Does anyone know FROM EXPERIENCE (please, NO GUESSES) whether this works on plexiglass (acrylic) or lexan (polycarbonate)?

Are you putting it outside in the weather? I have only used on glass and bake it on for durability. The paint can be used on plexiglass but if it can't be baked it may not stay on.

I've not tried it on plexiglass but I would think it would stick to plexiglass even better than it does to glass.

I used to have the same problem. I remember, I went to Home Depot. They have a grey product specifically made for this application. I don't remember the name. I am sure you can ask someone there. It is still filling the cracks and is doing it's job. I would not use Lexel for this application.

I used it to repair some 21/2' pvc pipe and it seemed to work ok. i know it bonds very well to wood and metal. it says it works for boat repair. I mix it on a sheet of lexan, because i saw a repair tip that said pc-11 doesn't set up as quickly on lexan. i assume this means that it doesn't bond as well on lexan.

Sorry, I am unable to help you as I have not used them on plexiglass and I don't have any to try them on :-(

I don't know how well it adheres to plexiglass. I used this in my bathroom over the shower/bath window, and it has adhered well for years in a moist environment. If your area is subject to temperature extremes, such as the midwest, I don't know that outside is a good idea. As Jason suggests, I'd check the manuf.'s recommendations.

No. I actually used it on plastic and it made it a bit worse and don't use Meguiar's plastx it can ruin plastic too. If they are light scratches the best thing I found, especially for dark plastics, is Meguiar's Deep Crystal Carnuba Wax. It does not get rid of the scratches but it does help make them a bit less noticeable.

I tried it on vinyl siding and it worked without cracking it. I don't know about the ABS plastic, if it is hard like plexi glass then I think it would probably crack.

I use this on my shower doors which are plexiglass. I would think it would work on vinyl. Did you check with the manufacturer to be sure?

I suggest going to a place that specializes in Plexiglass and have a piece of that cut to fit the difference between where the window kit ends and the top of the slider. Go for a bit thicker than thinner so it doesn't bend easily, plus it will look nicer during the daylight hours than a solid item like wood... We have a Tap Plastics out here in Northern California - Good luck!

I do not know for sure, but Per the Eplastics websiteThe ePlastics OnLine Plexiglass acrylic plastic sheets including the Bronze and Gray acrylic solar control shades.- Note that the color, solar energy, and transmission values do NOT change with thickness.Color_______Solar Energy___Visible Light Colorless_______85%___________92% Gray 2064______36%___________25% Gray 2074______24%___________13% Bronze 2404____56%___________49% Bronze 2412____35%___________25% Bronze 2370____20%___________11% Not sure of the exact color, but this show that Polycarbonate sheets have some solar and light reduction even if clear.

Not sure about acrylic. It worked great on the clear plastic dashboard lenses on a 30 year old truck.

It says "not for plastic or acrylic" so I would assume that it should not be used on fiberglass.

I always buy gloss. I am not aware if it comes in satin or matte finishes. There are so many different types of plastics that I cannot say that it works on "all" plastics. I have sprayed it over THIN washes of acrylic artists' paint on canvas and other materials. I have had problems with spraying this over over acrylic clear sprays, like Krylon Crystal Clear. Sometimes the paint surface buckles. I have sprayed it over DRY gold and metal leaf with good results. It also seems to work over DRY gold size, a type of varnish. I have also tried it on fiberglass furniture with high gloss finishes. Sometimes it will not take on this type of surface. I have also sprayed it on small pieces of metal jewelry (but usually prefer not to do this). Hope this helps. You should probably experiment in scraps of different types of plastic.

The label states " All types of clear and colored plastic. Perspex, Lucite, Plexiglass, Fiberglass, ABS, Mylar(window tints) Lexan, Acrylite, and all other acrylics, including painted surfaces.. My answer is absolutely yes it is recommended in your situation.. I use it on all different surfaces. Its awesom on bugs and insects splattered on my bikes shields.. Even the fiberglass saddlebags, front batwing fairing.. The metal parts like the gas tank and such also.. Ive had many different bikes with different manufacturers of different shields using Lexan,,etc ABS, etc.. This Plexus is expensive but to me it far out performs anything else I have tried and I have tried a bunch.. The can does warn clearly to NOT use paper towels.. I use the microfiber towels and have no problems. I finally quit looking and have been using Plexus for over 5 years now and it even will remove road film and grease, tar is a tough one but it tries.

It will work fine with any glass or plexiglass 1/4 inch or less. I used it on 1/4" tinted glass about 34" high by 24 inches wide. Works great.

You would need to make your own. I had a plastics place in town cut two sheets of 1/8" acrylic. If you did that you could either paint one side of the acrylic white, or put a large sheet of white paper behind the acrylic so your writing stands out.
