Just watched an interesting video, just google mixing baking soda with super glue. Of course it's just a video and very possibly BS, like a lot of other stuff. That being said he did make it look impressive, and explained the chemical reaction between the 2 made it a lot stronger than the glue alone. The demonstrations he showed made me think possibly a good fix for cracked side covers or broke mounting studs on them. Just looked interesting and wondered if anyone has seen or tried it?

I used this regularly when building RC airplanes back in the day. The baking soda is basically a filler, which allows fillets and such to be built up. It can also be used to fill gaps between pieces.Ed
To measure is to know.

With Gap Filling Crazy glue, and the accelerator fluid, why would you need to go that route? I made a stupid mistake and put a heavy duty screwdriver on my '73 M.G> Midget alternator pulley, and a chunk came out. Using Gap Filing Crazy Glue, I put it on the pulley and the piece, which fit perfectly back together. A couple of drops of accelerator fluid, and it was hard as a rock, I built it up till it looked solid enough. 10K miles on it so far, I don't think it will ever come apart.

Several demo's in the video, but don't remember anything about filling gaps. Most impressive was they glued 2 like pieces of plastic, to a plastic board, one with the baking soda and one without. When both were cured, they bent the one without baking soda over and the glued joint broke, then bent the other over and the piece of plastic broke and the glued joint was still in tact. I brought it up down at the store and a couple folks had heard of it, but none of them had tried it yet.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw.

Another useful mix is silicone sealer and baking soda.
Google 'Sugru' and you'll find a commercial variant of it.
