plast-aid this stuff is awesome

I have used this stuff for years and I just want to turn you guys on to this stuff. Bonds well to plastic metal wood. Its a two part epoxy that you can mix thin or thick. it dries fast and can be sanded drilled or shaped. I have used this , with great results, to cast some small parts. I cant say how many times this stuff has saved my %$#. I think this is a must have in any shop.

This is interesting. I don't think it is epoxy, but rather the glue used in hip replacements.

definitely an epoxy, and does contain the "hip glue" to make it more impact resistant.

Thanks, I may have just the job for it. Any thoughts as to how it might compare with JB Weld?

Screw JB Weld, how does it compare to something like Marine-Tex?

What got me thinking about telling you guys about it was I just used it to fix my hot tub. It works much better than JB IMO. I have used it to "fix" a radiator neck, a trans pan, dash stuff. Ya know the dash screws that just screw into plastic and they get all bugged up? I just fill the hole let it dry and drill a new one. Easy.
of course and other way is to heat the screw with a soldering iron and let it melt the plastic around the screw. the soldering iron trick also helps get them out too.
Last week I used it to attach a handle to a file.
I have used marine tex and I think its better it cures faster. But thats just my opinion. the adhesion is amazing.

Thanks for the comparison. I have an old Craftsman Belt Sander. One of the belt alignment guides was sanded away by a user who wasn't paying attention to the alignment. Now it just chews up the belts. I need to fill the 'grooves' with something and the only product I had heard of was JB Weld. I will have to look into all three.
