Testimonial: Metal Hinge to Wood

Testimonial: Metal Hinge to Wood

Testimonial

"Thank you so much! One thing I will say is that I absolutely love the product. We have used it on all sorts of things including a bad metal hinge on a cabinet. Fixed the hinge about 4 weeks later, and the new one isn't as good as the one I put back together with Mr. Glue.

Fan for life.
Thank you so much again."

Wood to Wood Bonded in Seconds

Glue Wood To Wood in Seconds 

Use Mister Glue's Accelerator on one side.  I generally use the Accelerator on either very porous or very slick surfaces.  Doesn't to any harm in using it, will just make the bond stronger.  Mister Glue is pretty tough on its own though.  I've repair ceramic plates and intentionally broken them after an hour or so and invariably the new break occurs elsewhere from where it was originally repaired. 

Apply Mister Glue to the other side and press the two pieces firmly together.  You can place in a vise if you want but it really won't make all that much difference.  After about 20 seconds set aside and let fully cure.  If you want to continue to work the wood, that is fine.  You might want to wait a few minutes to ensure the glue is dry.

Stuck Cap on Mister Glue Bottle

Stuck Cap on Mister Glue Bottle

Can't Get the Cap Off the Mister Glue Bottle?

It has been known that once in a blue moon or so a cap will get stuck to the spout or screw threads of the bottle.  This is usually preventable but still happens. The video shows a fairly straight forward method of remedying the situation.  Use a pair of pliers to gently crack and loosen the glue that has set around the threads.  May take a minute. Use the pliers to unscrew the cap.  Being very careful to hold the bottle upright so the glue doesn't spill if the spout comes off with the cap!  

If the spout comes off with the cap, then take a pair of needle nose pliers and use them to pry out the spout.  You will have received an extra spout with your order. Use that as a replacement if the old one is unusable.  

Prevention

To keep this from happening:  

  1. Burp the spout before reattaching the cap.
  2. Try and make sure there is no wet glue on the threads of the bottle or around the spout.
  3. Ensure that the bottle remains upright when stored in the freezer.

Oh yeah, ... Be careful!!

Resin Figurine: Boyds Bears

A small section had broken off this piece.  With anything like this, resin, ceramic, porcelain and the like, practice putting the two pieces together first.   Mister Glue is very fast and you ideally, want to get it right the first time.  Apply a small bit of Accelerator (spray or brush) to one side first.  Apply Mister Glue to the other surface.  Then gently place the two sides very firmly together.  In this case I held it for about 20 seconds  After about 30 seconds or so, as you'll see, I was able to hold the whole item by the previously broken bit. Watch till the end and see.

I used Mister Glue here to bond/make this tassel for a handbag.  I was applying the glue to the more porous side, so I used a bit more that I would normally.  I could have used some of the Accelerator but Mister Glue does such an amazing job on vinyl, I wasn't too worried.  Some soft vinyls, I've had it tear while trying to pry two pieces apart. That's how tough it is.  I've used Mister Glue on PVC (polyvinyl chloride) - your plumbing pipe.  Let it cure fully with the PVC, then I hit it with a hammer and it breaks elsewhere from where it was glued!

Another nice thing is that the glue dries flexible, which is good when you are bonding something like soft vinyl or leather.
