Quick drying and very adhesive
I rarely write reviews, but this stuff is brilliant! I needed to secure an indicator on my car (the main securing point had broken) and used this stuff to effectively link and glue together two plastic joins. It's set rock hard and won't be going anywhere soon! It took about 15 minutes to dry, and then cured within a couple of hours. Easy to use, good value and very adhesive - recommended!

Almost Good
I bought this to patch up a broken shower waste pipe and there is now a drip rather than deluge of suds.It mixes easily but is quite messy to use and there's a limited window before it will start sticking to itself on your fingers so keep a rag nearby to clean your hands.Once smoothed out it sets quickly and will harden overnight. I used some cableties to keep it in place.Not the perfect solution, but good enough until the pipe can be replaced.

My repair failed...
I wanted to repair a pinhole leak in a Spear & Jackson weedkiller sprayer - the kind that gets pumped up to pressure. Sadly the repair failed immediately. I had caked quite a lot of this stuff onto the leak area, I mixed it up thoroughly, I pounded it down, it set - rock hard... I left it even longer to fully cure... and then filled the container with water. All good. I then started to pump to pressurise it and within seconds liquid was jetting out again. The title of this review is deliberately "my repair failed"... because I accept it might be something I didn't do right. But the takeaway point is that it didn't work for me - the liquid seemed to find its way out underneath the hardened putty and then just exited in a slightly different location. I am now debating whether to give it a second go... but soon I'll have a container that is more putty than container!

This stuff really works!
So a really nice person kicked off the door mirror on my car (Nissan) causing it to hang by a few wires. The plastic mounting bracket had been snapped completely. According to Nissan, my only option was a complete new mirror at around £300. Or was it? With only a few centimetres of 'surface' I wanted to try sticking the mirror casing back onto the mount. But the mirror is heavy - it has a camera and electric motors behind the glass and I thought it would be too heavy to stay stuck with such limited surface area, particularly when the car would be bouncing on roads, driven at speed on motorways etc.So I found this product and tried it before spending big money. Nothing to lose, right?I used the putty on both edges, held it together for maybe 10 minutes and it bonded. So far so good. I then left the whole thing for 2 days (I know you don't have to leave it that long, but I didn't need the car) before screwing it all back together. I sanded and painted over the white/grey residue (black) and hoped for the best. I took it for a short test drive, fully expecting the mirror to fall over when I hit the first bump.That was 2 months ago. Absolutely perfect. Solid as a rock. Great product. And saved me £300.

Huge Fail (unfortunately)
I used it on a plastic model kit 5 days ago and it's not set and far from cured. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're looking for putty that doesn't dry. Also I had to destroy the plastic tube it came in to get it out because it was stuck to the inside.

Used for interior car door handle repair job
I bought this for my husband to repair the interior car door handle on the driver side. The part he needed was hard to find and to take the car to be repaired would cost hundreds, this was decided on as a temporary solution.Next day delivery, inexpensive and easy to use, we can’t complain. It says you need protective gloves and clothes (but how much less are you going to make?). He tried gloves but it was easier to use bare handed - be quick to wash the putty off afterwards.He just kneaded the putty and smoothed a very small amount over the cracked plastic and held the handle in place for a couple of minutes. It cured after about 20 minutes.A few days of use in and out the car and the handle seems to be holding up. We may not need to get the spare part after all.
