Repairing Plastics with PlastiFix
Rigid Plastic Repair Kit
The PlastiFix Rigid Plastic Repair Kit is a revolutionary plastic repair system that allows you to repair cracks, fill gaps, rebuild tabs, and fix stripped threads. The most unique feature of the PlastiFix Rigid Plastic Repair Kit is the FlexMold flexible molding bar. The FlexMold bar allows you to replace a broken tab by forming a mold from an undamaged piece, then casting your new part using the PlastiFix acrylic adhesive system. This system does not work on olefinic plastics like PE, PP, TEO, or TPO.
