3M Plastic Repair Cartridge 200 mL Translucent — Super-Fast Urethane Adhesive for Automotive Repairs

3M Super Fast Plastic Repair 04247 is a two-part, fast-setting urethane adhesive cartridge designed to quickly bond and rebuild automotive and industrial plastics with a translucent finish.

This professional-grade cartridge combines a high-strength urethane adhesive with rapid cure speed and gap-filling properties to repair cracked or broken plastic components. Supplied with static-mixing nozzles, the 200 mL (6.75 fl oz) kit is formulated for demanding workshop and collision-repair environments where a durable, non-brittle bond and fast turnaround are essential. The translucent resin blends well with many substrates while providing the toughness required for structural and cosmetic repairs.

How quickly will this plastic repair set so I can finish the job?

The compound is engineered for a fast initial set, typically fixing in about 20 seconds under normal conditions and allowing quick handling. Full mechanical strength develops after the recommended cure time, depending on ambient temperature and joint size.

• Approximately 20-second initial set time for rapid tack and trimming
• Two-part urethane chemistry resists brittleness during cure
• Static-mixing nozzles ensure consistent mix and reliable performance

Which materials and repair types is this cartridge best suited for?

The adhesive bonds a wide array of substrates common in automotive and industrial repairs, including many thermoplastics, composites and metals when used as part of a mechanical or adhesive repair strategy. It also fills gaps and rebuilds damaged areas where reinforcement or reshaping is needed.

• Bonds many plastics used in bumpers, trim, and housings
• Works with reinforced repairs or with mechanical fasteners for structural strength
• Gap-filling capability handles uneven joints and missing material

What advantages does the urethane adhesive provide over alternatives?

Urethane delivers a balance of toughness and flexibility so repaired parts withstand vibration and impact better than brittle adhesives. It remains resilient over time and is less likely to crack compared with cyanoacrylate (super glue) in stressed applications.

• Non-brittle cure reduces risk of failure under stress
• Durable bond that tolerates flex and shock in service
• Translucent finish helps with blending and subsequent finishing

What comes in the package and how is it applied?

Each 200 mL cartridge includes the resin and hardener preloaded and two static-mixing nozzles for one-pass, consistent mixing. The cartridge is dispensed with a compatible caulking or epoxy gun and applied directly into the repair area; follow surface preparation and safety guidance for best results.

• 200 mL (6.75 fl oz) two-part cartridge, translucent resin
• Two static-mixing nozzles for reliable proportioning and application
• Requires a dispensing gun; surface prep improves adhesion and finish

This product is designed for industrial and occupational use and is not intended for consumer retail sale or home DIY only scenarios. Always consult the technical data sheet and wear appropriate PPE when handling two-part urethane systems.

Who is this for: Professionals in collision repair, fleet maintenance, industrial maintenance, and fabrication who need a fast-setting, tough-repair urethane for plastic parts. It's ideal for technicians who require a cartridge format that dispenses reliably, fills gaps, and cures to a non-brittle bond for trims, housings, bumpers, and composite components.
