Probably pretty well. I haven't used it on clear acrylic only on a black molybdenum filled nylon. I used it for marking manufacture dates on the parts I made and it worked very well. All in all the tool worked better than I expected.

I have not tried it in plastic but it works great on head ligths it leaves them shiny what i would recomend is put a small amount on the corner and see how it goes

Never used it for that. Used it on plexiglass only and it works great for that.

I'm not sure and don't want to pretend to know and give the wrong advice. I've only used it on plastic and it worked well.

Jelmar is the mfg and they have a list of FAQ's at this link http://jelmar.com/faq.htm We don't believe you can use the product on plastic but you will find your answer at the link

I tried this on white and then clear contact paper. It worked much better on the clear. With a light touch it melted the plastic but left the peel away paper intact. Make sure the tool is very hot and only use in a well ventilated space. BTW - Using contact paper is a great idea for stencil making. When I did etchings years ago I cut stencils from masking tape (tedious!). I paint on fabric now and use my sewing machine to make freezer paper stencils.

I haven't used it on glass but it does a great job on plastics. I'm going to say it would if used with care. Not to aggressive of a cut and a slower speed.

Yes, I put a few small squirts on a paper towel and wipe it on and then wipe it off with a clean paper towel. I would test it on an inconspicuous place to make sure it doesn't take of any finish. I mainly use it on metal and plastic, and so far it hasn't taken any finishes off.

It should still work fine. You just slide the cardboard backing plate up closer to the plexiglass.

I used it on glass - but I'm thinking it might work just as well as long as the plexiglass is smooth and doesn't have scratches in it. That's just my opinion, of course.

Hello, I don't think the glue will work well with plastic. I tried it on a couple of small plastic toy pieces and it did not work. Works great with paper and cardboard. Good luck finding something that works.

I have only tried them on plastic once and they did ok. I did not have a problem with them running. It may depend on the type plastic you are using as to whether or not it splotches. I have found them to be very durable.

I used it to weld a plexiglass panel to a vinyl convertible top after the glass panel broke. It worked perfectly! Just prep the panel with the primer and be prepared to hold it in place for about 30 minutes till the epoxy sets up. Oh yeh,,, and WEAR RUBBER GLOVES, THIS STUFF IS MESSY!!!

I haven't used them on plastic, but my guess is they would work. When done properly, the adhesive is really good. But like I said, I haven't tried it personally.

Haven't actually used them on plastic, but they worked on 1-inch plywood painted with a plastic-like coating.

I would think it would be fine on Plexiglass. Check the manufacturer'so web site to be sure. But I don't think it would be good on the outside of the window, because it uses water to adhere to the glass. I would be concerned that rainwater would cause it to peel off if it were applied outside. Why not apply it from the inside? I think you will still get a nice effect.
