Baking Soda & CA Glue

I was up extra early this morning not by design but by chance and I thought you know as long as I'm up may as well get the day going going to a little bit of groceries and get my baking soda and so I checked the website for superstore and it says they're open at 7:00 well it's about 10:00 to 7:00 by the time I got to superstore it was just after 7:00 and I'm seeing the store looks like it's closed and I'm thinking well what's wrong now and I pulled around to the front and here's a bunch of employees standing outside and they said a transformer just blew we've had a power failure so off to Safeway I go and that's where I got my baking soda let's get going here oh and I did get some other stuff too now I have no idea how this is gonna go I've never done this before so I want to do a little sample first just to see how the CA glue will will react by the way this spoon don't know if you remember about a few years ago I did a video called something like the homemade gouge or something like that the idea was gonna use a ordinary tablespoon to make a gouge well interestingly that video has had more hits than any other video I've ever posted yeah let's see what happens here now I turn on the room air cleaner here to circulate they're just a little bit but in one drop yeah I was afraid it might blow him up all over the place but obviously it's not I can smell it there may be somebody wondering what's this all about anyway well a couple of days ago I made a mistake and I cut in the wrong place so I had to fill up the gap and I used wood and it was suggested to me at that time that why don't you use baking soda and CA glue and so that's what this is all about and this repair is just about exactly the same size as what I had done a couple of days ago only of course with wood now I got to keep the baking powder and the crack this is the one we want to repair right well this is just plain old scotch tape I don't know what you call it where you live but I call it scotch tape even though it might not be from the Scotch company yeah I'll just flip that over and I'll do the other side now yeah I think that's fairly well sealed I know that the liquid CA glue is going to follow the grain of the wood and so code a little bit but hopefully I'm not going to put in too much and I end up with it running down the side here anyway that's the next step well I guess the next step is to pack it full of baking powder no I don't know if tamping it down is a good idea or not I would think it's a good idea well let's try that now I don't know if we're gonna be able to see it or not but I think the idea would be to put it on quickly and then when you see it has reached the very bottom well that should be enough I forgot to put on my Rome air cleaner [Music] well as you can see I've laid the dome on its side here about five minutes or so is past I think we can probably take the tape off here okay what have we got soft or hard oh that's not good okay I'm gonna sprinkle a little bit more on right there where I made that dent and then I'll drop the CA in from this side then I'll turn it over and I'll do the same thing on the other side I know I can always sound this down later but thanks we'll try and get it as good as we can okay here we go now I have a feeling that this CA glue sets so quickly that it doesn't get a chance to get all the way down into the center of the repair my other wanna be gluing this to my table-saw either another mistake should have put down the waxed paper oh one more drop what do you think doesn't seem to be soaking it any more it's it's not curing either I don't see the PM's coming off well leave that for a few minutes to see it we got we'll see what happens when we cut through it and actually that'll because that's the whole idea it's supposed to you know like what we did the other day with a wooden repair and yes I did get a little on the table saw yeah we'll say that's very hard well this doesn't have to be a perfect sanding job let's just cut through it and just cut through or come on this side over here so the spacing is even the way the wheel was when we're trying to fix the wheel remember here here here and here so the spacing can be the same anyway doesn't really matter I guess well I can see where this would work okay but not the way I did it what I should have done was to build it up about a Oh eighth of an inch of the time it's sure is strong though I'll say that for it you can see that the inside there it's Hollow yeah well next time now as for this box of baking soda I'm gonna keep some of it in a little sealed container down here in the workshop and the rest can go on the fridge isn't that what most people do with theirs [Music]
