rc4wd beast body build?

[whitrzac]

I have 2 bottles of plastruct bondene.

Should I follow the directions on the bottle(assemble, then apply glue) or is there some other technique I should follow?


Any advice from people that have built the body/other styrene bodies?

Yeah assemble the peices and brush the bondene into the joints. It will get pulled along the seams by capilary action. It will melt the plastic together. I like to wiggle and press the 2 peices together fairly hard after applying the welder to assure a good bond. Almost like mixing the melted plastic together if that makes sense. Once the welder has all evaporated youll basically have a bond as strong as the plastic itself. Personally I prefer tenax over bondene. I feel it evaporates faster, which lets me construct things a bit quicker. But the bondene will work just fine. GL
