Plastic repair, recycle & save the planet !
Written by mrpacrat on 4/7/2012 at 05:11 am

I'm a big fan of Plastex too, but I have started reinforcing Plastex tabs and
similar repairs with a piece of fiberglass cloth.

Really makes it rock solid.

season is in full swing. I am into recycling and boy did I ever find a good use
for that old computer case ! Some parts are thick enough, curved enough and
definitely strong enough too. If you need a curve or bend, a little magic from
the old heat gun does a fine job.

been using Plastex and, so far it seems to be a pretty strong fix after letting
it cure for a few days. Seems giving it a shot of heat from the gun for a few
seconds helps too.
