Yeah, it's amazing stuff. It's strong enough to repair flogged out wooden kick out holes. I've even used it to mold/sculpt SS boney flippers and saved a bomb. Gotta work fast though, it sets up PDQ.

I used both methods in my WH20 resto here: http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?topic=1404.45 (http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?topic=1404.45)
Kneed it is great but on areas where you need to keep the plastic translucent aryldite or a similar two part epoxy works well.

thanks for the advice ^^^
I'm thinking the Selleys Knead is the way to go, will have ago at this repair over the coming weekend.
