I just dropped my flat iron and the plate was halfway off and I'm like no way I'm buying another one, there has to be someone on TH-cam that knows how to fix it, and it was you lol. Thank you so much!
My wife dropped her GHD straightener which snapped off the little plastic tabs under one ceramic plate. The process and product you've described worked really well. Thanks
OMG Thank you so much I am out of work right now and my flat iron broke on my last day of work I didnt know what I was going to do to get ready for future interviews with a broken flat iron YOU REALLY SAVED ME gonna try this tonight pray for me they have JB Weld in Canada :)
Thank you so much! I was so upset when my croc plate came loose at the thought of shelling out all that money on a new one or even worse having to get a cheap one but you saved me.
Thank you so much! Your video saved me from having to buy a new flat iron. Plus, I also fixed my vacuum cleaner with JB Weld. I wish I knew about this amazing, strong glue years ago.
So funny that this is from about 10 years ago. Around that time I dropped my favorite pair and one plate fell out like this... I still have them because they were somewhat new. They are right now within arms reach and looks like they will be repaired soon. Thank you!
thanks for posting! as soon as i saw this vid, i literally went and pulled my fhi out of the waste basket in my rm..!! next trip to walmart im getting JBweld! =D
My chi iron did that too. It was 18 years old. I used elmers glue lol. I was in a crunch. Will go back and use your suggestions when it comes off again. Thanks.
Hello there, i have a straightener, a hand me down, looks like the one in the video but the brand name is wiped off, thats why im trying to figure out what brand it is. Its plates are orange! I think its a chi, what does urs look like? The on and off button is on the outside and it turns on a green light!
Thank you for this video. A piece of the ceramic plate on my straightener chipped off, so I will try this glue on it and let you know how it works. I have a feeling it will work just fine as I’m reading other comments. Thanks a lot!
You Totally Rock ........ Thank u so much my daughter paid 300 for a pair of herstyler irons a few years back and she allowed the warranty to expire thank you thank you.....
omg ! thanks so much for this review ! i ordered the glue from amazon.com. came in 3 days. it does smell, but it took care of the problem. thanks a lot.
loved your video...exactly what i did and how i felt.......also thanks for letting us know the department the epoxy was in cause unless you go to the automotive section they dont know they even have it.........so thanks again.
all that wiggling off the plate in the beginning.. can break the wires loose off the plate.. which would be non fixable after permanently bonding it like that
Tks for the video. Was just about to buy another expensive flat iron until I saw this. Researched the epoxy u are using but it does not say heat resistent and JB Weld has a heat resistent one already mixed. Would this one also be just as good?
So just a follow-up.. did the plate ever pop back out since repairing it? I thought I had mine fixed once, and about a week later the glue gave way and it came back out. Thanks! Cute video, too!
so what if one of my plates (the one above the LED light) only turns on if it is pushed down all the way on the right side of the plate? it's really weird because this plate didn't actually pop out but it only works if it is pushed down a certain way. would your repair method still work for this? thanks :)
you have just increased your chances of causing the heater element to break, you have no play on that plate and the shock when closing the ions together will go strait threw heater element as they is no shock absorption on that plate. It would of cost less to buy a new part from ion originals.

Very helpful, I really wasn't trying to pay over $100 for a new CHI iron.
Thank you so much! Your video saved me from having to buy a new flat iron. Plus, I also fixed my vacuum cleaner with JB Weld. I wish I knew about this amazing, strong glue years ago.
Thank you so much. This is still working in 2022. Lol I say there were faster drying J-B Weld hardener but I stuck to the original.
My Keratin Complex flat iron cost me too much and I didn’t know what to do!! I’m glad I find your video. Thank you so much!!
i have successfully repaired my FHI RUNWAY .. thank you so much! you are awesome!!!
So funny that this is from about 10 years ago. Around that time I dropped my favorite pair and one plate fell out like this... I still have them because they were somewhat new. They are right now within arms reach and looks like they will be repaired soon. Thank you!
Thanks for this video! I bought it from Walmart for under 5 bucks and fixed my favorite cricket iron I used in cosmetology school :-)
I shared this with me daughter hopeful she appreciates DIY

Great advice. I’ve used this twice with Selleys Kwik Grip (Australia) - no mixing.

That just happened to me 😢😢
CRAZY GLUE STICKS FOR A WHILE BUT IT MELTS FROM THE CONSTANT EXCESSIVE HEAT . I TRIED IT
Thank you so much I’ll try this to fix my hair straightener 🤎
Thank you very much for the informative video! It was helpful to me thank you.
Blessings!! on my way to Walmart:)
Tks for the video. Was just about to buy another expensive flat iron until I saw this. Researched the epoxy u are using but it does not say heat resistent and JB Weld has a heat resistent one already mixed. Would this one also be just as good?
Just what I needed. Thank you!!

Thank u helped me alot! Saved my husband some $ lol 😊😉😊😉
@graylife21 I would say no. JB WELD is a different chemical bond. JB WELD has temp ranges indicating it can be used with heated or cooled objects.
Yay! Thank you so very much! You are a doll.
I have a probliss, it was a simple solution i already figured it out thanks
She's so gorgeous
Desde España. Muchas gracias por tu aporte. wapisima. ;)
@yourhairchic YES! I SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED MY FHI RUNWAY!!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!
About to try it!
very helpful! thanks!
what if my flat iron is chipped? like only half of it broke off can I still do this?
Thank you!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
OMG, you are soo clever:-)
@janet77777 Thank you :) I was trying make it fun :) I still need loosen up infront of the camera lol
Thank you
what kind of straightener is this? how can you fix one that wont heat up anymore?
Great! Thanks!
What kind of glue is this
@guacgirl did you give it a try?
Thank you!
what if my ceramic plate literally broke off? will the glue still work that way??
I im afraid it can be dangerous tell me if it's safe
omg i hope this works i have a $400 runway fhi that looks just like that!!!!
how much is the jb weld?? omg i cant wait to try
I bought mine off eBay and it works but the pan is loose. Lady tried to tell me you can change out the panels with a crimper. Yeah right
Mine barely pops out, is it still safe to use?
do you need both tubes of JB weld?
what model ghd is it and what is the problem ?
Thanks!!!!
is it a ghd if so what model is it
i wish i had seen this before i trew a way my chi arrrrrgg
Thx!
so i cant use crazy glue?
*use..... and it still has the cushion effect :-)
@420courtiebabe No mam it stays in place... Unless you drop it alot lol
❤
thanks i love you
@iluvmybangs thank you :)
so what if one of my plates (the one above the LED light) only turns on if it is pushed down all the way on the right side of the plate? it's really weird because this plate didn't actually pop out but it only works if it is pushed down a certain way. would your repair method still work for this? thanks :)
Sounds like a connection/wire which repairing you would have to release plate then glue back I guess💁
Lol why am I answering a 9 yr old Q 🤦
Ahhh this happened to me today!
شكرا حبي
you have just increased your chances of causing the heater element to break, you have no play on that plate and the shock when closing the ions together will go strait threw heater element as they is no shock absorption on that plate. It would of cost less to buy a new part from ion originals.
Any suggestions for repair steps/process which would help avoid the issues you mentioned please 🙏
Do you work for ion originals lol
Am I the only one that tried it and didn't work for them? :(
dont glue it thats just crap replace the black bit on the back of the plate i repai ghd,s i know these things
It's 13 bucks at Wal Mart...
Omg get to the point
Wouldn't you get a discount on a new ghd anyway? So glad you're not my hairdresser...
omg ! thanks so much for this review ! i ordered the glue from amazon.com. came in 3 days. it does smell, but it took care of the problem. thanks a lot.
