Thank you to Pauline for some Sugru.

Will it fill and bond cracks in plastic?  The plastic door handle/top trim on our dishwasher is cracked and we've been told it won't work once the whole piece breaks apart.  A new part, fitted, is £260 :o which isn't worth it for a 5 year old machine and a new one only a £100 more (I'm told) but I hate to think of throwing away something that would otherwise work.  How did we manage to crack it?  Someone (Not me) managed to release the child lock and wrench the door open when it was locked; creeping crack ever since.

I'll be tackling my bead door knob at the weekend, hoping I can make as good a job as Pauline/Ann.

Sue, I once made faux sea glass by melting bottle in a terracotta plant saucer. Once cool, I broke it up and tumbled some of the pieces in fine grit. When it was drilled, it developed a hairline crack.
