They come in packs now of 3 or 4 very small tubes. The tubes contain more glue than most people will ever use before an opened tube dries, so you're actually paying 1/4 of what you would normally pay for the same number of uses. Just search for "small super glue" there were even some available nearby in google shopping for me
Right? It’s all perspective. I stand here and see a mess… But if I take a step (In any direction) I now have the eyes of MacGyver solving world hunger with an ice pack and a wink.
Baking soda works just as well without having to light or buy a cigarette. This has been used for years in guitar repairs. Fixes a chipped nut and also fills in deep paint chips and the super glue can be colored to match paint!
@@wholegrain27you can add it to the substrate mix, or even better, to the cyanoacrilate. But personally I’d just paint at the end, the surface will look different especially in a well-finished item like a guitar. You’ll need to polish that to make it look good.
I have been using baking soda and crazy glue for repairs but I like your idea. It seems that ashes from a wood stove would be a finer powder than the baking soda. Thanks!
Wow, 70yo lady here, this is absolutely brilliant!! Wish I'd known about these hacks decades ago....I've always been a DIY, mechanical, and fix it myself from a little girl..my mom used to give me broken toasters and radios to dismantle and see how they tic....I can think of thousands of projects I melted my brain trying to come up with solutions for just creative repairs etc. I have worked on ...these hacks are so great .... I know I'll be using them in any future tricky projects that come..
Baking soda is way stronger and it is also sandable and it's kind of weird that somebody come up trying to use ashes we've been using the baking soda and super glue for many many years in carbon fiber repairs and fiberglass
I learned of this back in the early 2000s. My car's radiator cracked open in the middle of my journey to another district. I had already covered 150km with 100km to reach my destination (no garage nearby). A mere local man who happening to be passing by asking what the problem was and I explaining, he simply asked me to get him super glue from a nearby shop that was just a few meters away plus some flour. I hesitated thinking he crazy (NOTE: he was also in a drunken state)... I mean, how could I trust or take him seriously. With zero ideas and no sensible/viable solutions, I reluctantly entertained his proposed idea buying a few tubes of super glue and asked one of the locals for a handful of flour. After about 50 minutes of repair and drying up, I was on my way. The fix was solid, and it held up for 4 months... and this is a car doing daily 100km plus distance.
Wow! Why did I never think of that. I have struggled for decades with split or broken plastics and to think the solution was dangling out the corner of my mouth all the time whilst struggling to fix such things. Thank you. You clever people - who ever you are!
@@pazuzutru-truluv7094 no, I just made a reasonable assumption that you are a smoker, since you said you were a smoker in your comment. You don't have to be Dick Tracy to solve that mystery.
I've used this a few times only baking soda instead of ash. It's good for making weird shapes things with holes in them that have a tendency to snap off. I fixed a drawer hinge in my fridge by using a metal rod for the broken plastic pin and then layering it up with baking soda /super glue and sanding it to shape afterwards. It's best if the fix is hidden though. This trick works awesome but doesn't look awesome without a LOT of work to make it match.
49 years old, I've worked multiple trades from HVAC, auto repair, construction, maintenance, and now prototyping and I have never heard of this trick before. Absolutely brilliant.

Have you ever flown in a plane that had props? They use super glue and basically the same thing as ashes or baking soda to fix minor defects and cracks in props.
I was trained to use crazy glue with saw dust to accomplish the same thing! I learned it in Luthier school. Ebony dust was the strongest. Never thought to use ashes. Brilliant!
they did walls out of empty wine bottles, but I wonder if aluminium would do too. the glass kept the room fresh while letting light go in, compared to a regular wall. they use it on heated countries tho. they don't close the bottles, too.
Dude, usually with these types of videos, there's nothing new under the sun. However, as you've already stated, most people use baking soda. I've gotta say, I never considered using ash. Interestingly, the crazy glue reacted with the ash, causing an exothermic reaction. I never would've guessed that outcome with ash. Thanks for opening my mind & assisting my future fixes!
Instead of ashes, you can simply use baking soda. Also, it’s better to jam a toothpick into a lose screw hole rather than intentionally make it bigger and fill it with a foreign object. The toothpick with splinter and lock into the screw in place without sacrificing the integrity of the original wood piece.
That particular brand of ashes makes a good caustic for scrubbing stains out of toilet bowls as well. Sprucing up her life by doing that for her will make you her favourite grandchild
My grandpa used to do this until he got pulmonar hypertension for years of smoking. Now he uses sodium bicarbonate instead. This video gave me great memories. I miss him everyday

To repair a fingernail, put a bit of split sheet toilet paper over the break, and soak it in super glue. Works a treat, just file it into shape after it's set. Works with any kind of extremely thin paper, or even the proper fibreglass sheet that's used for false nails. That method has worked on lots of things over the years for me
I've done this a few times, the only problem is this: condensation. Water eventually loosens cyanoacryllate glue and the sweat from fingertips, from showers and baths eventually loosens the repair and it comes apart.

Very cool. Baking soda can be used instead of ashes. Baking soda and super glue are used to fix chips on the carbon fiber blades of a helicopter. Also, the cigarette filter and super glue is a cool idea.

I use some of these methods everyday. Except I work with stone. I don't smoke but most of my coworkers do. Cigarette ash added to translucent 2 part epoxy helps give a natural look when you can't add pigments. I use it in my seam colors also. Baking soda works as an activator as well but when it goes off it turns really white so I mix the ash with it. If I'm working by myself and nobody has a cigarette smoking, I will use pepper to tint my two part epoxy. This is in applications usually having to do with Dallas White granite. I have used Red and black pigment and added that to Baking soda and use that as a filler then put a coat of super glue on top to mimic the color of Garnet. I've been doing granite for 8 years now and you would be amazed of some of the fixes and things you come up with when you are in a bind, don't have the correct products, and out on a job 100 plus miles away from the shop. I've also used red clay and torched it to make powder to add to my epoxy. Also we have a spray activator for super glue. You have to be careful what spray activator you use because some of them will turn light granite green. The stone will continue to get more green until it looks like you're throwing a St. Patrick's Day parade. lol . I did test samples and set them to the side and forgot about them..... 3 months later that stone was so green....we were all amazed. That was years ago now they have an activator with different agents in their formula.. No more green stone. Lol Satellite city brand glue has an amazing product line, Including different glues with different viscosities along with NFC black label aresol activator.

@@hamboneneurosis995 you forgot to mention the 40 bucks you're going to spend on all them cigarettes so you're actually going to be in the hole no matter what LOL..
Since it works also with baking soda my guess is because both the ashes and the baking soda are bases. The ashes were used to make soap, so they contain hydroxides
@@L.SeveralTimes. well, I don’t smoke. So having to buy a pack of cigarettes just to get the ashes is what I was talking about as far as being expensive.. 😁
If you don't already smoke, watch how you get the cigarette smoke out because 2nd hand smoke is worse than 1st hand and causes cancer and breathing it in is toxic 😤
After watching this vid I used ash and super glue to repair the plastic connection on my Kirby vac hose and it worked amazingly. Saved me over $100 because I would have had to purchased a new kirby vac hose. Thanks heaps for sharing this idea.

I love the music you chose for this video too along with the relaxing sound effects from you working. Can you please advise me on something though? Specifically what is the paper you use for this?? Liked and subscribed!
This works for stone repairs too. You can take powder from drilling or sanding and mix it with super glue. Gets hard in a second but looks always like it's wet.
You know what also works like that while staying workable long enough to get the pieces where you want them? Epoxy resin. And it'll even resist chemicals and UV
This is a great idea. I have a 1960's Classic car with a thin plastic centre console which has some small splits. These can be easily repaired by supporting the front with tape and then, making this support from the back with this method. I have been looking for a solution for many years.
Man I have been looking for a way to 'add to' a broken plastic piece, as nothing I've tried actually bonds together with it. I'm so looking forward to trying this and hoping it works! Thanks for the video! Crazy to think ash & instant glue can do that....
Look around UA-cam. I saw this done with sodium bicarbonate (or baking soda), or a mix of sodium bicarbonate with graphite ground from pencils, there seem to be other combos working even better.

best to get low viscosity cyanoacrylate glue - it works miracles, can penetrate all cavities and gaps, but for repairs that need filling you obviously need some base material and glue to bond it all together. Filling material, there are many options, like diatomaceous earth, chalk powder, charcoal powder, graphite etc..
After struggling to quit smoking after 14 years, and being smoke free for the past 3 years, this video has inspired me to pick the habit back up. Thank you!
The super glue thing works with baking soda also so no need to smoke first. I've used it to repair the plastic strap on my kids snow board bindings. Works like a charm
Before people do what they love to do. I'm 65 and smoked for 40 years. Had a lung x-ray because of Covid and doctor was amazed that I was even a smoker. Explain that? Because he couldn't!!
Wow, as a smoker who has used baking soda super glue for years I'm now bummed I didn't know this long ago. I've been making unnecessary trips to the grocery store when I've had the answer in my pocket all this time.
Very good. The question is how long will it last? Superglue on its own is known for quick fixes that don’t last long. Any type of adhesive that lasts is usually some form of epoxy. Do the cigarette ashes give it properties that make it last?
THANK YOU!!! I sure hope Shiva will let me repair my Oakley’s using this trick. Every plastic shop says the plastic they use can’t be fixed an I have a broken pair no longer available I’ve been holding onto. 🙏🏽🤞🏽😎

Instead of super glue ideas, this should be called "cigarette ideas" 😂😂😂😂
I quit smoking a long time ago, so I can say that the fine ash from the fireplace worked just as well 👍👍 great tip.
*Im sorry for your loss, so im smoking a cigarette for you right now..*
Yep, same here, gave it up years ago now. was getting too expensive here in Australia, plus its just no good for you.
@@catey62 in Norway it's 153 nok, that will be 22,98 aud for one pack of cigarettes, so yes it's expensive here too 🤣 just to get chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) 😂😂
@@kimandrenorstrand7680 if you double that, then that is around to cost in Australia- it is the most expensive country in the world to buy them.

"Think you're wasting your life by smoking a pack a day? Well think no more! Get superglue!"
They should include a superglue tube in every carton of cig's
Me at my local store:
"Joe can I get a packet of cigarettes?"
"I didn't know you smoked"
"I don't, just fixing a few things around the house"😆
last line... "I don't, I just need a fix"
Sounds like a scene out of Seinfeld

I was told about this little trick about 30 years ago by a guy who fixed copy machines, I just never tried it, awesome little trick, can be used to fix many many things.
Fine powder/fibrous material + super glue = quick/easy home repair!
And less disgusting and nasty
Well gotta get rid of this cocaine somehow. Might as well lace the house.
BINGO!
Just now realizing how close this is to fiberglass resin 🤔 huh

As a life long chain smoker you’ve inspired me to never give up and never to quit
to the death!....in this case literally
😐
Nobody likes a quitter!!
Never quit!
That’s what I was wondering - is the message from this vid for me to start smoking?
I had no idea! This has give me the motivation I needed to start smoking again.

You can also use many filters once melted and molded together to make a shank for anything you need a shank for.
Someone's been in prison
Make sure to dirty it up for maximum pain and suffering.
@@AR-qf7su
You have to make a fist to hold a shank.
Just want to put that out there.

Good luck trying to repeatedly shank a liver and kidneys with your Fist.
You can also cut someone’s tongue out and it’s easier to permanately blind someone with the shank.
If you want them to be in a dark void where they can’t communicate whixh is kinda neat.

I use some of these methods everyday. Except I work with stone. I don't smoke but most of my coworkers do. Cigarette ash added to translucent 2 part epoxy helps give a natural look when you can't add pigments. I use it in my seam colors also. Baking soda works as an activator as well but when it goes off it turns really white so I mix the ash with it. If I'm working by myself and nobody has a cigarette smoking, I will use pepper to tint my two part epoxy. This is in applications usually having to do with Dallas White granite. I have used Red and black pigment and added that to Baking soda and use that as a filler then put a coat of super glue on top to mimic the color of Garnet. I've been doing granite for 8 years now and you would be amazed of some of the fixes and things you come up with when you are in a bind, don't have the correct products, and out on a job 100 plus miles away from the shop. I've also used red clay and torched it to make powder to add to my epoxy. Also we have a spray activator for super glue. You have to be careful what spray activator you use because some of them will turn light granite green. The stone will continue to get more green until it looks like you're throwing a St. Patrick's Day parade. lol . I did test samples and set them to the side and forgot about them..... 3 months later that stone was so green....we were all amazed. That was years ago now they have an activator with different agents in their formula.. No more green stone. Lol Satellite city brand glue has an amazing product line, Including different glues with different viscosities along with NFC black label aresol activator.
you should make videos . this fascinates me . send me your link if you do .
Nice idea will try that out one day. But please use PZ drivers for PZ screws and PH drivers for PH screws. It will make your life a whole lot easier :)
Nah, surely that's what a kitchen knife is for .... 😂
According to the 80s GI Joe cartoon, Sgt. Slaughter taught you can unscrew something with your fingernail.
Depends where you live. For me, the bin lid would be cheaper to replace than a packet of smokes
So true
You're from Australia i bet
@@judoslap59 😂yeah- $1.50 per stick is the cheapest you’ll find these days here
If you already smoke then the ash is free. I do t smoke so I could use baking soda or activated charcoal or something
@@tonefilter9480Привет, я из России. Сейчас перевёл деньги на ваш курс, и у нас пачка стоит почти 4 доллара. 150 рублей наших денег. И это ещё не очень дорогие сигареты. Нормальные идут по 200 рублей за пачку, т.е больше 4 долларов:)
I will never use this technique but the video was so relaxing to watch
The stench preserved for eternity in all of your household repairs.
AMEN
I'm gonna try curry powder, it'll be like living inside a biryani.
you can avoid the stink of tobacco ash by using plain ashes from any wood fire or even charcoal ash.
saw dust works too.
We have a Yahtzee 😅
Used the ash trick to glue 2 parts of steel piercings together, worked like a charm! Thx!
I usually know most of these Lil tricks but this is different. Never even heard of it. Great idea to have in the arsenal. Thanks 👍✌
Do you? Do you know most of them?
am surprise
Incredible! Gotta love when science like this can be applied to daily household problems. I'm intrigued by the chemistry of the ashes and glue
Yeah! It's amazing! You spend three days trying to fix something this way, and on the fourth, you throw it away and buy something new! Simple!
Same here,Pretty clever idea actually. I wonder if ashes can produce desirable tonal qualities/properties if used as the material for a slotted nut on a musical instrument like a guitar. new purpose and solutions Reborn from the ashes like a phoenix. Results may vary.
@@hamboneneurosis995 you forgot to mention the 40 bucks you're going to spend on all them cigarettes so you're actually going to be in the hole no matter what LOL..
Small particals held together by an adhesive.
Since it works also with baking soda my guess is because both the ashes and the baking soda are bases. The ashes were used to make soap, so they contain hydroxides
FYI, it doesn’t have to be expensive cigarette ash, you can use any common wood ash also.
Or baking soda!
"Expensive cigarette ash" is a wild take, but i get what u mean. Glue+ash=y.
As in y did i know this sht
@@L.SeveralTimes. well, I don’t smoke. So having to buy a pack of cigarettes just to get the ashes is what I was talking about as far as being expensive.. 😁
I’d substitute the double “o” for double “e”.
If you don't already smoke, watch how you get the cigarette smoke out because 2nd hand smoke is worse than 1st hand and causes cancer and breathing it in is toxic 😤
After watching this vid I used ash and super glue to repair the plastic connection on my Kirby vac hose and it worked amazingly. Saved me over $100 because I would have had to purchased a new kirby vac hose. Thanks heaps for sharing this idea.
FINALY. Some DIY to repair my car on a budget 🙏
Bro imma use this to fix my bumper lol
The filter dowel is pure genius and I will be using that eventually.
Easier to fill the hole with wood glue and replace screw while still wet
It's fiberglass
@@Goldphool I know, but making a quick homemade fiberglas dowel is a new idea to me. I think the super glue concretion with the ash is also brilliant.
Get your 🚬 on. A carton of repairs will set you back $40-60
@@jpablo700 I roll my own. Two cartons worth runs about $22.
This is absolutely brilliant. I usually use baking soda but I smoke so ash will be great for when I don’t have that handy. The filter idea is awesome.
You can just take a puff off of the cigarette and blow the smoke onto the wet glue. It will harden almost instantly.

I am impressed with the trashcan cover one the most!! You have NO IDEA how many times I have ended up replacing something like that because of that same type of damage. I love the music you chose for this video too along with the relaxing sound effects from you working. Can you please advise me on something though? Specifically what is the paper you use for this?? Liked and subscribed!
To me it looked like parchment paper
Masking tape?
@@JBB685 usually sold as "baking paper" or "pergament", depends on the country and language.
I. E. In Russia both names are in use.
Brown paper
I believe it was masking tape.
This works for stone repairs too. You can take powder from drilling or sanding and mix it with super glue. Gets hard in a second but looks always like it's wet.
Wait really?! 🤯 I’m definitely going to try that!!
You know what also works like that while staying workable long enough to get the pieces where you want them? Epoxy resin. And it'll even resist chemicals and UV
@@IAmTheStein yeah but epoxy is 1000x more expensive.
A friend met a girl like that once…. She always looked wet, but turned out she got hard in seconds. 😂
"Gets hard in a second but looks always like it's wet." .... 😅
This is a great idea. I have a 1960's Classic car with a thin plastic centre console which has some small splits. These can be easily repaired by supporting the front with tape and then, making this support from the back with this method. I have been looking for a solution for many years.
Man I have been looking for a way to 'add to' a broken plastic piece, as nothing I've tried actually bonds together with it. I'm so looking forward to trying this and hoping it works! Thanks for the video! Crazy to think ash & instant glue can do that....
🤔Też miałem ten problem z połączeniem,teraz jest sprawa już naprawione,pozdrowionka.😉
Look around UA-cam. I saw this done with sodium bicarbonate (or baking soda), or a mix of sodium bicarbonate with graphite ground from pencils, there seem to be other combos working even better.

You can also use baking soda instead of ashes. I used it a couple of times, one time made a whole audio cable jack casing, and a couple more things.

This is one of the best helpful videos I seen in my entire life….
Literally I just had to replace the whole bumper of my car. I would have watched this video before I would have had saved my bumper….
Still I would use it in the future… 😊

Yes, I have some zip ties in my bumper. I'm use this idea to fix the mounting screw holes.
There are cheap, widely available products specifically designed for that which also managed to elude you.
I’m fixing the black fiberglass underneath the car and hooked to the bumper. It’s dragging on the ground - duct tape ain’t working.
What a great way to repair all the cheap junk they make now a days! This could be a life saver if times get really tough. Thank you for sharing!

Absolute bloody genius, remarkable the ideas people come up with, thanks for sharing,even the filters act as wall plugs 😂😂 wish I’d studied science now, will be trying as the hinge under the kitchen sink needs attention 👍
best to get low viscosity cyanoacrylate glue - it works miracles, can penetrate all cavities and gaps, but for repairs that need filling you obviously need some base material and glue to bond it all together.
Filling material, there are many options, like diatomaceous earth, chalk powder, charcoal powder, graphite etc..

And for those who DON'T smoke, use baking soda. You may glue first, then sprinkle baking soda on the joint. Turns rock hard
Nah. Better to take up smoking. You save money that way because you alrwdy have the ash, no need to also buy baking soda,
I like all natural joints, thanks
The super glue thing works with baking soda also so no need to smoke first.

@@novalu0068 your mom and some super glue. Lol
Nice, I actually need to repair a screw hole that stripped, a filter and super glue makes a ton of sense for thst, thanks!!
Very good. The question is how long will it last? Superglue on its own is known for quick fixes that don’t last long. Any type of adhesive that lasts is usually some form of epoxy. Do the cigarette ashes give it properties that make it last?
I don't think it's a chemical reaction, but a physical phenomenon, once the powders provide a larger surface area for the glue to stick.
You are my hero. I've done stuff like this but using fiber glass which is probably more difficult.
The ashes in my woodstove would probably work just as well... but this is a great idea. Thanks for sharing this.
