Last month I purchased a PlastiFix repair kit to restore the ABS grill on "The Never Ending Story". The repairs included reconstructing a missing threaded mount; forming a 3/4" square missing section of the grill; repairing hairline cracks and several nicks, chips and wear points found on the 37 year old grill.
The PlastiFix was easy to work, easily sanded to a feather edge and set-up fairly quickly.
The company literature states PlastiFix works on most rigid plastics such as ABS, PC, PVC, nylon, PET and fiberglass as well as glass, metal and wood. It DOES NOT WORK on PE and PP.
Just thought I would share my good experience using this product with the GMC community just in case the members using the Forum were not aware that this product exists.
Additional information , if your interested, is available at www.plastiFix.com

Thanks, John, I'll pick up a tube to test. My go-to patch material is MarineTex. Cons: Hard to work with, poor pot life, expensive. Pros: It will stand hard use. Stays fixed.

I believe the manufacturer says yes. Check the website link.
