I went back to Wal-Mart to clean out their stock of this magnificent ABS epoxy and BOOM! They were out and didn't even have the display any longer. A severe panic set in so I went on a mission and finally found it at O'Reilly Auto, AutoZone and K-Mart. Wheew...a close call! You might still have it at Wal-Mart where you live, but I'm pretty certain these others will carry it for quite a while.

AutoZone can run out too. Especially when I need some more.

 

I noticed if this stuff sits for a while, even unopened, it will change color and no longer be usable. it will look like the contents had separated. Might be the heat in my garage during the summer that makes it useless.

The STICK is what I am using. The other might be as good or better, don't know.

I discovered that Wal-Mart had moved it from Hardware to Automotive. I bought their last 3 sticks yesterday. Also, at O'Reilly Auto, it's a special order item and takes about 4 days to get it (depending on the location of their warehouse).

Hi,

 

I have been talking to support@permatex.com about the NON availability of 84315 in Canada. Apparently the Canadian version is 84325 but they also tell me that both US and Cdn versions have now been discontinued. (Despite that, I was able to pick up a couple of packs at the Walmart in Niagara Falls NY last week. Its almost all used up now though.)

 

It has crossed my mind to wonder if the right hand knows what the left hand is doing down there at Permatex, see my correspondence with them below. I'll keep you posted if Rene comes up with any thing useful.

 

BTW, has anyone tried this mighty putty stuff ? Permatex denies that it is the same stuff but I notice it looks a lot like the Permatex 84315 and if Permatex has discontinued thier product, they may well have sold off a bulk lot to these telemarketing types. I'm tempted to try some but with their tripple offer I'd end up with too much of the stuff if its a dud.

 

Cheers,

 

Brian H.

 

Hello Brian,

 

I just got the information that Canadian item/product is also

discontinued.

Our Technician Rene will contact you and will suggest another similar

product for your application.

Your request was already sent to him.

 

Have a nice weekend Brian.

Best regards,

 

Margaret.

Hi,

 

Thanks for this info.

 

Where can I buy 84325 retail ?

 

A search for 84325 on the Permatex web site does not show any product by

that number.

 

How can I locate some of this product?

 

Thanks,

Has anyone tried this alternate brand of plastic specific epoxy putty product on first gen bodywork ? Reviews ?

 

Seems to be available at ACE hardware which are not present in Canada.

I got some of that Blue Magic stuff but haven't tried it yet. I also got some stuff called Waterweld from the makers of JB Weld and I have used some of it. Seemed to work so far and I have been pleased with JB Weld over the years:thumbsup2:

I have used the Perma Poxy plastic weld to put the tabs back on the side covers of my '84. I've also used it to fix the chin spoiler on my daughters little Mazda. With the chin spoiler I added some of the Waterweld on the ends to reinforce the repair. The putty grips the plastic really well and cures hard. I'm hoping it hold up, I guess we'll find out the next time she parks and catches the spoiler on the curb.

This weekend, my wife pointed out that a local drug store had some of the "as seen on TV" "mighty putty" stuff, of infomercial fame, on for 2 sticks for $10, so we bought some.

 

I tried it out on a body panel repair yesterday and I have to say that, it looks, feels, smells and seems to work exactly like the PERMAPOXY #84315 stuff.

 

I am reasonably certain that it is the same stuff despite what the folks at Permatex say. No guarantees expressed or implied, your mileage may vary, yada yada yada but I have convinced my self that they are the same.

 

I'll keep you posted if things come un stuck.

 

Hope this is of interest.

I like the runny stuff, that way I can use some fiberglass mat embedded in it

 

The runny stuff is hard to use on the under side of things. The putty type is great for that and stays where you put it regardless of orientation.

 

I use the fibreglass tape, that is sold for drywall repairs, in my PermaPoxy/MightyPutty repairs. It works great. You know, the stuff that is a roll of fibreglass in strands arranged in a square mesh pattern about 1/16" x 1/16". I am sure it has a brand name but I can't think of it now. FirbreTape maybe ?

 

Once I have the repair site set up, IE clean and clamped or whatever, I cut a piece of the f/g tape that is just larger than the repair I am doing. Then I cut and kneed the putty in approximately the right amount and then split the batch in two.

 

I apply one of the halves to the repair site and work it in well. Then I lay the f/g tape over the top of that still soft epoxy and press it in so it stays put. Then, I put the second half of the batch of epoxy over the top of that and work it in and spread it out over the whole area. Voila, embeded fibreglass reenforcement.

 

Once the epoxy is hardened up, I use an exacto knife or some fine snippers to snip the f/g strands one at a time around the edge of the epoxy patch. It seems to work well. Its not going to win any beauty contests but done on the back side with the putty pushed into the crack or gap it seems to make good strong repairs so far.

 

I have been meaning to arrange the f/g tape so that its squares are on a diagonal to the crack or join I am epoxying together but so far I have forgotten at the key moments every time.

 

Hope this is of interest.

I used the putty type (Permatex) on my trunk repair yesterday.

Easily found it at Wal Mart.

I am pleased with the results, it stays where you put it and no messy mixing.

Very hard when dries.

I have a '99 RSV and apparently the trunk mod was not done.

I was getting a bunch of cracking working out from the rear mounting holes.

I put thick rubber washers on both sides and used longer bolts.

Should be good for a while.
