Hi Bob, this is the first time I hear about Plastex, and I like it!
What kind of repair do you need? Do you have to do a tab repair, or repair a cracked piece?
In the first case, Plastex is the best option, if not you can try using a tin soldering iron, a metallic mosquito net and blend the net onto the plastic, from internal side.
if you will add another piece of ABS you will have best results, obtaining a perfect blending of net into plastic.
