Epoxy glue

Hi all.

Spotted this at my local auto paint store.

Not seen it before but it looks promising if it is as good as it says.

Anyone know of it, used it?

When it comes to the plastic tanks on models like the C's, those are made of polyethylene. I have yet to see any type of epoxy that will stick to them. Let us know if you try one if those.

Non-stick was one of the essential goals of the inventors! Only way to mend is with the right solvent and a compatible patch. (And breathing protection!)

Or plastic weld.

Only way I know to fix poly is to heat to melting and weld it.
