Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Mighty Putty 3-Pack
Customer Review: Basic Epoxy Putty
Summary: 4 Stars
Yes, Mighty Putty may have been over-hyped .... BUT it still is basic epoxy putty that has been around forever. I have used it successfully on damaged areas of a vinyl floor. Like when a chair is used in one certain spot and created a "pot hole" ..... I used the putty let it dry (added a tiny bit of water so it didn't stick to my hands), waited until it dried, sanded and painted brown (to match the vinyl floor) and it is much better.
I would never attempt to Mighty Putty a 50 lb weight directly above my bed or something crazy! But it works as well as all the other epoxy putties you see in the automotive or plumbing sections of your local Super Slave-Mart store.
I also successfully made a one horned ceramic Giraffe .... two horned again. His name is Kuanda and he is Might Happy to be fully behorned again.
Customer Review: Does work
Summary: 4 Stars
So far, it's worked on everything I've used it for. However, if you attach it to something that's painted (like a wall) it likely will come off and take the paint with it because it bonds to the paint, which isn't bonded well to the wall. That was disappointing, but not unexpected. The other downside is the smell, which is pretty strong. That goes away once it dries, though. Overall it works, but if you're looking to stick something to your painted surfaces, this isn't going to be it.Customer Review: Pretty good bondage
Summary: 4 Stars
I got a tube of this stuff from my mom to fix my 2 foot long towel rack at my apartment. It cracked in half when i accidentally leaned on it in the middle of the night while going to the bathroom. I tried other epoxy products which didn't work, but this mended the rack and has been supporting 3 towels for the past several months. I recently leaned on the rack again and it started to crack, so i'm going to buy more.Customer Review: The Mighty Hath Fallen
Summary: 3 Stars
I've never had a reason not to trust Billy Mays - the friendly, shouting, bearded man in the blue shirt. After all, he didn't steer me wrong with OxiClean or Orange Glo, so why would Mighty Putty be any different?
My wife's constant violent outbursts often left our home in shambles. Between the broken lamps and cracked coffee mugs, I'm amazed our trailer is still standing.
When I first saw the commercial for Mighty Putty on the TV I was skeptical of its claims that it bonded to everything from glass to concrete. I mean, come on! But with our tub of Elmer's Glue proving to be ineffective, I was willing to try anything.
I placed my order with Amazon, and as promised the package of Mighty Putty arrived in less than a week.
One morning while my wife was passed out I decided to begin the repair work. I started out small - my American Idol coffee mug that my wife had broken the handle off of after I told her we were out of Coffee-Mate.
The Mighty Putty directions are simple: Cut, activate and repair!
When you take the Mighty Putty out of the tube it kind of looks like a long piece of Hubba Bubba (the kind with the watermelon center). I cut the putty fairly easily with a butter knife and began to kneed it in my hands. My sweaty hands made the product very slippery and hard to handle, but I managed.
Using my best ceramics skills I molded the putty into the shape of a coffee mug handle and attached it to the mug. I waited 24-hours for it to dry (just to be safe), then I tested out the mug the following morning.
I lifted the mug by the new Magic Putty handle and it broke right off, sending the mug down onto the table. Coffee spilled everywhere and my wife started breaking things again.
Over the next couple of weeks I successfully used Magic Putty to repair other items around the house, but my coffee mug remains handle-less.
Because of this I can only give Magic Putty an average rating, but if you don't have sweaty hands you might have better luck than I did.
Customer Review: Hit & Miss
Summary: 3 Stars
When I bought this product, I used it for little tasks (hanging picture frames, etc.) and it failed on all accounts. I then used it to re-hang a kitchen cabinet door that had fallen down. Lo and behold, it worked like a charm. I did keep the repair in a vice overnight; but it's held strong for about 6 months now. Really a hit and miss item. Won't be buying it again.
