Re: ☆ The Chop Shop What Glue to Use For Body Work/Repairing Cracks in Plastic and W
I also want to add a little trick I learned on my Brute build. When cutting the plastic cages or shock towers that most Axial rigs have (i.e. Wraith, Honcho, Dingo, Ridgecrest, Deadbolt) you can use the Tenax 7R or Bondene to make the raw cut end smooth again. Just brush it on after you've sanded the spot and it will smooth over and have a satin gloss finish to it. It basically takes a raw cut and gives a factory like finish.
I've also used this lately too. Testors clear window glue/maker. I picked up a bottle to do the taillight housings for SuperShafty's F150. It dries clear as can be. Use it to glue clear styrene or repair your cracked windows. Heck, you can even make a window from scratch with the stuff although I recommend using clear styrene instead.
That and clear .20 styrene followed up with some candy red paint is what I used to make these :shock:.
Very nice build Szczerba!thanks. I used Dawn soap, warm water and a kitchen semi soft scrub pad. Did the trick.
I'll be testing my building skills soon and referring back to this thread.
