with just a pinch of baking soda (no need to dump it on like in the video) it hardens like concrete. You'd have to saw the bond apart once it's hardened. But you have to be very quick because you only have a few short seconds once they mix.
A lot of us nerds have known about the baking soda trick for quite some time. Chemistry is awesome. Thank you for sharing this super cool trick for the masses!
Is chemistry involved here? I thought it was simply adding some structure like when you add sawdust to wood glue to fill a hole or imperfection. It works well for low strength structural repair like as seen in this video. Is there something more complex going on here at a chemical level?
@@xmo552 - Yes there is a chemical reaction taking place that creates "longer polymer strands" as someone explained in an earlier comment.

I used this trick to put a base on a D&D monster mini once. I had to use some thin cardboard, but I also used this technique to build up the base a bit like it was terrain under its feet. :-) Looked really good actually.
I used to do the same, only with extra thick CA and store bought CA accelerator to assemble the minis, then the glue plus grass or sand from model railroading for the terrain. A well painted miniature deserves a nice base.
