    i dunno if that will work on plastic items. once you get it hot enuff to work, prolly gonna melt or warp ya drive plates, and the stuff might/might not stick.

    from their site :

    Plates - All Steels, Irons, Copper, Brass, Bronze, Titanium,

    no mention of plastic i could find. besides it doesnt make sense. metal just doesnt want to bond to plastic, plus when you bring it to a boil i dont think that will be very good for the palstic either.
