It's a similar principle to a product I use sometimes called Q-Bond which comes with different colour filler powders. Can fill small gaps pretty well.
Superglue and baking soda. I'd never heard about that trick, until this morning.
I found the first mentioning of it on another forum (classic car related) and had to look it up on YT. Man, the endless possibilities of it. I suppose that - with enough practice - we can repair the old (bone-coloured) knobs on dashboards! Chemistry-wise, I'm not clever enough to explain why and what happens. Perhaps someone can?
Here's an example of what you can do with it; YT has tons of other videos about it.

That's a much used technique for repairing the slots on a guitar nut. However here's how it's done correctly on a bone nut. I missed out part 2 as it deals with levelling the frets . . .
F.T.F.A.
Chemistry-wise think the baking soda is just a filler and any similar powder should work.Originally Posted by thieuster
There is an excellent fit car channel called 'Sweet Project Cars" they have a video under "how to repair difficult plastic", check it out.
Cloning Vintage Knobs. Plus it's Wesley Treat, who is great.
Phantastique.
Enjoyed that and just subscribed to his channel!!
Very clever! Wish I had the patience, the know how, the equipment, etc., etc.!
First I saw of this was a couple years ago on YT, a guy restoring vintage Matchbox toys cars.
We're never too old to learn something new
I have used Q Bond for repairs. It even worked on a full bore rifle magazine, for a while. You get a couple of bottles of super-glue and little containers of metal filings in different colours.
