PRODUCT INFO

PLASTEX is a powder and a liquid. When mixed together, it actually becomes a plastic. PLASTEX is extremely easy to use and has no mixing ratio. Every PLASTEX kit includes a reusable moulding bar which makes it simple to reproduce broken or missing tabs and parts. PLASTEX dries in about 20 minutes, although should sit for 1 hour before being put to use or painted. PLASTEX does not have a shelf life when stored out of direct sunlight and high heat. Also, every PLASTEX kit includes the instructional video cd which demonstrates all methods of applying PLASTEX.

Below, you will find the different uses and applications for PLASTEX

FILLING LIQUID APPLICATOR & POWDER DISH / USING NEEDLE APPLICATION METHOD

LIQUID: Squeeze bulb on pipet, put tip into liquid and release bulb to draw liquid. Move pipet to uncapped applicator bottle and squeeze bulb to transfer the liquid.

POWDER: Remove tip of powder bottle, gently squeeze powder from bottle into dish.

APPLYING PLASTEX USING NEEDLE APPLICATION METHOD
Place the needle on to the top of the applicator bottle. Position above powder dish, gently squeeze liquid bottle, and place two or three drops into powder. Quickly pick up sphere with the tip of the needle and position over repair area. Gently squeeze liquid bottle to flow the material onto the repair area, repeat as needed to complete repair.

USING PLASTEX TO REPAIR CRACKS AND FILL GAPS
Remove any dirt and oil from repair area. File or grind a "V" groove along cracked area. Use packaging tape on front side of repair to keep PLASTEX from seeping through, then use PLASTEX needle method pictured above or use method pictured below. Gently squeeze powder bottle to transfer powder into cracked area, then gently squeeze liquid over powder (make sure powder gets completely saturated). Allow PLASTEX to cure, then sand or paint as desired.

USING PLASTEX TO REPAIR STRIPPED THREADS
Prepare repair area with file, reamer, or drill. Apply a thin coat of spray lubricant or light oil to the screw threads. Apply PLASTEX to threads of screw as needed, place coated screw into stripped out area and allow PLASTEX to cure. Then back screw out and the repair is done.

REPAIRS USING PLASTEX FIBER REINFORCEMENT CLOTH

First, repair crack how instucted above. Then, on back side, grind away paint 1/2 inch on each side of crack to ensure you are getting to clean bare plastic. Place fibercloth on a piece of packaging tape and cover with PLASTEX powder. Saturate powder and cloth completely with PLASTEX liquid, then place on repair area. Press firmly onto material to ensure a great bond, then allow to cure. Peel packaging tape off and file or sand if needed.
