Super Adhesive part two.
This may also be side referenced to Internet myths as I believe for reference there are a few that-tube channels that have instruction manuals on this idea.....
However, super-adhesive (You cant call it super-glue, thats product placement) and Baking powder can be used to create a "Paste" that fills gaps rather well in hard plastics.
Mix the two in equal quantities to make a sort of "Pollyfilla" and work quickly... it sets up rather fast.
Worth a shot if they ever do a Super-Adhesive Part two segment?....
Side myths, many "Fine" powder products can be substituted as long as they come from a hard base, as in, talc, not so good, powdered bone, quite good, powdered rock, very good.
However, better to powder the substance you are repairing.

cyanoacrylate is, I believe the chemical name.
and I have a butter knife I need to repair - hollow handle and short tang - it is going to need some sort of filler, and I think what they used was plaster related. maybe if I feel ambitious. or I might try JB Weld.

However, better to powder the substance you are repairing. Carpenters do this for centuries. Mix wood glue with sawdust and you have a filler paste. If you use the same kind of wood, you get a paste with the correct colour if done right. |

JB Weld is an epoxy resin with filler material included in the resin. The stuff is great but it does take a long time to set up and is pretty runny until it does. Elevated temperature helps a lot. I've had great success using JB to fix things that I though were un-fixable. The quick set version of JB doesn't seem to work nearly as well as the regular version. |

"well, it's not like I've felt ambitious yet - and I'm not 100% sure the knife is still around to fix. And you could probably buy a new one for what a tube of JB costs. |
