Does QuickFix Liquid Plastic Really Fix Products in Under 5 Seconds?

 In today’s world, people prefer buying new items to avoid the hassle of getting repairs. To be honest, how many times have you repaired that plastic chair that broke or the glass that you accidentally smashed? It’s a habit to clean up after broken items and buy another one as a replacement.

However, every time something breaks, you cannot just replace it with a new shiny product.

After all, that is, undeniably, quite an expensive approach in the long run. Also, we cannot ignore the negative environmental impact of buying new plastic products. Therefore, as solution-oriented beings, we keep on looking for quick solutions to repair small things conveniently.

A product called quick fix liquid plastic in the USA claims it can make short work of repairs to plastic, glass, fabric, wood, and more. The reviews that we can see about this product contradict some supporting the claims and others totally disregarding it.

So, we decided to put this product to test out all the broken stuff lying around our place. Want to know if it really works? Keep on reading!

But before getting into that, we want you to know that QuickFix liquid plastic is not a glue but a plastic bonding compound. The pen is designed to have a squeezable liquid plastic applicator on one end and a UV light on the other hand. This UV light helps in curing the liquid plastic to a solid one, making it sturdy again.

Now let’s put various objects to test so that we can give this product a fair chance.

Firstly, let’s see if it can repair the broken glasses. We applied the liquid plastic and cured the liquid with the UV light for five seconds exactly. It went everywhere and stayed on the glasses’ rim, so it didn’t work. Doing that was also messy, and we realize that it is not a one-person job as it requires assistance. One for holding the product in place and the other for applying and curing the liquid.

With that realization in mind, we were all set for round two of fixing the glasses.

We repeated the process, and after the UV light was turned off, we were impressed. It appeared that the quick fix actually fixed the glasses. We tried them on, and it did bond the pieces together but was not as smooth, and the plastic was peaking through. We tried sand-papering the plastic, but it was not worth wearing after that.

Even though the product did its job, we would not recommend using it on glasses if you don’t prefer wearing a scrappy set of glasses.

Next, we tried it on the base of one of the broken wine glasses. This time, we applied more product and allowed more time for the curing process. We wiggled the glass and were delighted to see that the quick fix create a strong bond that did repair the glasses. We would totally use Quickfix again for repairing glass and another crockery

Next,

We applied the liquid plastic to the porcelain bird that was knocked off the shelf, but we didn’t have the heart to throw it away. It bonded the two broken halves nicely together. We allowed it to sit for about an hour and then tested it again. The bond held even when we exerted a little too much force.

After that, we tried to use just the liquid to fix it without curing it with the UV light on a porcelain plate and kept it for 15 minutes. Without using the UV light, we found out that the broken shard did not bond with the other part. We then flipped on the UV light for five seconds only, and the plastic bonded quickly and firmly.

Conclusion

After using it, we can see what the hype of quickfix liquid plastic in USA was about. And we do agree to it on some levels. We have a theory of our own: the liquid plastic work when the UV light can get through the surface and doesn’t really work if it cannot. Think of it like a band-aid rather than a medicine, and you will be good to go.
