This stuff conducts low voltage AC and DC circuits in a permanent bond and is easy to use. Our high-tech support group suggests that a toothpick is a good way to apply it. Cures overnight. Our each is a 0.3 oz/9ml jar.

Just like your dentist uses, sort of! Apply Lazer-Bond USA™ UV-cured resin to porcelain, plastic, leather, copper, wood, vinyl, metal, PVC, glass and a bunch of other surfaces, and point the UV LED light at it for three seconds and you'll have a watertight, pliable and paintable bond. You'll get the light, instructions, batteries included, and 1/4 oz of resin, which is more than you think. BONUS! Our each is a 2-pack!

Mega-useful aluminum tape. A 2" wide x 50-yard roll of .004” thick aluminum on a 3” core. Has a paper backing and is conductive on the non-adhesive side. Reflects heat and light, useful for seaming riveted aluminum sheets, particularly good for cold weather and metal repairs. Our fisherman friends love to wrap wooden lures with it and work it with a piece of soft wood for metal-finish effects.

Strong and sticky, easy-to-tear, and just right for repairing vinyl, upholstery, plastic, canvas and most other stuff. On 4-meter (approx 13-foot) rolls, they’re 1-7/8” wide on a 1-1/2” core.
