My husband and I were browsing around for luggage for our holiday, but we were on a severe budget. We came across a free piece of luggage! The issue was it had a wheel with a huge chunk taken out of it, so when you'd pull it, it would bounce up and down and make a thunking sound. Annoying! But not annoying enough for us to let it go to waste. Here's how to fix a lopsided rubber or plastic wheel using a product called Plast-aid.

I like it.
I just learned a new idea with plastic...Thanks for the information about repairs for plastics
You're welcome! :)
I have some old (maybe 100 years) garden tools. The grain in the wooden handles has 'opened up' a lot. I would like to fill the grain and thought about using Plastic Wood but a tiny can is expensive.
Walmart sells DAP wood filler for under $3!! Check it out. I highly suggest this stuff though. It will cause things to never chip again!!!
JSYK Plastic wood is nothing like a wood filler. It is so hard, it's almost impossible to sand by hand. Most nails would bend if you tried to drive them through it.
Not Plasti-aid, its a really useful product. Its a bottle of powder and a bottle of activator liquid. Some of its features are :
-It can be mixed to a workable consistency for almost any project, from pourable liquid to mouldable putty depending on how much of each part you use. Then once youve got it in a close enough shape and its hardened you can sand it fairly easily or drill a hole, or even twist a bolt into it while still curing to make a threaded hole.
Anyway its great...here- just watch the video demo and be amazed.
