    You sir are a legend! My fuel cap completely snapped off as I walked past it at the petrol station. I tried all types of glues (Sugru, 2-part Epoxy glues, Araldite, etc). None of them worked as I believe the fuel cap is actually plastic! Then I came across Q-Bond in this clip. It actually worked! The only thing I would say is to firstly sprinkle some of the powder in the joint and then apply the adhesive to it. Then hold it together. Thanks again.

      Glad you found it helpful, q bond works wonders.

      Where can I get the adhesive sir?

      You can get it on ebay and probably amazon aswell. The name of it is Qbond.
      I'll add a link to it in the video description later on today

    Thanks for uploading this video. My fuel cap had completely snapped off when I stupidly walked past it on the forecourt whilst it was open. That Q Bond stuff has set like stone & fixed it. Once again, thank you

      I also walked into mine while it was open and that's how it broke 🤣. Glad you got it fixed.

    Thank you for this video. I need to fix it on my car. Any suggestions on how to protect the paintwork from the QBond?

    • @RCS_716
      @RCS_716  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You could use some tape to cover the areas that you don't want the Qbond to touch then rip the tape off when it's dried. ( only issue I could see with this method is the Qbond bonding with the tape so you'd have to be a bit careful)

      @@RCS_716 Good idea. I will go careful... I have ordered the Qbond via e-bay and should get it soon. I was so happy when I saw your video as what happened was exactly what I had done! Thanks again and for your reply

    Can you use q bond without removing the whole fuel flap? How would you do it?

    • @RCS_716
      @RCS_716  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can but I removed it so that it would be easier to lay the powder down

      Same for me, plus the price of the glue is the price of a new used cap, almost...

    My fuel cap completely broke off. Do you think this glue will work if I try to fix it? Or should I just buy a new one?

    • @RCS_716
      @RCS_716  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Q-bond will definitely be able to fix it. Worth trying to fix it imo instead of spending more on a new one

    What is that long tube/wire for?

    • @RCS_716
      @RCS_716  ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not actually too sure what it is for but taking a guess I'd say maybe just incase you spill fuel in that area it will run down the tube and not just sit in the fuel cap/ door compartment.
      I could be very wrong lol but that's the only thing I could think of
