- Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2025Color: ClearVerified PurchaseAlthough it it is smaller than other ptex sticks out there it definitely does the job and does it well. If you know what you're doing you can minimize the oxidation and inturn you will have less black particles when using the clear sticks. For me if I'm less worried about what my base looks like and more how it performs.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2023Color: BlackVerified PurchaseGlad I ordered this product. A quick internet search taught me how to make a repair and I was able to fix a gouge in no time. Take caution though. It burns hot
- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2023Color: ClearVerified PurchasePtex is good .
Black is harder and more durable . Clear looks good but try to keep flame blue because yellow flame will cause carbon residue in repair. Black is just black and easier to control flow.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2023Color: BlackVerified PurchaseProduct filled the nicks and cuts in my skis. It seems to have bonded well to the other plastic. Hopefully it will hold up when I go skiing in December. I'm 6' 3" tall at about 250 Lbs. so I'll put it to the test for sure. Hopefully I remember to update the review. I'm sure if it fails, you'll know about it. If it works, probably won't hear anymore from me. More expensive than it should be for some HDPE sticks, but material prices were crazy after Covid and these were some of the most reasonably priced ones at the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well, easy to control
Color: ClearVerified PurchaseWorked well for the scratches on my board. Sticks were longer and thinner than other ptex sticks I've used, but that made it pretty easy to light and keep burning clean / manage the carbon build-up.
