I was skeptical about this stuff but honestly was surprised it worked so well lol awesome product. Highly recommend. Not sure about the longevity but it does provide a solution to gluing rubber/silicone together.
I just used this product (the black version), and it is very impressive. I never knew cured silicone could be repaired. I would recommend not getting the SI black (or blue) to drip out from the edges of the two pieces of silicone (or wipe off any excess quickly), because while the result is flexible, this product is harder than the silicone. I used a rubber/silicone patch that they sell to over top of the tear in some places to reinforce my project.
People can criticise all they want, for what I need silicon repaired, it wont see much stress. From what I've seen from other videos, it's doing a plenty good job. I don't need it to withstand strong pulls or whatever. I just need to reconnect a piece of silicon so my tool can have its water resistance again.
will this glue work for my silicone baby...my cat somehow got in my hi end doll room and scatched up the head and pulled some of the baby scalp in small pieces away from head. Will this glue work on a silicone baby???? She is very high dollar.
Here is a fact that you will not see anywhere else. Silicone rubber is an elastomer. To achieve a quality, non-peelable bond with elastomers, you need to apply very firm pressure when you make the bond. Finally, this pressure only works when there is an ongoing chemical reaction ... which you get with the Process.
This video is unconvincing, and therefore of little value. The "silicone tube" you bonded was obviously latex, not silicone. Silicone tubing would be translucent white, or an opaque color. Any cyano acrylate "super glue" would have bonded that without any prep. The "testing" at the end was half-hearted and unimpressive. How about an end bond to the tubing, and a lap bond to the sheeting, with a real stretch test at the end? Silicone tube should stretch to over 500% elongation depending on the type, your 10% stretch made it look like you were worried it might break. How about a lap joint to the "poly" ( I assume polyethylene) and to itself with a measured peel strength tests? Rubbing the bonded pieces with a finger does not demonstrate it's bond strength, it makes you look like a trade show huckster.
Yes, need the soft silcone bonded. Not that old hard red stuff that rarely used. I have gone down the plastic bonding nonsense products. But fusion welding work great!
Terrible demonstration!Why? First you should always present your products from 1st step to last NOT final product first. Then you keep mentioning RUBBER as a product. Is this for silicone or Rubber? And finally when demonstrating the 2 pieces of rubber, as you call it, it should be partial overlapped to demonstrate the TEAR capabilities which is not present here. Your attempt to PEEL it apart looks like it would be difficult, but if you could properly hold both pieces and pull apart it would not stay. That would be the real test. So in closing from watching this I would assume your product has a short life span and cannot satisfy a real bond.
