A hand-mixable epoxy putty tuned for plastic repairs - PVC, ABS, fiberglass, and most rigid composites that metal-focused putties bond poorly. It kneads into cracks and missing sections, cures off-white in a few hours, and can be sanded, drilled, and painted. NSF potable-water certified, though it will not grip polyethylene or polypropylene.

Pros

  • Kneads to fill and rebuild cracked or missing plastic that liquid glue cannot bridge
  • Bonds most rigid plastics, PVC, ABS, and fiberglass and cures off-white to blend
  • NSF-certified potable-water safe, and sands, drills, and paints after curing

Cons

  • Will not stick to polyethylene or polypropylene (many buckets, tanks, and tubs)
  • 700 PSI is far below steel-reinforced putties, so it is not for structural metal
  • 20-25 minute work life is short if you are shaping a complex repair
