Honda Fit Jazz 2007 Headlight Bulb Replacement 💡
Awesome, that's bloody useful 😊
Rough!
Ceiling glue? Not today, boss.
Can fiberglass be used on Polycarbonate and Polypropylene suitcases too? I have Samsonite with a cracked corner. Thanks.
You can also use teflon tape.👍
I came here for the comments 😂
Thanks 🇦🇺👍😃
What if I have already applied a putty filler on the board?Any help please
0:04 at four seconds I already wished it doesn’t look like that atrocious silicon job somebody has used their big toes to place!
If you dont have a bigger plug , i just fill the hole with filler , push the plug back in and leave it overnight to dry hard
Thank you, Thank you! I was able to repair a Breville ct70xl. I used super glue to glue a small piece of a zip tie to build up the trigger area. It fixed it!
3.5 fluid ounces or 10o g? And how to measure it exactly? My kit came with 250g resin and 5g hardener. I’m not sure how to mix. What is 25 drops? 3g or what?
If the hole isn’t too badly blown out, you can insert a match stick with some glue on it. Immediately follow that with the original screw no need to wait for glue to dry.
I have Vaio Sony and there is a green LED light on my laptop Charger . When the green light is ON it shows in my laptop that is charging . Sometimes it is plugged in and the green LED light not coming . It is getting faulty , the cables are all ok the unit not generating AC to DC .
This is a fix, IDK if it's the best as the thumbnail says but I like how you blew away the dust with the drilling machine.
Thank you for being specific with the details of the pads and the paste! This helps, now i can do it on my the model.
Certainly the long way of doing it. Just put a rawlplug in a rawlplug job done. LOL.

I haven't cleaned it since over 4000 days
I am suspect of some of the info you are providing. The 51R batteries I have seen here in Canada have a CCA of 360. Does the UK have a different standard? My OEM 51R battery lasted over 5 years here in Canada.
Just drill a proper bigger whole and use a larger plug. It's faster and better.
Well, it will work but actually you just need a piece of wood to solve this problem. You should fill up and tightly tamp the hole with a bigger than hole piece of wood and then you just screw in wood, works very well. But if you need a really strong connection - use highbond chemical anchors.
Good tip. It used to be matchsticks but now it’s mains cable!
I will add this to my methods list. I used building plaster and if I didn't have one on hand, I'd insert a secondary screw between the wall plug and the wall, which also works.
Bro please hurry up this ain’t going down
Or you can insert a bigger wall plug and insert in the bigger wall plug your wall plug. It works perfectly.
And one only sensor?
I get another plug the same size and cut it in half. That usually fills up the gap and is nice and grippy.
In the 1970's the were inserting pied of wood and then screwing it directly, no need for plastic plugs
Well, there you go, and all this time, I was doing it wrong by using a larger plug for the hole.
I always use a vacuum cleaner to suck out the dust from the hole. If the wall plug fits loosely in the hole, hammer in some tooth picks to fill the gaps. But dust is the biggest cause of preventing wall plugs to seat.
Excellent.
OMG this worked. Thank you so much!
Why donit force two rawl plugs
Why not use a larger wall plug??
An ex army mate showed me his own trick. Cut a 2nd plug in half, place the 2 halves around the 1st plug, then hammer into the hole.
Thanks ❤❤❤
Just drill the right size hole for the plug ffs oh no let’s go and buy a reel of cable instead😂
This is so practical and straight to the point. Thank you!
Just use a bigger plug, or a dowel pin. Duh.
Fill the hole with resin and start again
The screw attaching the sensor is SO tight that it is stripping the head. Any suggestions?
thanks for the tip. i tried wrapping the plastic anchor with electrical tape and got a disastrous result 😅
Perfect, I’ll get right on this. No problem that it’s -10 out, right? ;) Oh well, I shouldn’t have stored the plywood like I did.
Help requested! I have to reattach some fallen-down cubboards on an rather loose and crumply wall. So it absolutely HAS to stick. I was concidering refilling the holes with filler and redrilling the holes for absolutely maximux safety? Anyone?
I've always found putting the wall plug in a bigger wall plug, or split another plug in half and those 2 halves to fill the gap. I don't get the wire going in with the bolt though. Enlighten me
What is your accent?
YOU are awesome, thank you so much for sharing the detailed and accurate solution. I simply followed your instructions and voila , problem solved for < $10
My take: Put a screw slightly in the plug. Hotglue to the hole. Grab the screw and put it, with the plug on top, in the hole. Wait 1 minute. Tighten. Done.
