Flip Clock Restoration Tips and Tricks - Fixing Flip Tiles
This is an amazing breakthrough in flip clock restoration and has the potential to save restorers of flip clocks loads of money (no more buying clocks just to get a replacement tile). We at FlipClockFans.com have pioneered a new and exciting way to fix flip tiles with broken tabs.
What we're using is known method of using super glue (cyanoacrylate) with an accelerant (in this case, baking soda). Using the two substances together is a well documented way to create an extremely strong bond - super glue and baking soda.
The combination of the super glue and soda results in an almost instant bond with the tile and with repeated applications creates a very strong artificial tab. The tab is finished to match the other side with careful removal of extra material with sandpaper.
Taking your time, in a matter of about 18 minutes from start to finish, you can completely and essentially invisibly repair a flip tile with a missing tab.
It's hard to explain and you need to watch the video to see the process.
