Ever broken a tool in the middle of a project, but it's too late in the day, or you're too over the project to do much about it but swear (or possibly cry)?
Next, you think about Duct taping it together and go so far as to come up with a splint-type fix-it plan, but as you're getting the piece of starter wood from the woodpile, you realize it's just a pipe dream.At ACE, we break stuff all the time, and we thought fixing things like shovel and broom handles, chairs, hoses, and leaky PVC pipe was just a
dream too, until we were introduced to Fiber Fix. It's 100 times stronger than Duct tape, it hardens like steel and it just wraps around the broken area!I know what you're thinking - at the moment it only comes in black, but it's paintable, and sandable.
I'm thinking this is a must in our household's camping kit and in the car's tool kit next to the Duct tape!
For full instructions, check out this video, but it's really easy to use: Just wet it, tightly wrap
the item to be fixed, wait five to 10 minutes and get back to work. It will be fully cured after 24 hours and is meant to be a permanent repair. It comes with gloves, and we recommend using them. The resin will stay on whatever it touches (ie: hands, clothes), so if you trim it with scissors, or get it on your hands, wash the resin off quickly. See instructions for full safety details.Find FiberFix at all four of our locations: Half Moon Bay, Palo Alto, San Mateo and Willow Glen.
