I was the Beta Tester for Acrilikey. Richard and I tested it on all kinds of plastic and found it to be very unsatisfactory. Perhaps we the formulae for some plastic would allow some mediocre repair. I've not found that to be the case. However, the plastics industry seems to change things on a regular basis. A case in point, is the type available for fronts. It's just not the same and is very hard to work with. If Acrilikey works on certain types, so much the better!<G></DIV> <DIV>Regards,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
