Este kit é capaz de reparar praticamente qualquer tipo de plástico, incluindo ABS, ASA, policarbonato (PC), PVC, PET, SMC e fibra de vidro. Além disso, sua eficácia se estende a outros materiais como madeira, metal e vidro, tornando-o uma ferramenta indispensável para profissionais e entusiastas de DIY.
Com o Polyvance PlastiFix Kit, você pode realizar uma variedade de reparos, como consertar rachaduras, preencher lacunas, reconstruir abas e reparar roscas desgastadas. A capacidade de realizar múltiplos tipos de reparos em um único kit é um dos seus principais diferenciais, permitindo que você economize tempo e dinheiro.
Um dos recursos mais inovadores deste kit é a barra de moldagem FlexMold reutilizável.

Good stuff, but PRICED WAY TOO HIGH. I had to make a decision whether to pay $40 for Plasftix or $40 for a new vacuum cleaner part.
I chose the Plastifix just to experiment. Many simple plastic repairs can be made dirt cheap using super glue and baking soda.
The molding bar is a little difficult to use and seems to shrink a little when it cools. I think it also stretches out of shape a little when it is removed from the part being copied.

Had a few damaged areas on plastic motorcycle fairings that I wanted to repair. Decided to give this product a chance before replacing the damaged pieces. So far so good. Will do a follow up after painting and have put a few miles on the bike.

Fast and easy to use very solid bond and the material feels like its stronger then the old scooter plastics I’m repairing . They will probably break again but it wont be the repairs and I have plenty of this stuff left to fix future oopsies . Picture on the right is an unbroken tab and the picture on the left is the repaired tab made from a mold of the good tab using the supplied molding material made easy with their youtube videos . All of the black part of the tab was broke off from me doing some light unexpected off roading . Fixed about a half dozen broken tabs on the old gal and it didnt take me too long maybe a few hours wish i woulda got more of the molding wax or whatever that is woulda sped up the process a bit . I still gotta sand and drill the others but this stuff sculpts easily with a rotary tool and just works great I’m so happy I don’t have to buy all new plastics for over $500 . I can’t wait to get it all back together to see how it holds up and if for some reason it doesn’t I will update this review but for now all is swell .
Thanks Polyvance the youtube videos were a big help and motivation for me to do it myself.

The media could not be loaded.
I got this product after watching several Utube videos on plastic repair.
I recently snapped a huge piece of my motorcycle’s fairing off while doing a coolant drain and refill. *It’s important to note that this fairing is ABS, not sure how well this works on other plastics, but for my application it was amazing!
I decided to use a dremmel with a carbide ceramic bit made for acrylic fingernails to “channel out” along the inside edge of both pieces. This way, once the pieces were taped together a “V” grove ran the length of the split. Once everything was ready, I taped the pieces together (on the painted side) with blue 3m painters tape. I followed the included instructions and placed a few “spot welds” at the top, bottom, and center of the two pieces. I then filled in the channel from the center spot weld down, then repeated this from the top spot weld to the center.
The results are nearly perfect, which says a lot for my first time using this!
The repair was extremely solid (see video) and I had the fairing back on the bike to “degas” in the sun about 30-mins after I started.
Time will tell how well this repair will hold up, but as of now, I couldnt be happier.
If I could give this product 10 Stars, I would! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

I’m in the process of restoring a 1969 Dodge Charger and it came time to do the grill. It was badly cracked in several places due to a previous front end collision. They do make a reproduction grill for this car, but the cost is $1500, so I decided to check the forums and see what other restorers recommended regarding a possible repair method. Many recommended this product. When it came in, I thought to myself I’d probably have to order 5 more kits to get this project done, but I was amazed how far so little product can go! I still have 1/2 of the one I ordered left! Every broken mount tab was recreated using this product! Adhesion was unbelievable. The visible cracks were sanded flat after repair and couldn’t even be seen before paint! The texture and color of this product was exactly the same as the ABS plastic used in the grill. The end result far exceeded my expectations! If you have rigid plastic that needs repair, this is the stuff you need! It’s world’s above using epoxy!

Unlike the other review for this product, I found the PlastiFix kit to be an excellent solution to cracked or damaged plastics. The instructions may be a little sparse but a quick web search yields dozens of “how-to” videos that will show you in great detail the various techniques required to use the product. There is no “mix ratio” or “painful” process to use this product – compared to other methods it isn’t even “time consuming”. Simply pour some of the plastic powder into the cup and some solvent into the needle applicator. When ready, allow a single drop of the solvent to fall onto the plastic powder and quickly pick it up with the tip of the needle and set it on your repair site. The chemical reaction allows the mixture to dissolve and fill the crack or gap you’re trying to repair – just be quick because if you take too long the drop on the head of the needle will soften and fall off – ruining whatever it comes into contact with. It’s quick, easy, mess free, and once you get a handle on the technique it goes very quickly. With some proper sanding work after curing the part will be just as strong and look just as good as the original.
However, as with anything, the amount of prep work you do will determine the outcome. Taking time to properly align and prep the parts goes a long way. Being careful to use a rotary tool to etch a “V” mark along the crack will allow more product to fill the gap and create a MUCH stronger bond. Large or complex spider cracks may need a few layers of fiberglass on the back side to support the repair. Simply taping the parts together and slathering this product on will cause you to fail miserably – you need to take your time.
My only gripe is that you get relatively little product. A full kit used conservatively will probably do a lightly damaged (maybe 24″ linear total of cracks)set of fairings. That number goes down drastically if you have to use the PlastiFix to rebuild missing parts or tabs. If you have a badly cracked bumper or fairing I would recommend getting the bulk solvent and powder from Urethane Supply.
All in all 5/5. The repairs are seamless. This is not like Bondo where it will shrink, crack, or be too soft to paint properly. The solvent will ensure that this binds permanently to the plastic that you are fixing. I’ve used it on several street bike fairings including a badly damaged set from a TT600 that came out flawlessly. No complaints from me.

Love this stuff, use it quite a lot in old car interior repairs. Stronger than the 30 + yr old original
