Maplin "the home of cool stuff"
Discussion
Probably like a lots of others I've bought stuff from Maplin but came across this and thought it looked good. Forever breaking plastic so if it does what it shows I'd be pretty impressed!

Anybody ever used it before?
Is it any good?

hmmm, I'm suspicous. No reviews on line apart from the manufacturers. See how carefully they lift up things they've glued on the video, keeping the joint in tension, no bending?
Ph review http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...[quote=Who me ?]Maplin "home of the dear stuff ", these days. they've strayed from their roots as an electronic supplier. Once upon a time a Maplin catalogue was a worthwhile buy- a electronic designers bible.

Yeah, I noticed stuff seemed more expensive. Wanted to buy a portable powerpack for charging phones etc. Cheapest place was the gift section in Halfords next door when looking at £ to mAh.

Agreed, they do have some cool stuff, but seem a bit mixed-up as to who they and their customers are these days.

I bought: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Supa-Fix-APX4-Strength-Adh... after a suggestion on PH [the PH suggestion was for fixing chips in car bumpers]
It works extremely well. I've fixed several items using the black filler powder and the fixes have been solid.
I'd certainly buy again
I'm not sure that the glue is much different from superglue though.

I use something that looks remarkably similar called Q-Bond, I get it from ebay
Nothing I've used sticks dyson plastic back together as well, and the filler powder is brilliant.
Just don't hold your nose over the powder whilst you drip the glue onto it as the fumes burn your nostrils... Also, if the glue gets on clothes and then touches your skin it burns like fk...
Good stuff though!
