You can find out if Plast-aid® will stick to your broken plastic item with a simple test.
- Put one finger on the open top of the liquid bottle, tip it over and get a drop of Plast-aid® on your finger.
- Lightly rub the liquid on the area you want to repair. It's also a good idea to test on an inconspicuous spot consisting of the same type of material as the repair.
- Watch and see if the area becomes tacky to the touch. If so, Plast-aid® will work like a charm.
What if your item is made of wood, metal, stone, etc?
Plast-aid® works great on porous surfaces, so if your item is slightly rough, Plast-aid® will form what is called a "mechanical" bond to it. For example, notice our "quarter and pvc pipe tee" at the top of the page. Plast-aid® has "chemically" bonded to the pvc tee - meaning it has actually become a part of it! However, it is "mechanically" holding the quarter. It can do this because the quarter has enough roughness for it to grab a hold of. In fact, the hold is so strong that the quarter bends when you try and get it out! So the answer is "YES." Plast-aid® will create a stong hold to porous materials like wood, roughened metal, stone (not polished), and many other rough materials.
