J-B Weld 8237 PlasticWeld Plastic Repair Epoxy Putty - 2 oz.

I absolutely love the J-B Weld 8237 PlasticWeld Plastic Repair Epoxy Putty! This product is a game-changer when it comes to fixing plastic items around the house. I recently used it to repair a broken plastic flower pot, and I was amazed at how strong and durable the bond turned out to be. The application was super easy - just mix, apply, and let it cure. The end result was fantastic, and now my flower pot looks as good as new.

Works good. The directions say it dries in 5 minutes (if I remember correctly). Sure, its not as smooth, but definitely not dry. It takes a long time to dry, like several hours to fully set. However, that was an advantage for what I was using it on; it allowed me to wipe the excess off the plastic outside of the crack I was filling in. No residue or anything left behind. Just a filled in crack!It doesn't dry as white, its more of a gray. And now a month later, it has a tad bit of a purple hue. Not sure if it did that on its own, or from being outside and exposed to all kinds of stuff. Plan on some paint if you want it to stay white. I should also mention, fresh from the tube it smells kind of like rotten eggs, though. Not strong, but you can definitely smell it.

Works OK, hard to find something that works on various plastics. Got spoiled with their metal epoxy, it never failed me. This is not quite the same range of use on plastics.

I have to admit, I was pretty wary about trying this, which I used to patch a hole in the wall of a Litter Robot globe. I was first introduced to "JB Weld" in the 90s, and back in those days what you ended up with was a bond that looked like metal, but would easily crumble just by applying pressure with your fingers. THIS STUFF, surprisingly, dried much harder and created a very tight, high quality bond with the plastic globe of the Litter Robot. I experienced none of the difficulties with this that I experienced back with JB Weld in the 90s. It was not runny until dry, it stayed in place, dried and bonded like a boss, and it looks pretty good, considering I haven't yet sanded it. All in all, this product delivered on its promise, my LR3 globe is once again fully functional, and makes me completely satisfied. There is a bit of a smell when the product is fresh from the packaging, but nothing that I could sense once dried. As for the people who have posted saying it doesn't dry, it doesn't work, etc... I have to wonder if they followed the instructions and actually worked the product to mix it as the instructions indicate, because for me, drying was NOT an issue. In fact, I would almost have to argue that it dried a little too quickly. Also, wear gloves when using this product. If it gets on your fingers and dries, it's difficult to clean off. The instructions say to wear gloves, but I'm impatient.

Use rubber gloves and mix well. This stuff works amazing. Fixed 2 exterior lamp sconce lights on a trailer that were badly damaged. Took 5 minutes to fix them. Great product.

I love JB Weld products in general and have used them numerous times on my vehicles and my equipment. But this is the first time I used their plastic weld and wasn't very impressed, the chair leg that I had patched snapped right off and our broken toilet paper holder broke off at the base where I used this to fix days prior. Just pulling toilet paper out. Very surprised this doesn't well, I oil sticks to Crazy Glue for this stuff and continue using JB Weld products to patch up all sorts of things in my car and tools wheelbarrows and everything else you can dream of fixing with their steel mix which is unbelievably amazing!

Had a very large, multi-day 3d print fail on me. I was able to print the missing portion but needed to bond the two areas together. because of the large area I needed something with decent working time that would hold over a surprisingly small actual contact area. This was exactly what I needed. so pros:1) allowed me to fill in the infill at the contact area to create more surface area for the bond.2) easy to work with after i got a method down (I recommend a test round on something if it's your first time using it before moving onto your project so you get a feel for it)3) shapeable both during application and after to help smooth out the shame of your failures4) surprisingly strong. I needed the bond to hold about a kilo of weight, and after some testing that appears to be more than easy for this.5) probably the longest working time out of the alternatives for what I was trying to do. (i.e. CA glue, plastic cement... etc)Cons:1) just a touch less working time then I would have hoped for. it said 25 minutes, but started to get hard to work with around 15 minutes. Again, WAY more than my other options, but it did lead to extra post processing work I would have liked to avoid.2) it's a touch harder once cured than the plastic around it, so when sanding it I was tending to take away more of the base material than than the epoxy, but i sort of expected this going into it.Until I find a better option for this specific use case, this will remain my top choice.

This crap left white all over my hands that I could not get off. It took me hours to get the stuff off my hands. I will not buy this again not unless I wear gloves. And who knows if it’ll eat through the gloves
