 Are you not sure how to repair or glue something ceramic that broke today? We're going to show you how Hey there njrude22.com here with another how-to vlog today We're gonna have some fun with some basic gluing skills today We will cover the most fundamental aspects of basic gluing in this informative how-to tutorial. Let's get started Today we're gonna do something a little more complicated. We're gonna glue We're gonna glue a ceramic Drawer that came out of a pottery barn Thingamabob this little knob here fell off Or broke and I teach you how to do it first. We're gonna talk about the glues real quick you know ceramic is very porous and Since this has a lot of pieces. This is very forgiving. You can use almost any kind of glue with this I personally think epoxy is the best glue because you mix two Compounds together and it creates a chemical reaction and becomes very strong These other glues are not quite that way But I hate using epoxy. It's a big mess. It's complicated I just not complicated, but it's just a mess. All right, so you have various glues you can use there's this regular lock tight Super glue which I've had a lot of success with it works Without water and then you have this gorilla glue minis. These are great They also work if you're using a porous surface, you don't need water if you if you're gluing like metal and other non porous surfaces You can add a little water and that'll aid in the curing process, but I'm not going to do that either today We're going to use something called gorilla clear grip contact adhesive this bonds also But it in this case they recommend you glue both surfaces and wait a couple minutes for it to You know start its reaction with the air and then you then it'll make a stronger bond when you Connect it or you know put them put it back together and another important piece when gluing anything almost is Having a grip. These are called Irwin quick grips. I absolutely love these things They I have a lot of them you can never have enough keep them in all your Work areas in your house, and you'll never go running around for them but what I like to do is I like to test the The grip first just to go through a Go through the motions here. So when you're using something round like this It's it can be a little tricky and wobbly. So I like to go through the motions first just to make sure it's in and then basically Just go through a dry run with no how literally a dry run with no With no glue on and this see see there you go I'm kind of happy with the way that came in always use a bigger grip than you really need because you'll have more surface area on These little pads so that seems to the dry run seems to work. So what I'm going to do now Real quick is I'm going to put glue on both surfaces to get it Ready to go and I'll smooth it out a little on each side You may want to have a wet rag handy because there'll be some over spill And I'm going to put some on this this little piece here Spread it out It'll spread itself out when you put the Clamp on So I'll let that sit for a minute. You really should clean the tip off before you screw the The cap back on this will help keep it from getting all gunky. Hey, what's going on here? I hate this lens. I'm using it only because of the light situation now, but the light the lens is no good So I've waited about I don't know 30 seconds or so that I'm impatient here. So I'm just going to put this piece back on once I think that it has a Once it's incorrectly. I'm going to wipe a little bit of the extra glue off before I put the clamp on because I have room I really hate this camera lens, but I'm going to make sure it's set in pretty good Should use a wet rag really, but I don't really care. This is not mine So I'm going to set it so it's perfect. There's no once I think it's I Didn't clean it good enough I'm going to put the clamp on like I did before Worst lens ever really okay So that's all set now And I'll let that dry for the the instructions say a couple hours and buddy I think it cures within 24. So this little piece will be just like new but don't forget the the type of surface this lens really is the worst is We'll dictate what kind of glue You use I'm going to change the lens for my next video which is going to be fixing a battery tester So if you like please hit the subscribe button and all these bells and all that and I'll see you on the next video Have a nice day
