Loctite's Kintsuglue can be used many ways to repair your favourite items.To use, simply clean the surface on which you will apply Kintsuglue. Knead for 10 seconds, then apply it and let it harden overnight.
Check out 11 ways to repair or upgrade your items.
Repair your secateurs and eliminate painful gardening blisters with a little Kintsuglue. Mold a sausage-shaped roll of the flexible putty around the handle of the offending tool and press your fingers into it to create a comfortable grip, custom-made for you.
Making everyday chores more comfortable is as easy as the quick application of this adhesive. Press a pack of putty around the hard metal handle of the bucket and grasp it hard to leave finger-shaped grooves. Et voila - a D.I.Y. ergonomic handle!
All those hours spent doing your laundry may have worn down the clothes rail. You can repair the broken rail of your clothes rack by holding together the broken pieces and wrapping Kintsuglue around it, spreading and smoothing the flexible putty to secure the break.
Has the handles snapped on your favourite ceramic mug? There's no need to break up the set. Use the shapeable glue to reattach the handle, molding the putty around the break, then allowing it to harden overnight before enjoying a morning cup of tea.
Address those annoying problems like a broken zip. Attach a paper clip to the zip loop, then apply Kintsuglue evenly around the paper clip, pressing it into the desired shape.
Need to fix your favourite shoes? Apply the flexible paste, let it harden overnight and start the day with your newly repaired footwear.
Reinforce or repair the protective casing around headphone and charging cables. Roll Kintsuglue into a sausage and press it flat. Place the putty around the cable and gently smooth out the marks.
Flex your creative muscles by forming the flexible putty into fanciful shapes and press the back of each shape into the wall. The monochrome menagerie (below) was made using white and black Kintsuglue, but the putty can also be painted any colour you like. Once cured, use to hang small items like keys or jewellery.
Use it to route cables along a wall for a safe and tidy solution to trailing cords. Position the cable as desired and press either side of the wall to secure in place.
Tip: Make into a feature by molding into fun shapes and paint once cured.
Protect blunt or sharp corners of furniture, such as tables or your island bench, to make them more child-friendly. Divide a pack into four balls. Mold each ball around a corner of the tabletop.
Reconstruct a missing bumper on the toilet seat with Kintsuglue. Mold half a pack of putty into the shape of the stopper. Press onto the broken stopper and let the putty cure for 24 hours.

Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer.
