Deere-est Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yes. Apply with brush, when finished the brush hardens but when you come to use it again the fluid frees it up again. Easy and clean to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leylandboy Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 thanks min but i was going to build a trailer to use everyday on my tractor would it hold it together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 God yeah! Unlike superglue which sticks two surfaces together, this welds them. Plastic Weld is just what it says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 just make sure you leave it to dry properly thats all, as even after say 5 mins it can still bend / move on the joint, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDH Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Suggest you try a test with scrap pieces of plastic before using it on the actual model. Too much in the wrong place can melt the plastic, too little can leave you with weak joint that's bound to break when the models finished..........I speak from experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpinefocus Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 i use plastic weld alot on all my trailers and would not change to anything else. Only advise i have is, if you stick something in the wrong place, remove it straight away from the model as once it sets you have no chance removing the 2 pieces.
