Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Mighty Putty 3-Pack
Customer Review: Mighty Putty - smelly but worked for the items I have fixed.
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, don't order it, you can purchase at Target and Bed Bath & Beyond for 9.99. If you must order, go to e-bay and order from a reputable source.
Oh ya, the stuff stinks, but only until it is dry - open a window while using. They only give you one glove - so, I cut off a small amount and put it into a baggie, closed the bag and kneaded until well blended. This worked better than the glove approach, as I have severe arthritis.
I bought this originally to fix a leg on an antique vanity stool that my husband was supposed to weld back together 2 years ago. I was shocked, as the putty began working within minutes. You need to use more putty than you think to secure the pieces together - or whatever you are mending. Once it is dry, sand it to the desired shape/size and paint over to hide.
I used the putty to bond 3 separate places on the U shaped detatched leg --secured each place with painters tape while it dried. Once the putty was completely dry - about 1 hour - the stool withheld my weight -- 124 lbs., and the smell dissappeared as it dried. (So, don't be discouraged by the smell -- all weld bonds stink.)
I then repaired the wooden leg of our t.v. tray stand, a wrought iron clock that had fallen off the wall and come unsoldered. (Guess I should have hung it with a specialty wall hook advertised on t.v. too!)
Now I'm on the hunt for other broken items in the house before the opened tube goes dry!!
The stuff is amazing. I have not tried to hang anything on the wall yet, but am thinking of adhering soapstone tiles to the wall as little shelves in the shower. I have no doubt that it will work well there as well!
I am 100% impressed with the stuff. For me, it worked better than JB Weld!

Customer Review: I was skeptical, however tried it out for $10, instead of calling a plumber! Worked!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Our house was built in 1948, however was remodelled when we moved in. Naturally, a few plumbing problems were expected. Since we lived in our home, we have had a few plumbing issues that we hoped to fix (on our own), since plumbers charge way too much. Thanks to Youtube, we watched a few plumbers fix tub and sink issues, so we ran down to our local Ace Hardware and fixed leaky faucet, replaced valves ourselves. Last summer, under our kitchen sink, a massive hole ripped through our main water pipe, which was a pretty big pipe, 8 inches all around. The pipe had rusted, eaten through. My husband could not remove the pipe to replace it, because the base part, was behind the wall. Since we only have one kitchen sink and our dishwasher hooks up to the same water source, we had to fix this problem right away. I heard about plumber's putty, but then found this product, by chance and decided to go for it, since I didn't want to pay a plumber $1,000 to remove the pipe, and replace it. Anyway, Target (the store) carries this stuff. The hole was so big, I didn't think plumber's putty would work. These come in thick bars. My husband got the pipe super dry with a blow dryer, then he molded each bar to fit. Each bar was also blowdried. You must follow directions, to exact, to get this stuff to work. Anyway, longer story short..... It's been almost a year and this stuff has held up. No leakage at all. Much better to pay $10 on this, then $1,000 on a plumber. I think all the bad reviews are from people wanting to hang stuff with this mighty putty. I am giving it a 5 star, for filling pipe only (plumber purpose only).Customer Review: Mighty Putty is a MENDER, not a miracle
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used two boxes of MIGHTY PUTTY myself and given boxes to two friends. I LOVE it. It is advertised as a MENDER to "FIX, FILL, AND SEAL ALMOST ANYTHING" and lives up to its promise. I have used it on various small mending projects and find it to work as advertised. It is not advertised as a product for application of heavy objects.
I bought a large spoon to stir my cooking pots in 1966. Last year I dropped it and the hard plastic on the handle broke. I used my Mighty Putty and shaped a new handle. The spoon regularly goes through a dishwasher cycle and comes out just as I applied the putty.
I read a review of a man who used Mighty Putty to hang a towel bar. Didn't hold. Another used Mighty Putty to hang a CEILING FAN!!! Come on! How stupid are these people?
Customer Review: Best thing to happen for surfboards
Summary: 5 Stars
One thing I hated about surfing is getting cracks in your surfboard and then having to end the session to prevent water from coming in. I bought a similar putty but it was surf related and worked well, but it was overpriced. The mighty putty was actually the same exact thing but cheaper by like 50%. Easy to use. The smell when its mixed is rancid. It hardens quick and saves me a lot of surfing time. Its a temporary fix, but can last for months.Customer Review: works great
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this at bed bath and beyond.So far I have repaired the wall mount on the back of my cordless phone charger,the part that hangs on the wall broke off. Now I can hang my phone back on the wall. I repaired the keyboard drawer on the computer desk, the piece that attaches the guide to the desk broke. I just fixed a drawer guide on a kitchen drawer, now my drawer slides perfectly. Yes it smells funky, but it works wonders.
