With winter finally saying it's last goodbyes, spring is making its well awaited return. This more than likely means that spring cleaning is at the top of your to do list, but do not forget about spring repairs because chances are a lot of things around your home are going to be broken. We have outlined 6 amazing Bondic™ repairs to get you started and give you a jump on the spring weather! Just remember, Bondic™ is NOT A GLUE, it is a 3D liquid plastic welder that can fix your things in ways you never thought possible!
With spring weather comes spring fishing and if you are a die hard fisher, you do not want to wait for the summer months. Now is the time to go into your garage and dust off that fishing rod to make the necessary repairs and have you out on the water in no time. In this case, our fishing rod had a broken foot. Instead of using tape to seal it, we layered Bondic™ over top creating a hard plastic seal to keep the support arm in place and allow it to unscrew if needed.
It's time to toss those bulky winter coats in storage and pull out your spring jackets. But is your zipper broken? With Bondic™, you can easily rebuild the bottom stop to keep the slider from falling off at any given moment. a
If you love to camp or just simply just sit outside in your backyard with nothing but you and the stars, then its time to gear up your equipment. In this case, we repaired the hinge on a lamp, but this repair can work for any object that uses a rotatable part. Making this repair with glue would mean clamping the entire hinge in one spot, but with Bondic™ you can literally rebuild the broken material allowing it to function as it normally would. a
This winter was rough on us and definitely rough on our homes. If you experienced a tear in your eaves-trough from cold weather then Bondic™ is the perfect and quickest solution. Simply apply a layer of Bondic™ around the hole or tear and cure until it is sealed. Remember that Bondic™ is water proof and can also work underwater, so it will be able to withstand any condition mother nature can throw at it.
With freezing weather comes cracked pipes and with cracked pipes comes Bondic™. If you have a water leak in or around your home, just apply a layer of Bondic™ over top then finish by creating a wedding band around the entire surface for added strength. One again, Bondic™ is water proof and can work underwater, so even if the pipe is leaking at that moment, you will have no problem curing it.
Aside from being a fashion trend, rubber boots serve an important purpose... they keep you dry. But if they have a hole, then they go back to just being a wet fashion trend. By filling the hole with Bondic™, you can easily seal up your rubber boots and have you splashing in the puddles in no time!
Bondic™ is the best thing to hit the market since the 3D printer and the soldering gun. It’s a honey like substance in a tube that can be dispensed onto any material then cured with a UV light and in just seconds you are left with 100% hard plastic. Keep in mind that Bondic™ is NOT A GLUE and will not work like one, but because of its unique properties, Bondic™ can be used for a vast assortment of DIY projects, the majority of which we have not even discovered yet. Between the Bondic™ team and our users, we have managed to discover some very unique and interesting ways to help spark your creativity and hopefully get you excited about repairing, modifying or just making the things you own better.

Working at Bondic™, I come across the same issue time and time again… people trying to use our product like a glue and ultimately failing. I am here to straighten out this issue by stating first and foremost Bondic™ is NOT A GLUE. I get the easy comparison, it looks like glue, it bonds things, it has sticky properties to it… but aside from these small facts, Bondic™ really has no other relationship with glue.
Lets first take a look at what glue is. Glue in principle is an adhesive that allows two fractured parts that fit together perfectly to stick together and become one like the picture below:
However, glue doesn’t replace missing pieces, nor does it provide 3D properties. Glue also cures when exposed to air or even in some cases UV light and generally requires pressure between two parts to work.
Bondic™ has adhesive properties but it is essentially plastic in a liquid format, you don't need perfectly fitting parts for it to work and you can actually fabricate a missing part out of thin air. Take for example this broken block:
The corner is gone so we can not glue it back on, so instead we can use Bondic™ to rebuild it creating an entirely new piece (like a 3D printer), Something glue cannot be used for.
I know we said “Glue is Dead” but do not take it so literally, we are not trying to replace glue, it does what it does and in some cases, it does it well but Bondic™ works where glue fails! Bondic™ is its own category and when something cannot be repaired by glue, that is where Bondic™ comes in.
You wouldn’t be able to insulate wires with glue:
Or repair a piece of your broken key fob:
Make a hook on the wall:
Or even make new threading:
Think of Bondic™ as something new, something you have never heard of or tried before because if Bondic™ is not a glue, then it will not work the same way glue does. So before you say “I tried that Bondic™ Glue and it didn’t work” take a step back and think, “WAIT! Its not a glue and I shouldn’t use it like one.”
