|  Epoxy reinforcement?
I installed a plastic printed fender hub inside of my RC4WD hard body using plastic cement but am wondering if anyone can suggest a way to reinforce this?    |

Drywall mesh tape and shoe goo. Let set overnight and it’s done Epoxy will dry lumpy so its like bondo, sanding time if the looks are an issue. The drywall tape inside the wheel wheels can be painted to hide Hang up and Drive Last edited by mikemcE; 12-02-2021 at 01:45 PM. |

Thanks Mike, I even have that combo kicking around so I'll give it a shot.

In what plastic is it printed ? If it's ABS, model glue should be a good bet, it'll melt both surfaces together, you'll have hard times getting a better bond.

I would recommend E6000 over Shoe Goo. They are very similar in terms of holding parts together and curing time with one major exception. E6000 is self-leveling meaing it will flow out to a smooth finish which for your application will make a much nicer looking finished seam.

That can be a plus or minus. It will puddle if not set correctly for curing. Hang up and Drive | |

You do have to be smarter than the glue! Last edited by Inspector86; 12-11-2021 at 07:54 PM. | |

I wasn’t, used 6000 to finish a side tear that I’d started with goo. Added some 6000 to the sides, sat it level.had two blobs on the floor ! That’s the difference in those two, but they both work well if used correctly Hang up and Drive | |
