Step by step plan on how to Fix a Ring

Let’s fix a ring with Bostik Super Glue Ultra+

Rings draw attention to your hands and are great jewellery to accessorize an outfit. They’re a popular fashion accessory with children of all ages. Rings with a decorative face can make quite a bold style statement.  

But, these rings are prone to damage. It’s not a reason to buy a new ring though – it can easily be fixed at home. Here’s a quick guide.  

Accessorizing with rings

Children’s rings are available in a variety of styles and materials. You can wear them independently or stack them together. Keeping your rings clean and dry keeps them wearable for longer. But, despite best efforts, accidents can happen. You may be tempted to discard a ring when it breaks but there is a better alternative. With a little bit of the right glue, you can fix your ring and put it back on your finger.  

Finding an adhesive that works

There are many types of adhesives available today. Choosing the right one is important. You need a glue that is easy to use, quick-drying and strong. Bostik Super Glue Ultra+ meets all of these criteria. What’s more, it is transparent and won’t stick to your fingers. Once joined, the bond remains strong while being flexible so it doesn’t break when you put the ring back on.

The easy way to fix a ring  

It doesn’t take more than a few minutes to fix a craft ring. All you need is 5 minutes and Bostik Super Glue Ultra+. Here are step-by-step instructions to get this project started.   

Instructions

Step 1: Clean the broken ring

Use an appropriate method to clean the surface of the ring.  

Maintenance tip

Regular cleaning helps maintain the ring’s luster and minimizes the risk of damage.  

Step 2: Apply glue to the ring

Unscrew the Bostik Super Glue Ultra+ tube and put a few drops of glue on the broken edges. Screw the cap back on after use.  

Application tips

Apply Bostik Super Glue Ultra+ directly on the ring’s surface and control the spread with the tube’s nozzle. Do not try to spread the glue with a brush, toothpick or anything else.  

Step 3: Position and press

Put the broken piece in its correct position and press it against the ring for about 15 seconds.
