Excellent

First off- I ordered this from Amazon, but the package I received was in rough shape. The box was ripped in multiple places, the labels on the cement were yellowed and had fallen off, and one of the bottles of cement had been opened already. Both bottles were less than crystal clear. I was in a time crunch and since this stuff is supposed to have a 2 year shelf life, I tried the open bottle. Unfortunately it wouldn't stick anything together. Even got some on my fingers and no sticking. Contacted Amazon and they issued a refund, no hassle. Set to work getting another (hopefully fresh) pack. Including this info because clearly this was just a bad/old package and should not be a reflection on the product, but a note to look for yellowing labels or liquid if you get it because it's probably a sign the product is past it's shelf life.Got a second pack and then fell in love with this stuff. It's now one of my favourite hidden gems.I was installing a rear dash cam in my Jeep and decided to take the time to run the cable through the the factory wire tubes and under the rear lift trim so it wasn't dangling. In the process of removing the trim panel, I broke 5 of the plastic mounts that the trim fasteners attach to (see pic). I've tried many kinds of adhesives including many epoxy and super glue products in the past to try and mend broken plastic things, but nothing has ever worked. I figured I was going to have to replace the whole trim panel, but then saw Q Bond on a Youtube video.With a fresh pack in hand, I followed the process on the first broken tab- apply the glue and hold the pieces in place for 20 seconds. I waited 30. Let go and the piece held. Then I sprinkled some of the black powder on one side of the now re-attached tab, poured some glue on it and watched it smoke. Flipped it over and repeated on the other side, then tested it. It was rock solid, so I installed the metal clip and repeated the process with the rest of the broken tabs. All went great except one. On one of them, I didn't line the tab back up correctly as the glue set, so it was at a weird angle. I had to file down the hardened black powder to get the clip on, so there wasn't much left supporting the glue.Decided to re-install the trim back in the Jeep and finish installing the dash cam around lunch time on Christmas day, before heading out to visit family. Everything clipped back into place except the one I had botched. It broke off. I was scared to take the panel back off because although it had snapped in firmly back in place, I thought that prying the clips back out may re-snap the plastic tabs. So... I tried to fix the last one in-place on the Jeep. Bad idea. Long story short, because of the position, when I tried to apply the glue to the black powder, some of it dripped on my fingers. Unlike with the first pack, this time three of them boded together instantly. In a mad panic, and suddenly envisioning Christmas day in the Emergency Room, I raced to the bathroom and used a lot of hot water, soap and gentle prying. Eventually I got them separated. Crisis avoided!Not wanting to go through that again, I opted to risk removing the trim panel again, and to my amazement, not a single tab broke off. I re-did the one I botched (you can just sand or file off the old glue/powder and start from scratch), put the clip on and plopped the trim back in place. It's been on for 4 months and no issues.I've since used it again to repair a dust bag attachment for my palm sander. It broke years ago and I keep cobbling it together with duct tape because I can't find a replacement. 30 minutes of cleaning and 5 minutes of applying Q bond, and now I finally have a solid, working dust bag.If you need to fix broken plastic, this will do it. The piece doesn't look clean and tidy after you apply it, so not for something that needs to look nice, but for things like car parts and tools where it won't be seen or doesn't need to look good, but needs to be strong, this is killer. Two obvious tips- make sure the fluid is clear and not yellowing to be sure you have a fresh product. The initial glue should bond the plastic together and hold it in place within seconds. If it doesn't, it's old. And make sure you wear gloves!

The best glue ever although a little expensive

I needed to repair my Moto Guzzi fairing and this stuff worked.

This product arrived at the house without any damages. No leaks to the product of any kind. Everything was boxed up and brand new.A guy at work told me about this stuff. It works really well. He was telling me they had a hole in an oil pan from a bolt getting tightened down too much. They were able to fix the hole in the oil pan with the Q Bond. It held until the new pan arrived, which was around a week or so. After hearing that I knew I needed some. I'm constantly having stuff break and can barely fix it with Gorilla Glue or superglue.I had a belt buckle that was shipped to me and broken in transit. I got a refund on it so it was free. I figured I might as well try to fix it. The stud that goes in the belt hole was broken off. I used gray powder Q Bond to put the stud back on the belt buckle. As seen in the picture it is holding fine. That is a pretty big deal since that stud has a lot of force on it once placed in the belt hole.I had a piece of plastic break off my cup holder lid in the car. The lif would no longer stay closed since the piece of plastic was what locked it into place. I used this product to place the plastic piece back on. It held just fine and the lid now operates as it should. No other glue would give such a clean fix.Don't glue your fingers together! The liquid glue sets up quickly. I almost lost a finger to the buckle. Really though, I did have to pull it off pretty quick. It is faster setting than super glue. I will use more caution next time and shouldn't have any problems.I like the little box that everything comes in. I'm keeping it in there to keep it organized. Everything comes with two little thumbtacks to scuff up the surface before you work on it. A scuffed surface holds the powder better and allows you to get the liquid to it. With proper powder placement you will have a clean fix. Like I said before, like no other glue that I've tried provides this.The cowl on my F-150 has been messed up since the day I got it. The two pieces always wanted to separate and the driver side rise up. I could snap it back together but it wouldn't hold very long. I got tired of fooling with it. I put Q Bond down in between those two cowl pieces and now it is held together. I haven't had it come back apart since I did this.I've already recommended this to a lot of people. Especially when I see that someone is trying to fix something or has something broke. I will be keeping this stuff on hand from now on. I'm just surprised I hadn't heard of it until recently, especially since it works so well.

I bought this to repair a broken rear fairing on my bike. Worked great.BUT, if you have to bend the joint at all, this glue is useless. It creates an inflexible solid cast. Fantastic for 99% of plastic repairs, but if you have to bend a motorcycle fairing to get it on the bike, the crack will re-break.
