Title: Remaking some plastic parts
Post by: Retropin on June 05, 2013, 08:19:01 AM
Just got pointed in the direction of this stuff.. had a mate in Europe who has just used this to repair his car window and made a new handle with it! Swears it is really tough stuff once set... need to locate some in Aus to test it

Sounds good.  I wonder what size object you could make out of a bag?

There must be a bulk purchase somewhere. I will have a hunt out on www.
Either way this product is much cheaper and quicker than 3-D printing.

if boiling water etc will soften it, what might globes nearby do to it. may distort your finished product or sun from a window if your game is located near by.
