[Heath] heathkit parts

[G3OOU at aol.com]

Hi Pat
 
I have had some success repairing cracked Heathkit dials with a product  
from Revell called Contacta Professional which is a liquid glue for plastics 
and  it appears to contain a solvent that works with the dial without over 
softening  the plastic but sets very hard. This is manufactured in Germany and 
freely  available in Europe and the UK in 25gram containers.
 
I emailed Revell in the States who confirmed that they do not have any  
plans to import this product. I also investigated sending a small container of  
it to a fellow collector in the States but the UK Post Office indicated 
that it  would not approve the product for dispatch by post as it is solvent 
based.
 
Perhaps someone on holiday here could take a container back and try it  out?
