|  Body Glue ? crack repair what do you use
Old 1/5 race body needs some fixing I did some searching and in some other forums as well I have this body piece and it has some good Clear glue on it but Hobby shop could not suggest anything like it said to use a Soldering iron and melt it or to use plastitruct which may also melt it or effect the paint  What glue do you use for Polycarbonate bodies  I am the 2nd owner of the piece I have below it has some Clear glue that is hard but is very strong and sticks well but have no way of finding out what glue it is. Thank u Last edited by toy4crawlin; 12-08-2008 at 07:43 PM. |

Buy yourself a roll of drywall repair tape, the stuff that looks like open mesh with adhesive on one side. Lay 1-3 layers (alternating angle wrt each layer) as necessary. Then mash the Shoo Goo into the mesh with a wetted finger. Works great. Narly1 |

Shoe Goo is good but if you can find Fender Mender that is the sh!&. I think at one time it was distributed by HRP. It comes in a can with a yellow label, the lid has a brush to apply the product. Used it a lot in on-road. It also works good if you use a little in the body mount area to help form damage in that area to the paint or body.

Yeah its like that grid tape. (like the ribs in duct tape). The idea is that your fiber reinforcing the glue. I use Goop or shoe goo whatever is easiest to find. |

Drywall tape or panty hose works really good with the shoe goo.  |
