    Were told at the store that Gflex will repair plastic, but that is beyond anything I would have suspected.

        Looks good... but I did catch a faint whiff of BS. They showed only a few seconds of the actual application process along with a second or two of applying a propane torch. The fact they showed so little of the application process makes me wonder what they might not be showing that would scare us away. I mean... epoxying anything has a fairly modest learning curve... how hard can it be. But in this case doing it the right way verses the Average-Joe way may spell the difference between the joint holding for an hour verses holding indefinitely.

        Kinda reminds me of the booth you see at outdoor shows staffed by a guy demonstrating aluminum welding with a "special" welding rod and a hand-held propane shop torch. Looked very convincing, but my father was an aluminum welder for decades and I know it's not that simple.

          It looks like there was some sort of small brace perpendicular to the cut they were repairing. Even so, it seemed pretty impressive.
