How do I clean plastic products in my home or business?
Some dish soap in warm water is your best bet. Avoid any harsh cleaners, especially any with alcohol in them, which can cause micro cracks that grow over time.
My plastic display case got scratched. Is there I can do to fix it?
There are some specialized chemicals available that can buff out scratches – they’re available at our location in Edmonton. You can also try a soft buffing wheel on a drill.
I’m considering options for shelving. Is plastic breakable, compared to wood, glass, or metal?
It really depends on the thickness of the plastic and how the shelves are constructed. Plastic is about as strong as wood of the same thickness and six times stronger than standard glass. Metal is, of course, stronger. Like any material, plastic shelves need to be properly built with supports.
My plastic has cracked. What can I do?
Drill a 1/16th hole at the end of the crack, which will stop it from spreading. That will allow you to plug the hole with clear silicone or the time needed to source a new piece.
