When my brother and I were kids we found out about super glue and styrofoam when we got cheap foam gliders. Inevitably when they'd break from crashing so I'd brought super glue and different tape for repairs. One crash a wing broke and I'd used super glue and it melted right thru to my surprise! We both conferred and said that plane was done and moved on to crashing other planes until inoperable condition. To my surprise when I picked up the super glued plane the wing didn't fall off as expected it was super bonded! The plane flew great! You'd be amazed at how well some of these planes flew after multiple repairs.
And yes!! You really can Drink water out of a super glue styrofoam straw !!! No way any toxic chemicals are going to be ingested into your system because you learned a new "life Hack" from some TH-cam Genius!!! I just cannot wait for the follow up video!!! How many times people got poisoned from the consequences of super glue and Styrofoam toxic chemicals inhaled!!!
Applying Super Glue (cyanoacrylate) to cotton or wool results in a rapid chemical reaction that releases enough heat to cause minor burns, so typically this should be avoided. However, if enough cyanoacrylate is added to the cotton or wool, the fabric will catch on fire, making this a great trick to keep in mind in survival situations. Generally, cotton and wool are readily available and cyanoacrylate is always a good thing to have on hand in first aid kits, due to its wound sealing ability. So if you ever find yourself lost in the woods with nothing but a first aid kit and no other easy means to start a fire, this little trick might help you out.
Just yesterday I was using glue and, well accidentally squeezed out way to much and swiped it up with some tissue paper. It didn't caught fire but it did started to smoke for a bit.
Awesome. Since seeing one of your other videos I've used the cotton wool on a pvc model I was building from scratch. Your suggestions on how to extend the use of super glue are great. Thank you very much. Sharing this video today.
So helpful. Thanks! Also, I'm astonished by the number of people who evidently don't keep super glue around, judging by the comments about the expense of repairing versus buying. As a homeowner with several cats, fixing before buying is my preference.
As a teen, when model building landscapes, we used Poly-styrene model glue to sculpt fantastic forms in styrofoam, we used builders glue to smooth the surfaces, and spray coated them after. One SHOULD mention doing that, or using the superglue methods above produce some highly toxic fumes, and should be done in a very well ventilated area, and preferably you should be using a filter mask.
This works as long as you don’t breath in those fumes AND never heat up the repaired area. Super glue will turn back into liquid state when warm enough.
This is an old thing,my tatang (grandfather) will dissolve styrofoam with gasoline ,used in covering holes on roof,and yes,for broken things. I love watching him fix stuff.
This has always been a bit of an issue with model scenery building. Never thought to use it as a filler for solid plastic parts though. Very interesting 🤔👍
Additionally, if using baking powder & CA glue, adding a tiny amount of mica powder allows the in-fill to be died a more fitting colour. Plus, if, like me, you only use small amounts of CA glue at any one time, it is MUCH less expensive to buy a bag of 20 or 40 or so 2g or 3g tubes of false nail glue, the same as they use in nail salons. It’s the same stuff, CA / cyanoacrylate glue, just way cheaper per tube. And you get loads of tubes to keep you going, instead of just a few tubes that you get when they call it ‘superglue’.
The music is so suspenseful but yet relaxing at the same time. I love it I hope I remember some of these tricks next time the need arises. I can't wait to try it out
It's a solid that you can easily shape and store. BS is a messy powder that goes everywhere. I especially like how SF can bridge gaps to fill a hole, which you can't do with a powder
@@bigglyguy8429 *"...SF can bridge gaps to fill a hole, which you can't do with a powder"* Just use tape on one side of the hole, remove after repair hardens.
The several instances of whacking the repaired item rapidly with a rod embarrassingly reminds me of how Benny Hill used to whack his small, bald Irish stooge on the head in many an episode of the Benny Hill Show. Am I the only ageing TV viewer to get this odd flashback of nostalgia from an unrelated DIY video? 😉
Wow something to do with styrofoam I know it takes and it ludicrously long time for it to biodegrade what was it like a over a thousand years or some junk wow that's impressive you can actually finally do something with it thank you. 👍👍👍😀😃😃😀
I only know super glue can melt styrofoam due to accidental styrofoam modelling fix but I couldn't think of any other useful application from this combo untill this video. Thanks for sharing
I noticed at the end that the cotton wool sounds dense and lower than the others, while the baking soda sounded high-pitched and seemed more brittle. Can any experienced person advise on this? Thanks and great video op!
The fumes developed here are highly toxic. Dont inhale, use gloves, mask and only do this in a well ventilated area
Thank you for mentioning this critical fact!
Snowflakes
Aren't all cyanoacrylate fumes highly toxic though? Or does Styrofoam provide another more toxic reaction?
@@TuxraGamer Styrene fumes or particles are toxic. But you're right. Cyanoacrylates are as well.
Okay Dad

Good job,, very amazing bro👍👍
That’s a good one. I use baking soda and “crazy glue” from time to time, but never thought about styrofoam
If I ever find myself needing to repair a plastic hangar with styrofoam and super glue, that’ll be rock bottom
😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤯
realistically it was the plastic Tupperware being restored that was the real application
I’m surprised why nobody’s talking about background music. It’s amazing. 😢
I was actually wondering a bit about that....
It's obvious that someone put some effort into it 👍

@@MyCatInABox yes ; the music is beautiful!
It's from the movie Interstellar isn't it?
So when would you use this method instead of the baking soda method? When you have a gap to bridge,?

So you prevent your cats from breaking things by supergluing their paws to the floor?
@@oneandonlyjaybee Lol! I'm too afraid they will pull the flooring right up. They are the most determined creatures I have ever known.
I buy superglue, use it once, when I need it again a month later it's no good.
That's why I don't stock unless I can find a pack of mini-tubes.
@@bignicebear2428 I had the same problem then I found super glue in bottles and those work much better. I've had them last for years.

Hopefully, this means that we can repair and re-use our plastic instead of dumping and polluting the world. Love and thanks from the UK x
right, go ahead and patch a pipe in your house and flood it instead of spending 69 cents on a piece of pipe
Now I know how to fix ANYTHING!! WOW THANKS!!!!!
Is styrofoam better for cold temperatures than baking soda when combining with superglue?
Most epic super glue music video ever!!!
Why am I so intrigued by these videos? Very cool
These are super interesting videos, and the bonus is that beautiful background music doesn't tap-dance on my head.

Cementing in memory. Agreed. The number of things that I 'could've' fixed, is embarrassing.
As I was watching this video yawning I thought..sure hope this gets better. But I was glued to it and continued to watch. 😆😂😂

Very very impressive, we can add baking soda as well for extra strength..

Melts Styrofoam onto surface with superglue, smacks with wrench 💯 best product
Yeah man it is, give it a shot, works on anything
@@Top-Jimmy I have and now I'm living my best life because of it.
A drawback is the high cost of superglue, being that for these repairs it is used quite generously.
High cost because it was bought by Just Stop Oil protester 😂
Dollar Store...

Speeded-up Benny. He could go through a bunch o' girlies like a viagrian rabbit. Much like us oldies of today.
Now you’ve said it, I can’t unsee it, those were the days 😂
Does it add anything or is it just as useful as normal superglue?
I think it just acts as a binding agent.
@@anylife_photography oooooo ok thanks!!
Very cool video 👍
Finally found something that could fix my headphone💯
Gonna try it on mine. Good ones. Years gone was gonna just ditch them. Thanks for the tip.
I have been doing it since my childhood. it is stronger than a faviquick application
Compare with baking soda ,with one is stronger?
I'm the only who had shivers when the boxcuter cutted the styrofoam?
I discovered superglue as a styrofoam melter as a curious child.
That is bloody brilliant! I have subscribed thank you
