9 Reasons Why Anyone Sick of Messy Glues NEEDS This Game-Changing Repair Stick (And It's Completely Non-Toxic!)

Picture this: you reach for the superglue to fix something small, and within seconds your fingers are bonded together, there's a crusty mess spreading across your kitchen table, and the item you were trying to repair now looks worse than before. Sound familiar?

What if I told you there's finally a better way – one that doesn't involve toxic fumes, permanent mistakes, or wasted product?

Meet FixIts, the revolutionary repair stick that's making traditional glues look prehistoric. This isn't just another "fix-it" product – it's a complete game-changing solution that has gained attention since appearing on BBC One's Dragons' Den, where it secured investment from Steven Bartlett who called it an "Aha! product."

Unlike superglue that dries out in the tube, epoxy that goes hard before you're done, or tape that leaves sticky residue everywhere, FixIts work completely differently. You simply heat the stick in hot water for about a minute, mould it around whatever needs fixing, and within minutes it hardens into a solid repair.

And here's the best part – if you mess up or want to change something later, just reheat it and start again.

If you're tired of glue disasters, wasteful single-use fixes, and throwing perfectly good items in the bin over minor breaks, keep reading. These 9 reasons will show you exactly why FixIts are about to become your new favourite household essential.

Raise your hand if you've ever accidentally glued your fingers together. Or dripped superglue on your kitchen counter. Or watched helplessly as the glue cap permanently fused to the tube.

With FixIts, those disasters are history. There's no liquid to spill, no sticky residue to scrape off surfaces, and nothing to get on your hands. You simply drop the stick in hot water (even just a mug of boiled water from the kettle), wait a minute for it to soften, then mould it like putty.

FixIts vs Traditional Glue:

• ✓ FixIts: Clean hot water process, nothing sticks to your hands
• ✗ Superglue: Bonds skin instantly, requires acetone to remove
• ✓ FixIts: No residue left on surfaces
• ✗ Epoxy: Leaves permanent marks on tables and counters
• ✓ FixIts: Mouldable and controllable
• ✗ Glue: Once it's out, you're committed

You might have seen FixIts on BBC One's Dragons' Den, where entrepreneurs Chris Lefteri and Forrest Radford impressed the dragons enough to secure investment from Steven Bartlett. This wasn't just any pitch – Bartlett called FixIts an "Aha! product" and said it "could fly on social media" with the right marketing.

The validation didn't stop there. FixIts has been featured in design magazines like Designboom and Core77, highlighting it as an innovative materials solution. The product also gained massive attention on social media, proving that real people love what it can do.

But beyond the TV success, FixIts represents genuine British innovation. Designed and manufactured in the UK, it's a product you can feel proud to support – both for what it does and where it comes from.

Here's where FixIts become genuinely revolutionary. Remember how Sugru comes in those little packets that harden once you open them, forcing you to use it all or waste it? And how superglue tubes seem designed to clog after one use?

FixIts have no expiry date and can be reused indefinitely. Use half a stick today, toss the rest back in your drawer, and it'll be ready to use again in six months. Need to adjust a repair? Just reheat it. Made a mistake? Reheat and reshape. Want to remove it entirely? Heat it up and peel it off cleanly.

This reusability isn't just convenient – it's economical and environmental. A single FixIts stick can handle dozens of repairs over its lifetime, making it cost pennies per fix compared to constantly buying new tubes of glue.

Superglue works great on smooth, hard surfaces but fails miserably on anything porous or flexible. Epoxy is strong but won't stick to certain plastics. And don't even think about using most glues on fabric.

FixIts work differently. Instead of relying on chemical adhesion, they physically mould around and grip onto surfaces. This means they work on virtually everything: plastic toys, metal tools, ceramic dishes, rubber cables, wooden furniture, fabric items – you name it.

The versatility is genuinely impressive. 

If you've ever opened a tube of superglue and been hit by those sharp, chemical fumes, you know exactly why this matters. Traditional adhesives are full of harsh chemicals that can irritate your skin, eyes, and lungs. Some require ventilation warnings on the label.

FixIts are made from a biocompatible, compostable bioplastic that's completely non-toxic. Even when heated, they release no fumes or odours – just the steam from the hot water. This makes them perfect for households with children, pets, or anyone with chemical sensitivities.

The peace of mind this brings is incredible. You can use FixIts in your kitchen, around your kids, even indoors without worrying about ventilation. No more rushing to open windows or holding your breath while you work.

Remember waiting 24 hours for that epoxy repair to fully cure? Or having superglue set before you could position things properly? FixIts work on your timeline, not theirs.

The entire process takes about 5 minutes: 1 minute to soften in hot water, 2-3 minutes to mould and position, then it hardens as it cools. You'll have a solid, usable repair in the time it takes to make a cup of tea.

But here's the genius part – you control the working time. If you need longer to get the positioning right, just dunk it back in hot water to soften it again. No racing against curing times or watching your expensive repair material go hard before you're ready.

Speed Comparison:

• ✓ FixIts: 5 minutes total, controllable timing
• ✗ Epoxy putty: 1-2 hours initial set, 24 hours full cure
• ✓ FixIts: Unlimited repositioning time
• ✗ Superglue: 5-10 seconds before it's permanent
• ✓ FixIts: Ready to use immediately after cooling
• ✗ Construction adhesive: Several hours before handling

You might think that something reusable couldn't possibly be as strong as permanent glue. You'd be wrong.

Independent testing shows that FixIts can hold up to 16 kilograms of weight – that's about 8 times stronger than Sugru and more reliable than most household adhesives. The secret is in the thermoplastic material that forms strong molecular bonds as it cools, creating a repair that's often stronger than the original item.

But unlike superglue, which creates brittle bonds that can snap under stress, FixIts remain slightly flexible. This means they can handle the everyday knocks and movements that cause traditional glue repairs to fail.

Here's the bigger picture: every time you use FixIts instead of throwing something away, you're making a difference. You're keeping items out of landfill, avoiding the environmental cost of manufacturing replacements, and proving that repair can be better than replacement.

The numbers are staggering. UK households throw away items worth billions of pounds every year, often for minor damage that could be easily repaired. With FixIts, you become part of the solution.

"I worked out that my £9 pack of FixIts has saved me over £150 in replacements so far. I've fixed a car parcel shelf, a whiteboard, various toys, and I've still got sticks left. It feels good knowing I'm not adding to landfill too." – Susan, verified customer review

This isn't just about individual savings – it's about joining a community of fixers who believe that things are worth repairing. FixIts customers regularly share their creative solutions on social media using #MyFixIts, inspiring others to fix rather than discard.

Curious if FixIts really work as well as promised? The Dragons' Den success, customer reviews, and innovative design are great proof that they CAN work… but will they work for you?

There's one way to find out: Try them yourself! FixIts comes with a full 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not completely satisfied with the results, you'll get your money back – no questions asked.

Think about it: You could spend £9.99 and potentially save hundreds on items you would otherwise replace. If FixIts don't work as promised, you get your money back. If they do work, you've just discovered your new favourite repair solution.

The only risk is continuing to struggle with wasteful glues when there's finally a better way.
