Repair product ‘5 Second Fix’ performs in reasonable amount of time

As a college student, time is a valuable thing. We have so many things on our minds: due dates, test dates, study sessions, time for sleep, time to socialize. There are so many things to keep track of. So when something we use day to day suddenly decides to break, the as-seen-on-TV product 5 Second Fix is the perfect solution.

It isn’t a glue, but a liquid plastic that only cures with UV light. It offers a permanent repair that is flexible, sandable and paintable. It dries clear and goes on anything from fabric, to metal, to wood.

When I found this product I was very excited to try it. There is always something that needs a quick fix. As I personally am very busy with school work and extracurricular activities, this would definitely be something that would help out.

So I got to work with 5 Second Fix. I started first with my claw tooth hair clip. As I use this pretty much every day when getting ready, when it broke, I was not very happy. So I got my 5 Second Fix out and tested it out.

I placed the liquid plastic onto the plastic of the hair clip. I struggled to keep it in place as it doesn’t bond to the item until the UV light is on it. I finally got the broken piece into place and shone the UV light and waited five seconds. To my surprise it did actually dry in five seconds. I then placed the clip in my hair to see if it would stick and it did. However, as soon as I wiggled the broken piece, it broke again.

Next I tried 5 Second Fix on a hair tie. Ladies, we can all agree that a broken hair tie due to thick hair has happened at least one or twice. So again I placed the liquid onto the hair tie and turned on the UV light. It again, only took five seconds, but this time it actually held.

I stretched out the hair tie and the formula held together, even when I put the hair tie in my hair.

So as I had used this product on fabric and plastic, I decided to try metal and wood to test the range that the product advertised. I first used it on a broken zipper from my duffel bag. That didn’t work at all, as it held together for all of five seconds. When I tried to use the zipper after applying the gel, it broke immediately. When used on a broken piece of my wooden ladder in my dorm room, however, the fix stayed.

Overall, I would say that this product is mediocre at best. It advertises that it can fix practically anything, when in reality it can’t. Although it did fix a few items, I don’t think it stays true to what it is supposed to be able to do. 5 Second Fix is definitely something I would recommend to anyone looking for a quick fix.
