- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ค. 2024
- 5 Second Fix is advertised as a liquid plastic welding compound. Does it hold up to some of the advertising claims? That's what I'll attempt to find out in this review of 5 Second Fix.

whats up with the music LOL ... I feel like I'm about to go on a epic journey with a glue stick
For real. It sounds like music that would accompany a montage depicting one’s downward spiral with drug addiction. 😕
qotsawhiskey86 grow up
Spruce Mouthman
Yeah? What did you find immature about my comment?
qotsawhiskey86 go back to listening to nickelback, whitey.
Spruce Mouthman
Don’t dodge my question.
“Whitey?” “Nickelback?” Wtf? How?
You completely missed the point of this product. It is advertised honestly. It is a "fix" that lasts 5 seconds.
Wow you're right!
Freakin' Reviews Hey, if there's one thing I have, it's a grasp of the obvious. 😉😉
i only use the light to see the crazy places in my room where ive wiped semen.....honestly im disgusted with myself at how high up on the wall it was
מה שמגיע בדואר זה מוצר לא טוב ולא מה שמוצג בסירטון
James,
See your Dentist, He/she has a U.V. light.
Not that you need a Dentist, just an appointment to ask. "Would this work on a tooth?"
It doesn't make the magical sound the t.v. ad gives us huh? Good review.
If it made that sound, I'd definitely recommend buying it!

Music is killing me........
Mike Fusaro you must be a violent person
Mike Fusaro I literally fell asleep watching this because of the music
It’s super sad
I quite liked it (shrug) it matched the slow pacing and the led purple hue was kind of a relaxing color so that fit as well. Even if you hated the music it's still better than this product.
super annoying musc
I use it to fix my glasses when the arm breaks off. My glasses are plastics, and it works great, but I do layer it up a bit
So it’s UV resin... crafters have been using that stuff for years! 😂
Lexxtech18 wow! astute observation Lex, nothin gets by you
@@BIaccCat leave her alone you bully. Ignore him Lex x
I’m guessing this stuff is very similar to UV gel used for fingernail extensions and art work. I love that stuff, and became interested in resin artwork as an offshoot. People should realize that every product has limitations. If it works for what you need, then that’s great. If not, try something else. Thank you for this nice review!
I think u explained what we can expect if we decide to use the 5 second fix. I appreciate how level headed u are & use common sense about the product:) (And the music didn't bother me at all it actually calmed me down lol)
I am wondering if the UV led light is strong enough. UV cured nail polish is very particular with the actual light source and time cured. Many manufacturers recommend only using their own lamp source. Some UV nail polishes only require 2 minute cure time, others 3 minutes. It mainly depends on the power of that led light. It may pay to test with other UV light sources.
Just because the proto model worked, doesn't mean corners weren't cut in production. But, we are talking about a $2 to $5 buck product. Not a miracle cure.
I love your videos, your humor helps a lot, too many reviewer are too serious!
I tried this on a set of headphones that snapped. It doesn't work. The stuff is brittle and just snaps again. I've checked instructions and multiple TH-cam videos. It is rubbish.
You might try E6000.. I don't know if it works for you, but it stays elastic.. Takes some time to cure.. I used it many times for things which need to stay flexible and it works really well 👍 (Waterproof too)
JB Weld holds the world together!
It worked GREAT on my reading glass lense the chip is still intact and I've dropped them again several times and it's in the area where the nut that holds the ear wing on. No complaints here.
It’s like gel nails...cured with UV light
I love you too !
Alyson Bouchard wow you are smart one!
On dark items, chamfer the edges of the items to be welded. Doing this will produce a good strong join that can then be sanded down to match the edges of the repaired item. Then, give it a polish if it is a shiny surface. Good stuff regardless. Don't forget this is the same stuff the dentist uses to fill a cavity.
velcroman11 Mine must be defective! This isn't want my dentist uses, he's usually doing Mercury/Alalgum dinnlings.
Jo LAKE Same here. Modern dentists are moving away from the mercury fillings because of the controversy but I've had some for over 20 years and no issues.
What I use with this is some fiberglass and/or silk nail wrap and work in layers around certain items to add strength and it works like a dream. (This is my girly way of thinking, combining cosmetic application and handy work.lol) if you look up how to repair a nail with uv gel and fiberglass/silk wraps, it should give you an idea of what imean. The rolls of wraps you can get are super cheap and the perfect size for doing small repairs. The wrap turns nearly transparent as the resin is applied and cured as well. Fixed one of my mixing spatulas that I use daily that was split in half applying a little bit of the uv gel between the halves, doing a "flash cure" to get it to hold so I don't need three hands to wrap and "glue" and apply the gel on each layer curing in between for 3 layers and the darn thing has lasted for months with heavy use and even mixes very viscous products. Anyhoo, just wanted to give some tips for anyone who has the product already etc. Great thorough review. I tfs! Subbed for sure!!
Oh and if I am doing a little bit bigger repair or not in a hurry, I use my uv gel nail lamp to cure the "glue" hands free. You can find them super cheap on Amazon in a variety of sizes. I even have a portable one the size of my palm that has retractable legs to use and then snap back in place for easy travel, like in your pocket or something. And I just use my bigger (huge)one like o said, for bigger repairs.lol
I was rooting for you Clear Plastic Spoon..! WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU..! 🤣
Your reviews are so detailed, I love it
This music is too peaceful and almost suspenseful for a ASOTV review. It leaves me with a feeling of suspense over whether the popsicle stick will stay together or not. 😂
Odd for this video however, that music is relaxing and great as chill out ambient sounds or sleeping. I like it and would like to have the track/s.
THANK YOU for the info. I didn't use it like glue, and it did attach a piece of wrought iron curl to a design.
Thank G-D!!!! For yeeeears I have been looking for something that would fix my drawer of broken plastic spoons I just could never bring myself to get rid of. Now, the real question is will it hold up to my favorite broken styrofoam cup...?
I used the glue just the other day to repair a spun bearing in a plastic housing of a cordless grinder, the bearing seized and spun the bearing wearing the plastic down so it was a sloppy fit, after a few layers of the uv glue were applied the bearing was a great tight fit again and was a perfect cure for my use, I have used it several times for different jobs and it has been great for the right type of use.
Good morning James I'm just curious to know how long is the longevity of the bulb of the 5 second fix and is there a replacement for once it blows?
I might give it try! I make earrings and would like to secure the jump ring more. I usually weld it together. That works well.
This stuff is just like the UV gel used to create fake nails which are brushed on in layers and each layer is put under a UV light to cure before the next layer of nail is added. I have also used these UV gels to add a shiny gloss to the outside of my polymer clay jewelry creations. I've also seen it used to make fishing lures. As you said it can be cured pretty quickly in direct sunlight. It works great in a place like Las Vegas and Arizona where we have sunshine all year long. It's a great product once you know how to use it. There are many different brands of in on the market, many of them can be found for sale on Amazon. One that I use most goes by the name of MagicGloss, but if you want to find others just look up UV gels on Amazon for a list of them for sale. I hope my info helps and adds to what you've already said. Great review! Take care, Dee😉👍
Best glue I found is JB Weld. Try that. The slow cure is the best
The 5min JBWeld not so good
John Luciano not sure how you can have a “best glue” because different situations and different substances require different glues. That being said, yes JB weld is one of the best two-part epoxy glues out there
Awesome job doing reviews man you keep it real
What was the ambient music in the background? Sounds like the soundtrack to the video game Eve Online.
I was out bush hunting and broke the plastic piece at the top of my radiator over flow hose. I did a quick bush repair and it ended up lasting 18 months. I'd actually forgot all about it.
Hey!!
Thank you!
Mine came without instructions and the tube of solution cracked and came out at the seam.
It didn't work at first. Tried to do it like super glue. Watched your video and did it like a weld. Tahdah! Success.
Thanks
5 second is not welding. Welding 'fuses' the materials together. Super Glue is a good glue but there are some surfaces that won't take it. There are probably materials that won't take 5 Second Fix, there are some surfaces that will not take it. It wouldn't stop me from using it because of the facility to move the surfaces about, that's a really good option. Great review very objective, thank you.
Is it safe to use to drink out of or for food?
Thanks for the tests. :)
Found it work really well on certain types of plastic, on others not so good. Depending what you are fixing it may help to layer it so to build a solid connection.
Yeah so it holds up to .00000002 lbs worth of pressure. Forget that this a hole company tries to say it welds a winch cable enough to tow a vehicle onto a flatbed.
bs product
Tamcat 21 So just because you speak your opinion that means I have to follow your orders? One im not your lap dog. Secondly who the fuck are you to tell me what to do? What we have here is some keyboard warrior who with zero intelligence. Yeah im going to take advice from someone that is a product of incest.
Tamcat 21 coming from a homophobe using the word faggot. You truly are a waste
Father Flanagan that's disgusting. I have no problem with gay people, but there are lines between sexual desire, sex in genders, and sex in relationship. They work a little differently.
I sawed this boat in half
🐱
I can personally attest to the validity of this product. I use it for hinge repairs on Laptops. It does require quite a bit of the glue, but it works very well. Weird to get used to though.
Can Five-Second Fix fix my parents marriage?
yes, for another 5 secs
Gorilla glue super glue gel works best, never had any issues. Always fixed things. Had an old Ford with those chrome mirrors on the side, well the chrome housing came off tried everything from adhesive to jb weld. Got that shook the bottle glued a drop in each corner plus the middle held it for about 10 seconds stayed on for 4yrs
What happened after that?
ferociousgumby Not sure, sold the truck
Great review, intelligent, articulate and a great variety of useful examples. Your commentary was just great, now that I own it, and haven't used it yet, I'm wondering if it ever be useful.
you do really nice reviews!
subbed.
Thanks Steven.
I am glad I found you channel. Also what is the music on this video. Would be a good sleeping sound.
Thanks! The music in this one I found in the free TH-cam audio library in the "Ambient" genre!
I wonder if this would do better with longer exposure to the UV. The fastest curing UV resin on the market will still take a couple minutes of exposure to UV, and that's normally a bigger lamp that can get all angles. (This can also be done in sunlight, although it would take half an hour or more in comparison to a few minutes with a lamp.)
I was watching this high as fuck and that music completely zoned me out. It sent me to another planet
Do you need to wear protective glasses or googles? instructions say you ahould wear them
Can you cure it quickly using the light, then hold the bits together?
the light just gives you something to do while the glue dries so you are not bored during that time
I was looking for a review like this one Thanks!
Thanks I was wondering if this is good or not. I know super glue isn’t what it used to be! I have tried using super glue on a couple things and it didn’t stick instantly like
It use to be. So I don’t know what’s going on
I just want to know if it is waterproof, heat proof (does it burn like a piece of plastic?), oil or petrol proof or anything else proof. I also want to know if it ages well or disintergrates after 6 months. Ie I want the nitty gritty detail but find it is totally absent everywhere.
Thanks..very well done. Concept is great but not really worth it in practice. I believe it is the "3 hand" problem you identified. Holding items still is really impossible on the micro level required for a good hardening..
Love the music could anyone tell me what it's called?
“Red” by okan sahin (something like that)
Does anyone know the music used in the first part of the review? It sounds so familiar, somehow
For filling a nut slot on a guitar that was cut too deep and causing a buzzing E string, it worked well.
I've repaired 5 pins holes in a hot tub what leaked air badly ... superb for that application
Good review overall. Light in the weld joint might be important. Maybe more practical repairs would be nice.
congrats you have solo cup repair kit
Cheaper to get a new cup.
Sometimes it is just easier to buy a new whatever. If you are gluing (using any glue) something of value, how safe do you feel with that item? Broken pair of glasses? Just take them to optometrist and buy a new frame. They will reset the lenses for you, usually at no cost for the reset. Just pay for the frames.
I fixed a 1cm hole in a tarp while it was raining it worked perfectly and is stronger than the tarp.
Layer you UV resin to give it strength. If you are fixing something that is going to have pressure on it do a few layers and it is 3x stronger.
This kinda reminds me of the blue glue that dentist use when they are putting braces on
I really like the music, anyone know the name of it? :)
^This man is my fucking hero. You win the internet for the rest of the week sir. May the interwebs bring you much joy.
You can only glue the outside of things with 5 second fix because the ultra violet light needs to see the glue. That's the big drawback.
good for building up chipped parts or small fixings layer by layer.
Reminds me of a super small glue gun with a pen light.
LOL, I thought it was humorous that a Loctite ad followed your review! Because of your conclusion, I’m going to Super Glue a model support (very small) then use Bondic, which I am guessing is the same as your 5 Second Fix, to add a little weld.
Edit: I watched another reviewer (I know, sorry!) his idea for not needing 3 hands is to ‘tack weld’ a spot to keep it together, then go back and complete your repair. Looked logical.
Works really great if you put it not around it but between it like you are putting it back together woth the glue in between. I used 5 second fix to bond together my engagement ring and wedding band and it worked perfectly! So happy with the result best $5 I ever spent looks like I got it professionally bonded!
>"Works really great if you put it not around it but between it like you are putting it back together woth the glue in between."
If you are putting it in between and then closing the gap, the UV light cannot get to it. You are supposed to put it around the break, plus it is better to use multiple layers.
The tricky part when repairing glasses.....is holding the glasses still in a way for them to connect properly and hold the darn light......I find that using a bit of super glue first to hold the pieces together....and then use the 5 second fix to secure them for a longer period of time.
Superglue and baking soda beats all, except in the beauty dept. Epoxy does yellow over time.
Tried 5 Second Fix on a broken folding chair on the plastic hinges. Despite several attempts it didn't hold. Maybe the stuff is good for repairing eyeglass frames but I wouldn't recommend it on anything that has even a minor amount of stress applied.
1SnuffySmith I doesn't work on glasses hit as either!
Maybe a good product to use along super glue, so that something can hold it together from the inside.
Super Glue laced with a sprinkling of baking soda never lets me down. It cures faster and much stronger.
Music was so dramatic, I nearly fell into a state of meditation ;) However, regarding your review? I found basically the same results so thanks - i.e. not too bad with some items, but totally useless with others. When my tube is finished I won't be purchasing anymore. Thanks for the upload
We all know one thing.
If you want this thing to work, you have to SAW THIS BOAT IN HALF.
Flex Fix
i have used 5second fit to sorta remake a nose piece for my safety glasses... these are my Rx so i just can't get them for 5$ the nose piece worn off so i used this to makeshift a nose piece with layer by layer material... i think if i would keep using this stuff is to get a much stronger UV light for better and fuller curing for mine was a slight sticky possibly from so much of the material being used but it works non the less for what i use that kind of stuff for... for gluing?? nothing says more serious then Qbond... can ask me more if your curious
Why do you apply on the outside of the break and not on the broken suface?
It only works where the UV light can reach, thus it functions more like tape than glue.
Stick with superglue and use the baking soda trick to set it fast and hard. Just put a sprinkle of baking soda on the glued spot to set it fast and solid
Next thing i'am going to try it on is> Car windshield cracks and pits > The rock pits, if you don't get to them soon it will start cracking. I'am going to try it any way. work or not work > My gf diamond ring put scratches on her windshield. where she took the top of her hand to clean off fog 😆couldn't wait for the defroster to work
I found this product preformed well.
I also found that rather applying along where 2 surfaces join on the outside that you need to apply it on the surface contact surfaces of the areas being connected. Apply as close to the edges as possible and cure. And then apply along the outside as you did and cure. This makes for an adhesion that is very powerful
The music had me in a trance. So calming.
and when your all out of 5 second fix glue .you can make the plastic pen into a sonic screwdriver if you are a doctor who nerd like me
Glass industry used or may still use this uv bonding technic to bond glass together for aquariums and the like, on a much larger scale than this little pen of course. So it works just probably not as good in such a small configuration. Thanks bra!
Where can I find the Music?
It's called "Red" by Okan Sahin (CL found it)
Thanks!
It works for open connections
I bought this product and is does work if it's an open connection
popsicle stick was bonded with a huge gap. what did you expect? hold it using only a fraction of available space? it isn't universal fix all.
bonds two popsicle sticks. part of the feel after bonding shows him momentarily trying to separate the sticks from the side without any adhesive.
This is great stuff...you just gotta learn how to use it....in fact it is almost the exact same chemical as windshield crack repair kits...I put a hinge back onto my bathroom cupboard with it....that was almost 2 years ago. It is still hanging there
What's the music you used during the review
Based on this test....I'll use Epoxy. For really challenging repairs: Fiberglass.
I love the music. Very relaxing.
Will it work with a strip of LED lights?
Can you weld two wires together that have an electric current. That's the type of welding I want. Type of glue that will connect the wires together so I don't have to use a solder gun
Glad i saw this video. Low expectations for UV "glue" as an adhesive, but as a filler in fine word working maybe. Example, a fine clock with a gouge needing filling, if the plastic could be tinted, colored to match wood on clock then maybe it is repairable, with good color matching. Coloring plastic liquid is the problem, will UV work after tint mixed in? For my industrial epoxy fills, I used a non-reactive powdered color/tints found in art stores, forms a paste, infinite color possibilities, then layered taking hours to harden very solid! With UV, large sections of fill is easy, needing only moderate adhesion, with adequate color matching if tint-able ~~
So the question is, who made their product first, this company or Bondic? Reason being, I watched this VID thinking it was for Bondic, so it looks as though one company has allegedly pirated technology from the other. Just a thought though. Seems like your testing was what I'd do - - just to get a feel for the functionality of your product. Enjoyed your experimentation Sir, top notch VID!
I tried the 5 second fix to repair the headlight lenses on my truck, they were separated from the reflector part of the light, like the factory glue that was used to hold them together had gotten old and lost its hold. So I grabbed the 5 second fix product from a Pharma store, and it was kind of expensive I thought, like 15 dollars. So I thought if it works, 15 dollars is a lot cheaper than the cost of a brand new headlight by far. So I buy the stuff, and go out to my truck, and push my lenses back together, and I proceed to lay a bead on the seem, to weld together with the little light, and it seemed like it was working, so after I welded all around the light where I could reach, I thought I think it fixed it, so I drive back home which was about a 20 minute drive, and when I get home, I immediately got out to look to see if it was still holding, and it sure wasn’t, it popped back open and the lenses were sticking out wide open. So I thought, well there was 15 dollars waisted. What a fail.
I was trying to work out if this is contact glue or not... the leaflets don't say.
I have used with promising results... no glue will adhere to dirty greasy surfaces or poorly aligned surfaces. I always leave the product to sit for overnight before testing!
how do you get the glue to cum out i have squeezed it till my fingers hurt and nothing
I bought 5 second fix at my local Dollar Tree in December of 2017. Wish I had bought more now.7
Donna Lynn I got mine in a thrift store, for less than a $. It doesn't hold for glasses repair. It's week. TO GEYtA HOLD YOU MAKETO KEEP GOING REAPPLIMG VUGGER LOADS & UV BAXKE again.
Dump the glue. Refill with good clear UV epoxy, as a touch up, nick filling pen. Sand and paint in 30 secs. Mine just wore out after 20 full refills and the battery still has charge. Tip screws off btw.
Great production an this video. You must use a generous amount ACROSS the crack from one side to the other. It looks like your only putting a little bit right at the crack. Its not adhesive so you need to think of it as a support plastic that sticks to plastic. With that, you go widely across one side of the plastic to the other. dont think GLUE, think TAPE. Thanks for posting
I like that you are comparing, but there are particular products that should work better for these fixes. How about a good wood glue (like Titebond) or hot glue for wood, and E6000 for plastics and ceramics. Yes, you have to let them dry, but they will work well and are permanent! A good glue or bond should be as strong as the material after it's done.
I know it an old video but. I tie flies for fishing and use 5 sec fix for creating heads and securing some materials on the flies. There is a product by Loon outdoors that is almost the same thing as 5 sec fix for creating fly heads that is also a UV cureable product that is much more expensive.
I found 5 sec fix on clearance for 2.50 a tube so it can be purchased cheap just look around.
It worked better for me. I used it like super glue and didn't push the pieces together tight so the light could reach the middle. Didn't break under stress
You should try Lazer Bond USA. I find that it works slightly better than 5 second fix.
I use this for light duty stuff and hot glue for the heavier stuff. This stuff isn't great for places where you can't get inside with the UV light to harden the glue.
Also this type of glue is useless for things that get hot. I used one of these to glue a handle back onto a cooking pot and it lasted maybe one or two uses before the glue gave out it was sealed and no glue got inside the pot. I used a cabinet knob and it has a hex screw type thing that fits into the knob. I glued where the hex screw thing goes into the knob.
Thank you It really help me! and also thank you for being honest!
