Thanks Scotty! I am gonna fix that damn Toyota visor as soon as i can figure out where to buy that 4th item on the list from. I already got the rest. 💪
Thanks for this tip Scotty, I ordered some from Amazon and it is great! My mom's Hyundai Tucsan center console broke and the stealer wanted $400+ for a new one. I was able to fix it in 2 minutes with this stuff!
First off... Scotty is freak'in hilarious. Great video bud. Now, this can be even cheaper: Baking Soda (NOT baking powder) and dollar store Super Glue. Simply and carefully bond the two parts together using conventional super glue. Be careful with alignment (a few practice dry runs is recommended), as super glue will bond instantly! Then, sprinkle baking soda along the break (seam), cleaning away any extra. Ideally, you want a thin 1 or 2mm line of baking soda running along the break (seam). Then, simply add a few drops of super glue along the baking soda line. Voila, instant white cement. You can file things smooth if you wish.
Alternative faster and cheaper solution = Super Glue + Baking Soda for about a cost of $2 or $3. Some of you may want to try. I just watched this video and wanted to buy/order Q-Bond, but then I scrolled to the bottom of this video and read the comments that Super Glue and Baking Soda will do the same job. I went to a neighborhood dollar store and bought super glue and baking soda, and they did the same job for me. Because baking soda is white, the additional bonding is also white-like in color. First glue the two things with super glue. And for additional bonding sprinkle the baking soda and spray super glue on it. P.S. Super glues are available in various brands. Any brand will work, according to me. Thanks Scotty for the video.
Andy hoff Yea, the guys at the shop I work at swear by it, but everything I've seen them fix with it breaks again. I've had better luck with baking soda & super glue.
I must slightly disagree. The regular super glue you can buy in stores doesn't work so well for this application. You need the better stuff, not necessarily this brand, but the very thin kind if you're going to do this kind of thing with it. I prefer Bob Smith Industries thin for this kind of use, with baking soda. The BSI glue is a stronger glue to begin with, and is thin enough to penetrate the soda well. The thicker glues do not, so you get a hard surface that is soft on the inside.
I never comment on youtube video's, but.... I bought new tail lights, and the main plastic mounting tab broke off on one of them. I found this video, picked some up at Advanced Auto Parts and did just the same procedure as he shows here, and just as easy. It worked great and it's holding strong. Thanks!
Yes, I agree with the baking powder comments... It's a good video on how to fix the dash part but I'd rather paid 99 cents than 3, 4, or even 5 dollars or more on that product that works the same as baking powder and super glue You know how company's like to make that money... I use baking powder and super glue to fix and build up and sculpt a lot of things with it... It's great...
Scotty, You have one of the best channels out there. My wife hates it when I say "Scotty's video said". I appreciate your info on the glue, I'll be giving it a shot on my door panel.
Just found this video. Do you know how many years and DOLLARS I've spent looking for this!??! Thanks again Scotty. Can't tell you how much money you've saved me in just the last year. Wish I'd found you before I made a few of my vehicle purchases. Lol
I use this stuff all the time. It works by filling in the super glue and allowing it to build up a thick layer. It also dries the glue way faster than without it. It’s much less brittle than straight super glue, too. Baking soda does do basically the same thing, but i dont know personally if there is a difference in strength or overall performance. The Q-Bond kit is only $15 at my local napa and i still havent run out of my first bottle of the powder that i bought almost two years ago. For what it is i have been impressed. Of course it isnt as hard as steel, but it’s plenty hard and strong for any plastic. Pretty sure it’s harder than or as hard as any plastic out there. For a cheap, quick, and strong repair this is the best thing i’ve found.
SCOTTY YOU JUST SAVED THE PLASTIC DOOR SILL PIECES ON MY 92 DAKOTA! I have been brainstorming how to fix the cracked plastic pieces and I should have known you would have the answer! Seriously, there are no aftermarket replacements for these things. And junkyard parts are always beat.
Thanks to you I just bought from Amazon some Q-bond. Shipping and handling to my country was half of the total price :P Your videos are really fun to watch and good learning tools. Keep the good work and thank you Scotty!
this is a product I use, wouldn't mind if I got paid for it, but the ads running through google are how I get paid. You can't fix cars with bare hands and no tools or products, it's not a magic show here.
A body guy showed Me a trick like this, but he used super glue he got at a hobby shop where You can get 1 Oz. bottles instead of little ones, and he used baking soda as the filler. It works great and dries fast. Best of all, it's really cheap.
that stuff looks amazing, abs plastic is normally a nightmare to glue together in the past ive used the soldering iron to melt broken plastic but the way this fills the gap looks very handy
I don't need this right now for my car (although I wish I knew about this a few years ago), but I still plan on using it on some other plastic. Thank you!
they actually make kits for that, but blending the right color to match is the hard part. a dash cover is actually a better idea, many models are made that glue over the old dash.
There was a recall on that vehicle, and I know because my coworker has one and has to do with the brakes. I'd follow Scotty's advice anyway, because he's never steered me wrong.
wow. that tip is MONEY! I just looked for it and they have it on amazon for like $12. thanks for this one, this comes up pretty often, especially when you have 10 year old cars ;-)
This is a great tip Scotty. I was using J B Weld for these applications. The only thing about the JB Weld is it can get messy. I'll have to try this next time.
this is great in hot places.....like where I live....... plastic car parts break alllllllll the time because of the heat.......wow VW wanted a ton of money because they wanted to replace the door panel because a plastic bit broke...........and you can sand it down and use plastic paint over it........takes a while to sand if you are a perfectionist......but the end result is amazingggg :D Cheers Scotty!!!!
I've also used that gray epoxy putty stuff to fix some plastics and metal as well, like a broken dash panel bezel around a car stereo. The beauty about the putty is that you can mold it any shape you want in order to fill in gaps for example, and it gives you some time to work it to shape and make it look oem. You will usually find this stuff on display at the counter of an autoparts store where they took two washers or pennies and stuck them together in a blob at an angle to demonstrate its strength. Try breaking that stuff! The epoxy putty and qbond would make an excellent tag team.
Hello Mr. Klimer, first off let me thank you for having a son that has volunteered to protect this country and my freedom. Please let him know that there are many Americans that feel the gratitude that I feel for the men and women of our armed forces. Next, thank your for taking your time in making these videos and helping me save money on my car. I have already used some of my new found knowledge in this fiscal endeavor.
I disconnected the ABS cause I know how to drive cars hard. I find such stuff annoying, for amateurs who don't really know how to drive. Now it's OK in the ice and snow, but it doesn't do that here in Texas much.
Watched a long time ago and just had to use it. New truck had a bracket broke after someone back into it and drove off. My local Canadian tire in Alberta carried it. Q-bond worked great for me
Super glue and baking soda or flour. Works every time. I've been using it to fix/mold parts for die cast models, it never failed. I can also file it down and shape it.
Nice video. I would have to say that if I saw you on the street walking I would think that you were a British Rock Star not a mechanic. Thanks for the video.
Never had good luck with glues. It eventually looses bond. I use a wood burner similar to a soldering iron. I try to find some of the same plastic type. Melting in a fused piece holds up better. A lot depends on the plastic. JB Weld works good on some. Fixed a missing piece on a side mirror.
type "fixing car brakes" in the search on my scotty kilmer channel opening page and watch the videos I have on fixing car brakes, there are quite a few
Thanks Scotty! Very useful information. I had never heard of that Q-Bond Adhesive before this video. I'm going to look into getting some. Heck, I have at least 3 jobs that come to mind real quick. I must have old stuff. :)
I fixed the broken plastic posts on my Cadillac driver's side panel- under the steering column. It was truly annoying to have that panel hanging down. No more. Q bond is great stuff.
never heard of this stuff normally i just get a soldering iron and melt the plastic back together and if its missing plastic i grab some plastic from a bucket or what ever i have laying around and melt that in with it

if you don't want to use that stuff or buy it baking soda and regular super glue does the same thing basically
nah, its aluminum particals
ok mix some aluminum oxide into the baking soda
first....

It is black dyed baking soda and super glue.
Flip de boer I am sure it is but they took the idea and said it was there formula and started selling it
It's so painful to read when people use "THERE" instead of "THEIR"
and vice versa too...
I heard there it sounded like there and it was there is what I heard there I said it.
Have used Super G and baking soda for years. It works. If you need a small weld, place fiber string along the break, bam ! it's fixed.
I never comment on youtube video's, but.... I bought new tail lights, and the main plastic mounting tab broke off on one of them.

rubber and metal don't bond that well, but this kit comes with a white powder too that is to be used on metal, one could always try it.

Can't tell you how much money you've saved me in just the last year. Wish I'd found you before I made a few of my vehicle purchases. Lol
Yes, as long as it's thick plastic, the thin stuff will just keep cracking in other spots.
This stuff works great I used it on my Toyota Supra headlight. Fixed the broken tab good as new!! Thanks Scotty!!
Did it hold up Kev

Some of the Greatest! videos on RUclips! Thanks to you, I've saved myself hundreds if not thousands of dollars! Thank you thank you thank you!
that stuff looks amazing, abs plastic is normally a nightmare to glue together in the past ive used the soldering iron to melt broken plastic but the way this fills the gap looks very handy
I bought this instead of spending $95 on a replacement part.. it worked! thanks!
yes, but often you can plastic weld bumpers if enough is left to work with. That's how the pros do it
Ordered it, used it because of your video. Thank you
I don't need this right now for my car (although I wish I knew about this a few years ago), but I still plan on using it on some other plastic. Thank you!
they actually make kits for that, but blending the right color to match is the hard part. a dash cover is actually a better idea, many models are made that glue over the old dash.
For some reason when I know its scotty I hit like before watching the vid good work and keep making vids
I just use the gloves and throw em away when using solvents, I use the blue gloves that come in a box of 50 then
There was a recall on that vehicle, and I know because my coworker has one and has to do with the brakes. I'd follow Scotty's advice anyway, because he's never steered me wrong.
wow. that tip is MONEY!
I just looked for it and they have it on amazon for like $12.
thanks for this one, this comes up pretty often, especially when you have 10 year old cars ;-)
yes, but realize if a handle cracks, it's weak, and will break in other places over time again and again. But these welds won't break
This is a great tip Scotty. I was using J B Weld for these applications. The only thing about the JB Weld is it can get messy. I'll have to try this next time.
Im glad i subscribed to this channel
Dear Scotty,
I love you for this!
Good info on the Q-Bond
8 yrs old and still so helpful!
Great idea scotty
Great stuff for many things, but this is better for plastics
This is an great product that I didn't even know about thanks Scotty your the man
this is great in hot places.....like where I live....... plastic car parts break alllllllll the time because of the heat.......wow VW wanted a ton of money because they wanted to replace the door panel because a plastic bit broke...........and you can sand it down and use plastic paint over it........takes a while to sand if you are a perfectionist......but the end result is amazingggg :D Cheers Scotty!!!!
You did it again scotty
Thanks for all the hints Scotty
That stuff works great! I stopped using JB kwik when I got turned on to Q-bond.
I've also used that gray epoxy putty stuff to fix some plastics and metal as well, like a broken dash panel bezel around a car stereo. The beauty about the putty is that you can mold it any shape you want in order to fill in gaps for example, and it gives you some time to work it to shape and make it look oem.

Your editing is cool
Saved me a fortune. tyvm dude. :)
yes, get a ball joint puller tool, there are special pullers for them.
Thank you Scotty!
Thanks. This will save me on new (or junk) parts the next time something breaks.
Godbless Scotty 👍👍🧿🧿
great vid man plastic is always a pain tp fix

nice for a change. Dry and cool
I love this channel
What if I have a mounting point where the screw hole is basically half a hole so putting a screw in does no good.?
God bless you scotty kilmer.
Nice video. I would have to say that if I saw you on the street walking I would think that you were a British Rock Star not a mechanic. Thanks for the video.
Good job mate! 👍
Can't wait to get some... i keep a collection of all kinds of glues, epoxies, tapes etc... weird fascination with the stuff.
This has blown my mind.... I just wish I kept all the bits of plastic that snapped off my 85 merc w123 last weekend.
Wow so q-bond is like JB weld except it's great for pieces that you can't clamp. Cool
Just bought it 2 days ago and Scotty you just showed me how to use it,cheers:'😁😁
I've used Q bond to fix things that were supposedly unfixable. Love this product. Cool Video.
yes, if it has small holes
Never had good luck with glues. It eventually looses bond. I use a wood burner similar to a soldering iron. I try to find some of the same plastic type. Melting in a fused piece holds up better. A lot depends on the plastic. JB Weld works good on some. Fixed a missing piece on a side mirror.
Very nice video. I didn't know stuff like this exists. Awesome.
that is clever stuff, thank you scottykilmer
This guy is a genius
type "fixing car brakes" in the search on my scotty kilmer channel opening page and watch the videos I have on fixing car brakes, there are quite a few
worn out carburetor mainly, but do check the fuel pump also.
yes, same process, but I know this one works and the mixture is always perfect. So I use this
Scotty your a legend
If u dont have q bond you can use super glue with baking soda as the powder. good vid
Love it. Q Bond usable on say, my plastic water pump blades?
Thanks Scotty! Very useful information. I had never heard of that Q-Bond Adhesive before this video. I'm going to look into getting some. Heck, I have at least 3 jobs that come to mind real quick. I must have old stuff. :)

You are awesome Scotty. Thank you!
Thanks again for another great tip Scotty
yes, in some instances it is.
Hey Scotty greetings from Portugal. Great work on your channel, thanks mate. 👌
Excellent job!
Wow i had no idea. Thanks for sharing
Thank you scotty!!!!
Well done.
Thanks.
never heard of this stuff normally i just get a soldering iron and melt the plastic back together and if its missing plastic i grab some plastic from a bucket or what ever i have laying around and melt that in with it
OH YES YES!!! I knew there had to be something like this. Thank YOU
awesome tip, thanks scotty!
Super Glue and baking soda do the same job using your method of application
Nice gloves man
yes, once dry it is.
jb weld is also good, but this isn't epoxy, they have different uses in most cases.
Nice product. Also, the weld that you create with that black powder it's stronger that the weld that you can form using super glue and baking soda?
Hey thanks for the heads up on that stuff.
Damn I’m glad I found you! This is the best channel EVER!!!
Awesome and helpful videos!
Keep the videos coming scotty!!!! Love them!!!
