MEK solvent cement for shower repair

Feb 28, 2006 0 Replies

I've got a motorhome with a plastic shower tray that has a few cracks in it,



there's a place on ebay that sells some stuff in a silicone sealant type tube for repairing plastic shower trays, but it's very expensive, and postage is a bit high too.



All i can see on the photo of the stuff is M.E.K Solvent Cement.



he says it's usually used for the join between a plastic tray and the wall boards in mobile homes/holiday caravans, but it's also ideal for repairs to plastic shower trays,



it comes out like a sealant, but sets to hard plastic in 12 hours.



Anyone know of another brand of this stuff, or where i could get some from in a shop i can walk into... got a B&Q warehouse 25 miles from me, normal b&q and wickes.. but they dont have anything like it, or would a building supplier like jacksons, travis perkins be a better bet to try,



i've searched on the internet and all that comes up for M.E.K solvent cement is what the mek initials stand for, and a load of solvent cleaners, or some cement used in model making that comes in tiny bottles, so that's not the stuff, this is ment to be a gloop type stuff you squidge in the cracks, smooth out, and it sets like new plastic.
