About RapidFix
When a crack, gap, or broken component stands between you and getting back on the road, RapidFix delivers one of the most versatile and fast-acting adhesive systems available. Based in St. Louis, Missouri, RapidFix is a purpose-driven brand with a unique story: 100% of its products are assembled by employees who are legally blind, and proceeds directly fund community outreach programs supporting visually impaired children and young adults. Choosing RapidFix means backing a brand that goes far beyond the repair bench.
The RapidFix Dual Adhesive System
At the heart of the RapidFix lineup is the Dual Adhesive System — a scientifically developed two-component repair solution consisting of a powerful instant-bonding adhesive and a complementary welding powder. The adhesive can be used on its own to bond virtually any non-porous material, or it can be combined with the welding powder to fill cracks, holes, and gaps, creating a structural weld-like seam in seconds. Once cured, the repair can be drilled, filed, sanded, or ground to any desired shape — and because it dries crystal clear, it accepts paint or wood stain for a seamless finish.
One standout feature that sets RapidFix apart from conventional super glues and epoxies is its special anti-dry formula: the adhesive is guaranteed not to dry out in the bottle for 12 months. Competing epoxy-based products can require cure times ranging from 5 minutes to 24 hours, while body filler or putty may take 30 minutes or longer to set — RapidFix bonds are ready in seconds.
Automotive Applications
RapidFix is a go-to solution for emergency automotive repairs. It bonds to rubber, metal, plastics, copper, aluminum, steel, and glass — making it effective across a wide range of vehicle components. Practical uses include repairing leaks in radiators, gas tanks, and headlight housings, as well as fixing windshield wiper fluid bottles, overflow tanks, air intake systems, and water pumps. The repair strength is comparable to a welded joint, making it suitable for structural fixes that need to last under heat and pressure.
Beyond the Garage
RapidFix is equally at home outside the garage. The brand's adhesive line extends to marine, household, and outdoor applications — ideal for anyone who needs a reliable fix on a boat, at a campsite, or around the home. The UV Liquid Plastic Adhesive variant offers another dimension of control: it only cures when exposed to UV light, giving users time to position the repair perfectly before activating the bond with a quick 10–20 second light exposure, hardening crystal clear.
Whether you're a weekend DIYer tackling a quick fix or a professional who needs a dependable adhesive in the tool kit, RapidFix combines speed, strength, and versatility in a compact, easy-to-use package.
