For the DIY crowd and engineers

Saw this product on YouTube. Given our scooters are plastic I can see the potential of this product called Plastimake. Here's the link to the video

Here's a link to the website http://www.plastimake.com

I am not connected to the company in anyway. Just figured some of you DIY and creative types might find it beneficial.

Haven't tried it but seems like amazing stuff!  Here in the States it is sold as "Polymorph plastic" and from Radio Shack as "U Mold Plastic".

I'll try some if it is reasonably priced.

Thanks for letting us know about it.

This stuff could be used for those cheap Chinese scooters that everyone loves. NOT!!

I was considering a house made from this, but decided beer cans had a better resale value. If the world market crashes... At least I'll have some light metal for trade.

Besides... I'm learning how to make plastic out of dog poo! It's free (as long as you feed them)

OH!!!!!!!Here, Look at this.... An EBay add. I won't link it to "protect the seller"
You can find it if you follow the bread crumbs.

1880UH11A.24
New Globe Scientific 16mm Flange Plug Caps, Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Catalog Number 116152C.  Each bid quantity is for a Lot of One Hundred (100) Plugs.  You may bid / buy any number of lots, up to the total quantity available above.

These were received in a load of salvage freight recently.  They were brand new and clean in the original factory bags, and we repackaged them in heavy ziplock bags to keep them that way.

Yes, these were actually designed for plugging test tubes and small bottles in the laboratory, and I'm sure they perform the job nicely.  However, they also happen to fit the bore of a 20 gauge shotgun (both are .615" diameter).  After you dump the shot and powder out of a few shells, simply reload them with plugs and fire them with just the primers.  Makes a great load for indoor target practice if you use newer ammunition.  Older ammunition often has lead and mercury in the primers, so be careful with that stuff indoors.  Or next time you see the neighbor's dog with his nose in your prize azaleas, aim one of these at his south end.  They're too lightweight to cause any serious injury, but he'll set a new land speed record as he leaves your yard.


According to the calipers

Overall length:  .888"

Outside diameter:  .615" / 16mm (20 gauge)

Inside diameter:  .514"


I reported this as an offensive post on Ebay.
Yes I need caps but I will buy them somewhere else.
I sent a message to the seller asking if it were his kid in my flowers, if the "  They're too lightweight to cause any serious injury, but he'll set a new land speed record as he leaves your yard."
 rule would apply. I f***ing HATE people!

Reality is... If I saw a person shoot blanks at my dogs, I would NOT shoot blanks in return. Just the way it is!

All kidding aside, why could you not use this to fix scratched plastics on a bike?  Or am I missing something?

Well, sanding it might be difficult, since heat can melt it.  Might need to shave it down.  It should work ok to replace missing pieces of broken panels.

I might make a camera and GPS holder, a helmet hook, and a fishing rod holder.
