Can Peek Be Used On Plastics?

Untitled Document
Peek cream or foam will work great on most plastics. It will remove oxidation, graffiti, stains and minor scuffs from Plexiglas, Lucite, Acrylics, Vinyl windows and many other plastics. Some plastics are too soft or are made of various materials that Peek does not work on. We recommend that you test Peek in a small, hidden area to be sure.

What If Peek Has No Effect?

Untitled Document
This can happen for a few reasons. The corrosion may be too heavy (like heavy green corrosion or heavy rust) and it would need to be stripped with an abrasive to get down to good metal. Peek has no acids or abrasives. (This makes it extremely safe to use on hundreds of surfaces without damage.) If you are trying to clean brass or copper, then you need to consider whether the piece has ever been lacquered.

Peek is not dangerous to use on any metal, but the actual polishing is what rubs the plating off.Chrome plating is different and quite thick. Peek is recommended on Chrome.

The Official Fly From Evil FAQ
Very briefly and very generally, though (which is all I'm giving out just now; don't bother to write and ask for more unless you're applying to playtest), the version of the systems that has done best in playtest is a fairly streamlined, stat-based, rollunder, bell-curve, margin-driven sort of affair. It's crunchy enough to satisfy my need for meatiness over the course of a campaign, and slender enough to satisfy my need to spend more time thinking about characters than rules.

What are my alternatives to the dangerous plastics?

Frequently Asked Questions
Many experts, including doctors and scientists, recommend using glass for food and beverage storage, because it is non-toxic, inert, and 100% recyclable. It has three main drawbacks: (1) it is heavier than plastic or stainless steel; (2) it is breakable; and (3) because it is breakable, it may not be allowed everywhere (e.g., school, swimming pools, beaches).

How can I tell which plastics are recyclable?

Recycling FAQ - Gaiam Community
The numbers inside the "chasing arrows" recycling symbol on the bottom of plastic containers sadly aren’t a consumer guide to recyclability. They cryptically indicate the plastic resin content of the plastic. Your local recycler or pickup service can tell you which numbers it accepts for recycling — but it’s not quite that simple.

Which plastics can I autoclave?

NALGENE Labware - Monthly FAQ
Polypropylene (PP) and polypropylene copolymer (PPCO) products can be autoclaved many times. We have PP containers in our lab that have been autoclaved over 100 times and, although they have yellowed somewhat, they are still in service. Fluoropolymer products, i.e., products made of Teflon PFA, FEP or ETFE, can all be autoclaved without problems, except for the stopcocks in NALGENE Separatory Funnels, which should not be autoclaved because of resultant leakage problems.

There's a crack in my plastics! What do I do?

Plastic FAQ Frequently Asked Questions about Plastic
There is nothing more frustrating than a crack in a piece of Plexiglas or Lexan. Both of these materials are "notch sensitive". By the way, so is glass! That's why you can scribe and break glass (and Plexiglas) along the scribe. These materials have no grain and therefore cracks can travel as they please. However, cracks can be stopped with a simple procedure. Using a very small drill bit, 1/16" or so, drill a hole through the material at the end of the crack. That's it.
