Many months ago I bought a Kilo of this stuff as it intriqued me!
You put some granules in hot water and they 'melt' together to form a sort of plasticine, which can be formed into many shapes or used to build up a broken part.
When it gets cold it turns rock hard, can be re-used time and time again.
Today I noticed the end of a curtain rail had AGAIN pulled out of the wall despite several attempts in the past to wallplug it. Unfortumately behind the plaster is a concrete lintel and it will not drill vey far in so the plug is mainly held by and inch or so of plaster which does not hold plugs very well.
Had a small brainwave, remove plug, ram some of this stuff into the now 'ragged' hole and screw in screw.
Polymer went rock hard, screw is in so tight I cannot turn it any more. job done!
This stuff I think could have many uses in MH's and around the home, well worth buyiing some.
