The original JB-Weld is what I used to repair some broken pieces that were missing some bits of plastic. Just use some tape to hold things together until it sets. | ||

What an awesome idea to use baking soda & crazy glue to make repairs to plastic. I will have to try that the next time I have a broken piece of plastic. I would bet the reason it works is that the super glue causes a chemical reaction with the baking soda & causes it to harden. If you ever watch "Forensic Files" on HLN, they have shown a few times how crazy glue, in a process called "Super Glue Fuming" can be used to show fingerprints on crime scene objects. So who knows how many different purposes crazy glue has if it can react that way.
Here's a little tip of my own - When cleaning up paint marks on a vacuum, DO NOT use Magic Erasers. Go to the dollar store & pick up some aerosol hairspray. Spray the hairspray on a clean cloth & then rub the vacuum with it. It will remove the paint scrapes & some scratches, but unlike Magic Erasers or nail polish remover, it won't cause scuffs to the plastic or paint. Rob | ||
