The Best Home Repair Hacks from Your Local Repairman

Supercharged Superglue

We can't explain the science behind it, but if you mix baking soda and super glue, it will turn into superglue's plastic-form brother. This handy little concoction can be used to plug holes and seal gaps as well as repair collectibles and other odds and ends. Just put a small dab of superglue on the surface, add a bit of baking soda and press it on with a cloth. After just a few seconds, it's good as new!

Small dents on wooden floors seem like a huge expense to repair, but with this handy hack, it's actually quite a simple fix.

Just wet the dent in the floor, place a moist towel over it, and then use an iron on top running it in circular motions over the area. Easy!
