FixIts Review: How the Mouldable Repair Sticks Work, What They Fix and Where They Cost Less

Our verdict

Yes, if you want a handy, reusable way to fix small things like frayed cables, toy parts, loose handles and missing zip pulls. FixIts are mouldable bioplastic sticks that soften in hot water and set hard in minutes, from a UK company backed on Dragons' Den. But they are not a glue, they soften again in heat, and the strength claims compare unlike things. The offer page's $19.99 pack holds just three sticks. FixIts scores 5.0 out of 10, held back by price, overstated claims and heat limits.

The short version

• Reusable sticks of mouldable plastic: heat in just-boiled water, mould by hand, set hard as they cool.
• Each stick is 150 x 16 x 3.5 mm; the offer page's pack holds three.
• $19.99 plus shipping on 3 October 2026; $49.98 for three packs and $74.97 for five.
• FixIts' own store listed three sticks at £9.99 and eight at £19.99.
• Not a glue; softens above about 50 to 60°C.
• Best trait: quick, fume-free, reusable fixes for small everyday items.
• Biggest drawback: the price per stick on the offer page, and claims that go beyond what a wrap-around plastic can do.
• Our score: 5.0 out of 10.

Pros & cons

FixIts is a genuine product from a real company with a clever, sustainable idea. The cons are about value, heat, and marketing that implies it replaces glue for everything.

How it works

FixIts is a thermoplastic: a plastic that turns soft and mouldable when warm and hard when cool, again and again.

1. 01

   Heat a stick

   Step 1: Dunk a FixIts stick in just-boiled water from a kettle for about a minute until it turns soft and pliable. The brand's graphic says it softens above about 60°C (140°F).

2. 02

   Pinch off and mould

   Step 2: Take it out, pinch off as much as you need and press it around the broken part. You can keep it workable by dipping it again or warming it with a hairdryer.

3. 03

   Let it set, reheat if needed

   Step 3: As it cools it turns back into hard plastic within a few minutes. If the repair is in the wrong place, warm it again and reshape it, or remove it completely.

Mouldable thermoplastics with a low softening point have been sold to hobbyists for years as pellets, often based on a biodegradable polyester. FixIts packages the idea as easy-to-use sticks in colours, aimed at household repairs rather than model-making.

Who it's for

FixIts suits people who hate throwing things away for want of a small part: the toy missing a wheel, the charging cable fraying at the plug, the drawer handle that snapped, the bag with no zip pull. It suits makers who like adapting things, and parents who want a fume-free alternative to superglue around the house.

It is not a replacement for structural repairs, heat-resistant repairs or flexible repairs.

Why FixIts appeals

Superglue is messy, gives off fumes, sticks to fingers and dries out in the tube. Epoxy needs mixing and curing. Tape looks untidy and peels. FixIts promises a clean, reusable alternative: heat, shape, done, with the option to undo a mistake. The Dragons' Den story adds credibility and charm.

There is also a sustainability angle. Fixing instead of replacing saves money and waste, and a reusable material fits that ethos.

A typical first repair

Most people start with a frayed charging cable. You boil the kettle, pour water into a mug and drop in a stick. After a minute it goes soft and slightly see-through. You lift it out with a spoon, wait a few seconds, pinch off a piece and roll it between your fingers. Wrapping it around the cable takes a minute or two; it starts to firm up as you smooth it.

A few minutes later it is hard plastic. If it is lumpy or too thick, you drop it back in the water and try again. Owners say the second and third repairs go much more smoothly than the first.

Who gets the most value

People who fix small things often, and who enjoy a bit of making, get the most value. Owners on the page describe rescuing bone-conduction headphones, a remote control cable on a recliner, and other everyday items. If you only have one job in mind, a single small pack is enough.

How far a stick goes

A full stick is 150 mm long and 16 mm wide. A cable sleeve or zip pull might use a third of a stick or less; a toy wheel or hook might use half to a whole stick. A three-stick pack can cover several small repairs, and offcuts can be reheated and reused, so material is rarely wasted.

Cost per repair

At the offer page's $6.66 a stick, a small repair using a third of a stick costs a little over $2 in material. At FixIts' own store prices, it costs less. Both are cheap compared with replacing a cable or toy, which is the brand's main argument, and it is a fair one.

What it will not do

It will not glue smooth surfaces together on its own, survive heat, stay flexible, or replace professional repairs to anything safety-critical. It is also not electrical insulation: a FixIts sleeve can protect a frayed cable from further strain, but a cable with exposed wires should be replaced.

Ideas owners and the brand mention

• Strain relief on phone, laptop and headphone cables
• Replacement wheels and clips for toys
• Zip pulls, drawer pulls and knobs
• Hooks for keys, cables and tea towels
• Comfortable grips on pens, tools and utensil handles kept away from heat
• Bumpers and feet for furniture and gadgets
• Repairs to headphones, remotes and glasses frames
• Small craft projects and custom parts

• Households with small broken things: frayed cables, toy parts, loose handles, missing zip pulls
• Makers and tinkerers who like adapting and improving everyday items
• People who want a reusable, fume-free alternative to glue for non-structural fixes

Who should skip it

• Anyone needing a repair that gets hot: dishwashers, car interiors in summer, kettles, hot mugs
• Repairs that carry real loads or safety risks, such as shelves, ladders, car parts or electrical insulation
• People wanting an invisible or flexible repair; it sets as hard, visible plastic
• Budget buyers who can buy the same sticks cheaper from FixIts or generic mouldable plastic

How much do FixIts cost, and what's in a pack?

FixIts cost $19.99 plus shipping for one pack of three mouldable sticks on the offer page on 3 October 2026, with three packs for $49.98 and five for $74.97, about $6.66 a stick. FixIts' own UK store listed three sticks at £9.99 and eight at £19.99. Each stick is a 150 mm bioplastic strip that softens in just-boiled water and sets hard in minutes.

The offer page's product image shows a pack labelled "3 mouldable fixing sticks for repair, craft and more". FixIts' store sells the same three-stick pack in black, white and orange or other colour mixes.

Specifications

FixIts price and bundles

On 3 October 2026 the offer page our link opens showed:

The "Buy Now" button showed $49.98, the three-pack bundle, when we loaded the page.

FixIts' own store

FixIts' UK store, priced in pounds, listed:

The store ships internationally by Royal Mail. Even after converting pounds to dollars and adding shipping, it can work out cheaper per stick, especially for the 8 and 24-stick packs.

What this means for you: the offer page's $19.99 buys three sticks. Compare with FixIts' own store before buying, and count sticks, not packs.

Is it good value?

For the convenience of pre-formed sticks in colours from the original brand, FixIts' own store prices are reasonable. The offer page's per-stick price is high. Generic mouldable plastic pellets do the same job for less if you do not mind the plain white beads and less polished packaging.

Who makes it

FixIts is a UK company based in Bloomsbury, London, according to its store data. Its founders, Chris Lefteri and Forrest Radford, pitched on BBC's Dragons' Den in 2023 and received an offer from Steven Bartlett of £45,000 for 25% of the company, according to BusinessCloud's list of his Dragons' Den investments, which notes that the outcome after filming was unclear. The offer page describes it as a $60,000 investment.

The offer page our link opens is a US marketing partner's page for FixIts; the brand also sells directly.

How well do FixIts work?

FixIts work well for shaped, wrap-around repairs: a sleeve where a charging cable frays, a rebuilt toy part, a zip pull or a tool handle. It sets rigid and can be reheated and reshaped. It struggles where it must bond to smooth metal or glass, because the brand says it is not a glue and sticks only to fabrics and some plastics, and repairs can soften again in heat.

Nobody on our team has used FixIts. This section is based on the brand's own guidance, how mouldable thermoplastics behave, and owner reviews.

Where FixIts works well

• Cable strain relief: a sleeve around the weak point where a charging cable meets its plug, to stop further fraying.
• Toy parts: rebuilding a missing wheel, tab or clip, as in the brand's toy car example.
• Handles and pulls: zip pulls, drawer pulls and replacement handles on tools.
• Hooks and holders: small custom hooks, cable tidies and stands.
• Grips: moulding a comfortable grip onto a tool or pen.
• Feet and spacers: levelling a wobbly item with custom-shaped feet.

Where it struggles

• Smooth metal and glass: FixIts' own store says it is not a glue and sticks only to fabrics and some plastics. On smooth, non-porous surfaces it needs to wrap around or lock into shapes to hold.
• Heat: repairs near kettles, in dishwashers, on car dashboards or holding hot drinks can soften and deform.
• Flexible parts: it sets hard, so it cannot replace rubber, elastic or anything that needs to bend.
• Load-bearing repairs: shelves, chair legs and anything that would hurt someone if it failed need proper repair.
• Neat finishes: an owner on the page notes you have to work fast and neat touch-ups are tricky.

What owners say about using it

One owner who had used Sugru before fixed snapped bone-conduction headphones with a small amount of FixIts, accidentally covered the charging port, and used a hairdryer to soften and remould the repair. Another says it works exactly as described: softens in hot water and moulds to any shape. Another notes you have to work fast and that it sets back to hard, inflexible plastic, which is excellent if that is what you need.

How strong is it?

The page claims each stick holds up to 35 lb (16 kg), and shows a kettlebell lifted by a FixIts loop. Hard thermoplastic in a thick loop can be strong in tension. A wrap-around repair on a smooth object is only as strong as its grip, though, and a thin repair will be weaker than a thick one. Test any repair gently before relying on it.

How it compares with Sugru

Sugru is a mouldable silicone that cures over about a day into flexible rubber and bonds to many surfaces including metal and glass. FixIts sets in minutes into hard plastic and can be reheated and reused, but bonds to fewer surfaces. They suit different jobs: Sugru for flexible, waterproof, bonded repairs; FixIts for quick, rigid, reshapable ones.

How long it stays workable

Owners describe a short working window, from a few seconds for small, thin pieces to a couple of minutes for a larger lump. Thicker pieces hold heat longer. Re-dipping or a hairdryer extends the time, and many people find it easiest to do a repair in two or three stages rather than all at once.

Durability over time

Hard thermoplastic resists everyday knocks, and owners report repairs holding up. Repairs that bend repeatedly, such as a cable sleeve on a cable that is constantly coiled, may crack or loosen over months. Check repairs now and then and redo them if needed; the material can be reused.

Darker colours absorb more heat in sunlight, so a black repair left on a sunny windowsill is more likely to soften than a white one.

Are FixIts' claims true?

FixIts' core idea is accurate: it is a reusable, mouldable plastic that can make useful fixes. Its strength claims compare unlike things. "Stronger than superglue" and "8 times stronger than Sugru" set a solid plastic shape against bonding adhesives, with no test details. "Wraps around every material" overstates it, since it does not stick to smooth metal or glass, and the material is not fully disclosed.

"The non-toxic repair stick that works better than glue"

It works differently from glue. For wrap-around and shape-building repairs, it can be better than glue. For bonding flat surfaces, glue usually wins.

"Stronger than superglue" and "holds up to 35 lbs per stick"

These compare different things. Superglue's strength is in bonding two surfaces; FixIts' is in a solid plastic shape. The 35 lb figure is the brand's claim for a stick under load, not for every repair.

"8 times stronger than Sugru"

The page does not say how this was measured. Sugru and FixIts are different materials with different strengths: Sugru is flexible and bonds; FixIts is rigid and mostly grips. A single multiplier is not meaningful without the test details.

"Wraps around every material, from plastic to metal to fabric"

It can wrap around most materials. FixIts' own store is more cautious: it says FixIts sticks to fabrics and some plastics, and advises testing on a sample first.

"Completely non-toxic, safe around kids and pets"

The brand describes the material as biocompatible and non-toxic, and it gives off no fumes. It also advises adult supervision with children. The real risks are the just-boiled water and small pieces that could be swallowed.

"Made from compostable bioplastic"

The offer page says compostable; FixIts' store says biocompatible and safe for the environment. Some bioplastics compost only in industrial facilities. Reuse is the more meaningful environmental benefit.

What "biocompatible" and "compostable" mean

"Biocompatible" means a material is not harmful to living tissue, which is why some similar plastics are used in medical settings. "Compostable" means a material breaks down under composting conditions; many bioplastics need the heat of an industrial composter rather than a garden heap. The store's and offer page's wording differ, and neither gives disposal instructions. Keeping and reusing FixIts is the greenest option either way.

"Featured on BBC's Dragons' Den with $60,000 investment"

The founders did receive an offer from Steven Bartlett on Dragons' Den in 2023, of £45,000 for 25%. Whether the deal completed after filming was reported as unclear.

"Leaves no sticky residue when removed"

Plausible: warmed FixIts peels away from most surfaces. Warming it too much on delicate plastics could mark them.

Claims scorecard

Are FixIts better than Sugru, superglue or generic mouldable plastic?

Generic mouldable plastic pellets soften the same way and are usually cheaper per gram. Sugru is better for flexible, waterproof, bonded repairs on metal, glass or ceramics, but it is single-use once cured. Superglue and epoxy bond flat surfaces far better. FixIts' strengths are speed, rigidity and reuse: you can reheat a repair and try again, which suits quick fixes and crafts.

FixIts vs generic mouldable plastic

Hobby mouldable plastic pellets, often sold as polymorph or "friendly plastic", soften at a similar temperature in hot water and set into tough plastic. They are usually cheaper per gram, though they come as white beads you colour yourself. If you like the idea but not the price, they are worth a look.

FixIts vs Sugru

Sugru is the better choice for flexible, waterproof and bonded repairs on metal, glass or ceramics, but it is single-use once cured and has a shelf life. FixIts is quicker, reusable and rigid.

FixIts vs superglue and epoxy

For two pieces that fit together cleanly, glue or epoxy is stronger and neater. For rebuilding a missing part or wrapping a weak point, FixIts is easier.

FixIts vs replacing the item

Fixing a $15 cable or a much-loved toy can save money and waste. But some repairs are false economies: a frayed cable with exposed wires is a safety risk, and a cheap item repaired several times may be better replaced. Use FixIts where the repair is safe and the item is worth keeping.

FixIts vs hot glue

A hot glue gun also melts plastic to make repairs, and FixIts sells a cordless glue gun too. Hot glue bonds better to many surfaces but is softer and messier, and cannot easily be reshaped by hand. FixIts is better for building shapes; hot glue for sticking things together.

Other household products we have reviewed

Our household gadgets section and home and garden hub cover more products sold through offer pages, including Campanelli stain remover, the evaCHILL personal cooler and the Bed Scrunchie. For small repairs that need a screwdriver or a tape measure, see our Kelvin 17 multi-tool review.

If you want the convenience of the original sticks, compare FixIts' own store with the FixIts offer page (opens FixIts in a new tab), counting sticks rather than packs.

Are FixIts legit, and what should you check before buying?

FixIts comes from a real UK company backed on BBC's Dragons' Den, with a 30-day money-back guarantee and a one-year warranty, though it has only two Trustpilot reviews. Before buying, work out the price per stick, since the offer pack holds three, and compare with FixIts' own store. Avoid repairs that get hotter than about 50°C, and supervise children around the just-boiled water.

Count the sticks

The offer page's pack holds three sticks.

What to do: work out the price per stick before choosing a bundle, and compare with FixIts' own store.

Heat limits

The brand says not to use or store FixIts where temperatures can reach 50°C.

What to do: avoid repairs on anything that gets hot, including dishwasher items, car interiors in summer, kettles, hair tools and mugs.

It is not a glue

FixIts' store says it is not a glue and sticks to fabrics and some plastics.

What to do: design repairs to wrap around or lock into the object, roughen smooth plastic surfaces lightly, and test on a sample first.

Safety with hot water and children

Softening requires just-boiled water.

What to do: handle the stick with care when it comes out of the water, let it cool slightly before shaping, keep children away from the kettle, and supervise any child using FixIts.

Electrical repairs

A FixIts sleeve can protect a cable from further bending at a weak point.

What to do: never use it to insulate exposed wires or repair mains cables. Replace damaged cables, especially if copper is visible.

Returns

The offer page shows a 30-day money-back guarantee; FixIts' own store accepts returns only for unused sticks.

What to do: read the offer page's returns terms before opening packs, and try one stick first.

Colours

The offer page's pack shows black, white and orange sticks. FixIts' store also sells other colour mixes, including a "summer colours" set and black-and-white packs.

What to do: if appearance matters, pick colours that match the items you plan to fix, since painting is less reliable than a matching colour.

International shipping

The offer page adds shipping to a single pack; FixIts' own store ships from the UK by Royal Mail, with delivery aims of 3 to 5 days in Europe and 6 to 7 days elsewhere.

What to do: compare total delivered prices, including any import charges, before deciding where to buy.

How to buy FixIts the smart way

1. Compare price per stick on FixIts' own store and the FixIts offer page (opens FixIts in a new tab).
2. Check which bundle is preselected; the page's button showed the three-pack bundle.
3. Start small: one pack is enough to learn whether it suits your repairs.
4. Check shipping and the total before paying.
5. Keep your order confirmation and read the returns terms.
6. Practise on something unimportant first.
7. Keep spare sticks in a drawer; they do not expire.

If you are buying FixIts as a gift, a mixed-colour pack and a note with a couple of repair ideas, such as a cable sleeve and a zip pull, makes it more likely to be used rather than left in a drawer.

What do owners say, and how did we score FixIts?

FixIts scores 5.0 out of 10: claim accuracy 0.8, build durability 1.3, price competitiveness 0.6, usability 1.3 and owner satisfaction 1.0, each out of 2. The offer page shows a 4.9-star rating from 906 reviews, with testimonials about fixing headphones and remote cables that also mention working fast. Trustpilot had just two reviews, one praising it and one describing poor adhesion.

Reviews on the page

The offer page shows a 4.9-star rating from 906 reviews and four testimonials. Owners describe fixing headphones, a recliner remote cable and other items, and say it works exactly as described. One mentions working fast and the rigid finish; another used a hairdryer to remould a repair.

Trustpilot

On 3 October 2026 the Trustpilot profile for fixits.com had only two reviews, one five-star praising the product and the founder's service and one one-star describing poor adhesion and very short working time. Two reviews tell us little.

Reading the on-page reviews

The four testimonials on the page are specific and include drawbacks, such as needing to work fast and the rigid finish, which makes them more believable. They are still selected by the seller, and the 4.9-star figure cannot be checked independently.

What the reviews agree on

Owners who use FixIts for shaping and wrapping are pleased; those expecting it to work like glue on smooth surfaces are disappointed. Working time is short, and practice helps.

What the critical review says

The one negative Trustpilot review describes poor adhesion on most surfaces, only a few seconds of working time, and difficulty getting clean results. Those points line up with the brand's own guidance that FixIts is not a glue, and with owners who say you have to work fast. The fix is to treat it as a shaping material, re-dip often, and design repairs that grip rather than stick.

What we would test with FixIts in hand

If we test it ourselves, we will try repairs on cables, toys, handles and smooth surfaces, measure working time, test holding strength in loops and wraps, check how repairs survive a hot car, and compare it with generic mouldable plastic and Sugru. We will update this review with the results.

How we scored FixIts

Every score on the site follows the five criteria on our how we test page.

The score would rise with clearer pack contents, claims that match the brand's own guidance, and a price per stick in line with its store.

What we did, and did not, do

We read the offer page, FixIts' store data, BusinessCloud's Dragons' Den coverage, the Trustpilot profile and listings for similar materials, all on 3 October 2026. Nobody on our team has used FixIts, and no figures here come from our own testing.

How to use FixIts for the best results

Clean and dry the item, then pour just-boiled water into a heatproof mug and dunk a stick for about a minute until it turns soft and slightly translucent. Lift it out with a spoon or tongs and test the temperature before handling. Pinch off what you need, wrap it all the way around where you can, and push it into holes or grooves so it locks in place.

1. Clean and dry the item you are repairing.
2. Boil a kettle and pour the water into a heatproof mug or bowl.
3. Dunk a stick for about a minute until it is soft and slightly translucent.
4. Lift it out with a spoon or tongs, and test the temperature before handling.
5. Pinch off what you need and press it firmly around the repair.
6. Shape it quickly; re-dip or use a hairdryer to keep it workable.
7. Let it cool fully before using the item.

Making repairs hold

Wrap all the way around where you can, so the plastic grips itself. Push it into holes, grooves or textured areas for a mechanical lock. Make repairs a little thicker than you think you need for strength.

For joins between two pieces, embed something for the plastic to grip: drill a small hole in each piece if you can, or wrap the join with a strip of fabric or tape first, then cover it with FixIts. The fabric gives the plastic something to hold, since the brand says it sticks to fabrics. Let each layer cool slightly before adding the next, so the repair does not slump.

Getting a neat finish

Wet fingers stop it sticking to your skin. Smooth the surface with a damp finger while it is still warm. For colour, choose a stick that matches, or mix colours by kneading them together while warm.

Reusing material

Remove an old repair by softening it with hot water or a hairdryer, peel it off, and drop it back into hot water to reuse. Keep offcuts in a jar.

Working with a hairdryer

A hairdryer on a warm setting softens the surface of a repair without dunking the whole item, which is useful for fine-tuning a shape on electronics you cannot put in water. Keep it moving, and do not overheat nearby plastic parts.

Cables

Wrap a short sleeve around the weak point at the plug end, smoothing it into a gentle taper so the cable bends gradually rather than at a sharp point. Do not cover ports or vents.

Storing sticks

Keep them in a cool drawer, away from radiators, sunny windowsills and hot cars, so they do not deform.

Step by step: reinforcing a fraying charging cable

1. Unplug the cable and check the damage. If you can see bare copper wire, replace the cable instead.
2. Soften about a third of a stick in hot water.
3. Roll it into a thin sausage and wrap it around the cable where it meets the plug, overlapping the plug body slightly.
4. Smooth it into a taper, thicker at the plug and thinner along the cable, so the cable bends in a gentle curve.
5. Keep it clear of the connector tip and any ports or vents.
6. Let it cool for a few minutes before plugging it back in.

Step by step: making a replacement zip pull

1. Soften a small piece of stick, about the size of a grape.
2. Push one end through the hole in the zip slider and pinch it into a loop.
3. Shape the rest into a tab you can grip, flattening it between your fingers.
4. Hold it for a minute while it starts to firm up, then let it cool fully.

Step by step: rebuilding a toy part

1. Use the matching part on the other side, such as the opposite wheel, as a template.
2. Soften enough material and press it into shape, using the template for size.
3. Attach it to the toy by wrapping around an axle or locking into a hole, rather than relying on surface stick.
4. Trim or reheat edges to fine-tune the fit.
5. Check for small pieces that could break off before giving it back to a young child.

Troubleshooting

What else do people ask about mouldable repair plastics?

Most questions are about what mouldable plastic is and where it works. It is a thermoplastic with a low softening point, so it turns soft in hot water, sets into tough plastic as it cools and can be reshaped many times. FixIts does not publish its exact polymer, so we cannot confirm it matches hobby pellets. Outdoors, dark repairs in strong sunlight can get hot enough to soften.

What is mouldable plastic?

It is a thermoplastic with a low softening point, so it turns soft and putty-like in hot water and sets into tough plastic as it cools. It can be reheated and reshaped many times.

Is FixIts the same as polymorph?

Both are mouldable thermoplastics that soften in hot water. FixIts does not publish its exact material, so we cannot confirm whether it is the same polymer used in hobby pellets.

Can I use FixIts outdoors?

For items kept out of direct summer sun and away from heat, yes. Dark repairs in strong sunlight can get hot enough to soften.

Is FixIts waterproof?

Hard thermoplastic resists water, so a repair should survive rain and washing up by hand. Hot water will soften it, so keep it out of the dishwasher.

Can I paint FixIts?

Many mouldable plastics take acrylic paint after a light sanding, though the paint may flake if the repair flexes. Choosing a coloured stick is usually easier than painting.

Can kids use FixIts for crafts?

Older children can, with an adult handling the hot water. It can be a good way to show children that broken things can be fixed. Keep small pieces away from young children who might put them in their mouths.

Is FixIts worth it?

For anyone who regularly fixes small things, yes, especially bought from FixIts' own store at a lower price per stick. At the offer page's $19.99 for three sticks plus shipping, it is a pricey way to try the idea; one small pack is enough to find out whether you like it.

What happens if FixIts gets too hot?

It softens and can sag or lose its shape. Once it cools it hardens again, often in the new, unwanted shape. Reheat it in hot water and reshape it.

Can I sand or drill FixIts?

Mouldable thermoplastics can generally be sanded, cut and drilled once hard. Go gently to avoid heating the plastic with friction.

Will FixIts stick to my skin?

Warm plastic can stick slightly to dry skin. Wetting your fingers helps. Let it cool a little before handling to avoid burns.

How long does a FixIts repair last?

A well-made repair kept away from heat can last a long time. Repairs that flex repeatedly, take heavy loads or get hot will fail sooner.

Can I use FixIts for food or drink items?

The brand says the material is non-toxic, but most repairs to cups and plates involve heat or dishwashers, which FixIts cannot withstand. Use food-safe products for food contact.

Can FixIts fix glasses frames?

The brand's images show a pair of glasses among its examples, and a wrap around a loose hinge or arm can be a stopgap. Glasses rest near your eyes and get warm on your face, so treat it as a temporary fix until an optician can repair them properly.

Does FixIts work in cold weather?

Cold makes the hardened plastic stiffer, and it can become more brittle in freezing conditions. In a cold room, the softened stick also sets faster, so work in a warm room or keep the hot water close by.

How do I clean a FixIts repair?

Wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid hot water and solvents, which can soften or mark it.
