I only figured out the plastic epoxy after I needed to repair the battery box in the airplane. It's a plastic box with a drain nipple for a rubber hose that sticks out the bottom of the fuselage. we found the drain nipple broken off the bottom of the box during that last annual inspection, and some etching of the fuselage skin from the battery acid. My son cleaned up and neutralized the acid (he does this for a living on KC-135's for the Air Force), and I experimented with the plastic epoxies for find one that would work for gluing a new nipple into the bottom of the box. The IA approved the repair and signed the log book. So far, it's looking good. So, yes, I used it on the airplane!
