As a project I am interested in getting some Liquid plastic, the sort you could possibly recover or repair insulated tools with, I realise it won't be up to VDE standards, but would like to give it a try anyway, anyone got any ideas as to where I can get some? tried The Shed, Wickes etc.

Marlin do polymer balls that can be melted and then shaped for small plastic hobby type of things
 
Thought of Maplins as I was leaving the sheds this morning, but my memory had gone by the time I had passed the store, thanks anyway will have a look see tomorrow.

whilst we're on the subject of getting hold of the unusual, anyone know where i can get a bowden cable repaired or replaced? pic shows where the plastic retaining collar has snapped on the groove. ( should be enlargeable).

Acetone and polystiryne.

Dissolve the polystiryne into the acetone until it's like gel and layer on.
Rather brittle if they're airbubbles but very diy :D
 
when operated, the collar is under tension. should have been made of metal, but that's Ford for you. their answer is to replace cable and lock assembly ( can't buy the cable separately ). parts cost ÂŁ100. labour if they fit it ÂŁ80.
