Reparing plastic
I need to fill some holes in the interior plastic that holds the interior light. I am looking at using J-B Weld Kwik Plastik. Anyone used this and how good did it work? Or any other ways to fill in holes left from screws that worked well for you.
Thanks

I have never tried Quick plastic, but for repairing screw holes, a little fiberglass chopped up finely and resin works well and is strong. There was also a two part epoxy that worked well (came in a syringe type package) that is good for gluing broken plastic together. If it is like the JB it dries VERY hard but would not be my first choice for a cosmetic repair as it is not too easy to sand.

I haven't used the JB Kwik Plastik but they make good products so it will probably work if the area to be repaired isn't some kind of gaping hole. This is something I've had good luck with on small hole repairs............
