Super glue who? This $16 gadget 'can fix anything' from glasses to jewelry
This mini welder is like an industrial adhesive on steroids. Over 5,000 shoppers say it makes repairs in seconds.
Crazy glue is one of those universally loved staples that many people swear by. However, according to Amazon shoppers and even TikTok users, there's something much better and stronger that's worth checking out. The Bondic UV Glue Kit is a liquid plastic welder that bonds two items together in under five seconds with the press of a button. The only thing more impressive than that? Its price — a mere $16 at Amazon.
This handy device works on wood, glass, plastic, metal, rubber and even fabric.
The bond is 100% waterproof, heat-resistant and nontoxic, dries clear and can be painted on after it hardens, meaning it can be used to repair basically anything. Try it on plastic, wood, metal, PVC, steel, rubber, wire, ceramic, vinyl, leather and more — it's perfect for fixing anything from frayed phone chargers to snapped glasses to broken toys.
It's even gone viral on TikTok, racking up millions of likes. This TikToker's video shows how the tiny welding tool is used. It squeezes out glue from one end and then hardens it using a UV light on the other. You can see it in action fixing a pair of broken eyeglass frames in seconds.
The Bondic UV Glue Kit comes with everything you need to get started: a handheld applicator, an LED UV light and a 4-gram tube of liquid adhesive, all of which fit neatly in the included metal case.
This nifty welding kit has racked up over 5,100 five-star ratings, many from satisfied customers who were surprised by just how strong the glue really is.
One shopper wrote, "By far the best quick, strong, easy adhesive I've ever used. Especially perfect for very small or fragile objects which can't easily be 'held' until the glue strengthens."
"Lifesaver!" exclaimed another. "I bought this product when my only pair of prescription sunglasses snapped right down the middle ... It took me a few tries to align my glasses properly, and I had to have my boyfriend cure it while I held it in place, but they're overall functional enough to use again until I get a new pair. Very solid product! Every household should have one."
"I discovered this glue in a Facebook group for people who love miniature kits," shared a third. "The glue works great for the tiny metal things I put together. It sets almost instantly. The case is really handy too. Keeps the glue from drying out. Love the needle nose tip too."
One shopper said that while it works amazingly, the smell isn't the best. "A little stinky but not intense like some glues," they explained. "It is, however, perfect for using to fix cheaper jewelry or costume jewelry."
"The only complaint (small one) is that the light switch takes a bit of pressure," noted a final fan. That said, they added, "It has repaired three pairs of glasses, a small statue and a few other things. Amazing stuff."
Shoppers love that this stuff never dries out, cures in seconds and is moldable.
Another fun repair find? This set of furniture markers that makes scratches and scuffs disappear:
Tempted to replace your scratched-up wooden coffee table? Wait! This 13-piece set makes covering up pesky nicks in your wood furniture and floors as simple as coloring in some lines. It includes six shades of markers and crayons, along with a sharpener. The crayons can be used to fill in deeper scratches, while the markers are better suited for touching up surface scratches and discoloration.
"I removed the runner from our hardwood stairs and it left all kinds of holes from the staples and nails," explained a fan. "Using the crayon to fill it in and the marker to touch up the color worked amazingly! Saved us a ton of money on having the hardwood floors sanded and restained. You can't even tell!"
