If this Alumilite Amazing Casting Resin

locally available to me at Micheal's Crafts

Is the right product to fill in the open spaces

In my 1/6th scale Hasbro Jeep plastic chassis

To stiffen it and be able to mount my four links mounts

In the plastic rails

Just wanted to make sure its the right product

Thank you

Don't know, because I've never used it. I've used just a basic 2 part Epoxy available at any hardware store.

When I re-enforced the trailer, I used styrene and epoxy to fill in the framework, made a nice firm framework to screw the "shackles" in to.

Looks like you just need some meth

No, it's not the right product. It's for making resin copies from a mold pattern. I have no idea what to use fro your purpose except for maybe a JB plastic weld.

I filled in the voids with styrene on my Jerp, a few other guys have used some aluminum bar stock on theirs.

I was thinking Resin, cause I need to do the Hasbro Jeep chassis and the 2 1/6th scale trailers need filled in, so I can mount leaf spring hangers on the trailers

I just looked and found this Stewmac gap filling 2 part epoxy, not sure if it can be drilled or tapped

So I still need to look, I was hoping some one on here, could suggest the product

On a serious note,

That body looks like it had a rough previous life. I'm sure it's thankful you own it now.

I asked in the tools & procedures forum a while back about resin for reinforcing a hard-body for use as a buck when making an aluminum body. The recommendation I got was this stuff.

If you can, something with a metal filler like JB weld, I would think would be best. If people are using styrene for this, resin should be OK. I have never done this though so my opinions really aren't valid.

The JB Plastic Weld comes in a squeeze tube and is too expensive, cause I have a lot to fill in, with the Jeep Chassis and 2 1/6 scale trailers

The gap filling stuff, you mix the 2 parts, it turns to paste, you then use a putty knife and have 20 minutes to work into the openings

So I could do batches and sections at a time to fill the gaps in

look at the pictures there is a lot too fill in

And the transfer case is going to mounted on the chassis

Want fill in around it also
