JB Weld PlasticWeld 25ml

This took longer than expected to cure and remained tacky. It was well mixed and at the correct mix ration as I dispensed the whole tube at once. Will wait and see if repair stays good.

I needed to repair a couple of plastic retainers for the drawer guides inside of an old dresser; the plastic retainers broke apart (probably from someone leaning on the drawers and/or too heavy a load inside of them) leaving the wooden guide flopping around and the drawer sagging when pulled out. Replacement retainers seem to be out of production, and other epoxies I've used in the past on plastic really didn't seem to hold well, so I was a bit skeptical that this one would hold well enough to repair the drawer guide retainers. But I followed the instructions for application -- the syringe made dispensing the proper ratios easy -- and the drawer guide retainers now seem strong as new! I then gave the stuff a try on a piece that had broken away from the plastic ... MoreI needed to repair a couple of plastic retainers for the drawer guides inside of an old dresser; the plastic retainers broke apart (probably from someone leaning on the drawers and/or too heavy a load inside of them) leaving the wooden guide flopping around and the drawer sagging when pulled out.

But I followed the instructions for application -- the syringe made dispensing the proper ratios easy -- and the drawer guide retainers now seem strong as new! I then gave the stuff a try on a piece that had broken away from the plastic shroud on the roll-up security screen in my '89 Firebird; like most glues I've tried on this particular plastic, this epoxy was reluctant to bond -- at first. But once it began to set it seemed to grab ahold and form a good bond. I guess time will tell if the bond holds up, but the shroud is mainly cosmetic so I'm optimistic about the long-term survivability prospects. A few things to be aware of: while the syringe is very handy, it is not a precise measuring device; meaning if you're trying to dispense just a tiny bit, you will likely get more than you wanted. A dime-sized blob is probably the minimum product it will dispense. Also, be sure to quickly clean up any spills, drips, etc. from areas you didn't want the epoxy applied; once this epoxy has cured it will be a pain to get off of places where you really didn't want it and where sanding isn't an option to remove the excess (ask me how I know...).

I like that this epoxy can be closed for future use. I used this to repair a cracked plastic front fender on a Yamaha Smax scooter. After sanding first application, I put a light second coat to fill in any imperfections. Very easy to work with. JB Weld did it again. They have epoxy for.just about anything.
