like woz said its a yes, the gel is probably a bit better, it doesnt go every where like the liquid can

i'm not 100% sure raven, but i think it may be ABS/polystyrene cross, its a weird plastic, and youre right, not much sticks to it permanantly

sanding the etch brass face or the metal face that you glue to the plastic also helps....
