Bought it, haven't opened it up, and think I won't need any for my project anyway (will do for the cart systems I expect). Many people here have used putty; not me yet!

It's epoxy.

Any Epoxy you find at the Hardware store is the same thing.

No it's epoxy that you mix together and then use it to hold stuff together. Like the screen to the case.

Might be worth reading my thread slower (and my one in Case Construction)!

I vacuum formed a plastic case shell with Plasticard Styrene (called Styrene in the US), 2mm thick. The d=pad and 4 button pad pieces from the controllers are sanded right down, holes precisely cut into the plastic casing. No filler used up to this point as this alternative method didn't need any.

I heard it doesn't stick to plastic very well. Is that true? (Would it also be good for bondo-ing?)

It sticks VERY well to plastic. I used it on my broken headphones.

BE WARNED. It SMELLS like burnt semen when mixing.

How do you know what burnt semen smells like.

I watched a review on it, and the reviewer said it smelled like burnt semen. So then, I bought some used it and said "Hey, I guess it does smell like it".

It works wonders though.

Yes it sticks to plastic just fine.

Not as good as Abs Cement or PlasticWeld, but it is acceptable.
