Super glue and baking soda

Please explain?

The baking soda makes the super glue form a super hard resin. I've repaired many plastic parts with it. I've read it has been used to repair helicopter blades.

I shouldn't even ask but did you hear that from I Herd or Tha Said? Them jokers spread more BS than Farmer Brown's old bull.

I can think of two things that should NOT be repaired. Plastic radiators and helicopter blades.

Old school metal radiators not included but I witnessed the destruction of a $40,000 generator from a repaired radiator fail. I have seen many a metal radiator have the tanks removed and re-soldered with great success but on this one they soldered a stress crack in the tank. A new crack opened just inches from the first and the overheat protection failed to shut it down. This was on a University research building and thousands more along with years or research was lost due to the ultra low freezers that went down.

So the overheat protection failed.

That is how they fix helicopter blades. Blades are a lot bigger than most folks think.

Did they not have any overheating measures in place for a $40,000 engine designed to run unattended? I do agree repairing plastic radiators is a lost cause.

Joke all you want. It works. For $5.00 test it out u will see. There's plenty of info to back it up just Google it.

Super glue for helicopter blades???
Sure would like to see the FAA/DOT PMA approval no's!
and.....the extensive test results required.

But then it was on the 'net so it must be a true fact----------------!
