Plas-T-Pair is still available. It's at our local electronics parts distributor and MCM Electronics. Maybe it was pulled in your State but not Virginia. Another wonderful product that few know about is a product called: Insta-Plastik Solid Bonder. Made by A.T. S. This stuff is great, it's two parts, one part is like super glue and the other is a powder. Clean up what you want to bond with alcohol and apply the glue, sprinkle on the powder and instantly you have a solid bond. Works well on most plastics and most anything else. Check it out, you'll love it. Go to www.atsincproducts.com and call for a kit. Also you can call direct at 800-343-3530. Tip : When the liquid Ethyl Hybrid runs out, you can use super glue, however, it may not work quite as well, but still acceptable. The powder that comes with the kit, is a organic based powder. I think it's like human or animal skin, and we all know how well super glue bonds to the skin.

It was a plastic repair kit. Excellent for cracked or broken cases, knobs, anything made of styrene(?) plastic. Holds as good as if it was never broken/cracked. But, due to "chemical hazards" it was pulled from the market years ago. Like the infamous "Blue Channel Master" contact cleaner. Seems anything that really works for us is pulled from the market.
