Have been using Mend-It for a while, and i do love it. But is there anything else similar to it?

Supposedly you can make your own using a 50/50 mix of acetone and clear PVC cement. Mend-it has more ingredients than that, but it should work.

The active ingredient in these products is MethylEthylKetone (MEK), which is also the main ingredient in the clear PVC cement. MEK reacts with the plasticizers in your bait and welds it together.
