I watched the video (I only see one on their website) and looked at the slideshow demos.
Any tips you can offer based on your experience?
I received the Plast-Aid today and will try the repair tomorrow. I'll report back.

really the only tips are don't breath the fumes from the liquid, use in a well ventilated place, and make a marble like in the video so you can see how the stuff cures and the stages it goes through. For fixing PVC wait until it is almost honey like pout it in the leak and then as it continues to thiciken add more and shape it (just like in the slideshow). It's pretty straightforward and easy stuff to work with once yo get used to it, which is why I say make a marble like in the first slideshow. http://www.plast-aid.com/applications/marble/marble.htm
It's also available at Amazon -- the price is the same as on the Plast-Aid site, but shipping is included at Amazon and added at Plast-Aid:Plast-aid Repair Plastic 6oz 80400I'm going to have to get some and try it.
I forgot to add that the two times I ordered it I got it from Amazon. Only got the small one the first time but once I worked with it and realized all the potential it had I reordered the large one!
I tried the Plast-aid today. The cracked part is no longer leaking and it seems to be holding even with the flow sensor installed.:cool: Time will tell if the fix will hold long term.
Ain't this forum great!:D
Now I need to fix a leaking pump (looks like it needs new seals).:rolleyes:
