|  Weld on 45 Lexan Glue?
Okay I've been working on my Scale WK first build and moving towards the body work now. Anyone used this? It is a Lexan solvent glue, basically adheres lexan to lexan my melding the parts simalar to a PVC glue. I might test it out a bit on some body scrap to see what effects it has. |

That might be a better option, does it hold securely? as in if you flex it does it feel like it wants to crack?. The weld on is suppose to fuse the plastics rather than adhere, I just want to make sure if I try this it doest crack off at glue seam later. Dave |

the bondene bonds the plastic on a molecular level, not just gluing two pieces. yes it does hold pretty well, plus i went and put several layers on after each dried. i flexed the entire body and it didnt crack. i'm still going to back it with some shoe goo for extra strength.

Did you need to order this online? or a local store carry it? I was about to order some of the Weld, but this looks better since the Weld looks to be almost a paste. I have 2 projects I want to try, first being flat fendering an HPI Rubi Body, the second is making a scale AEV Brute body. Both will need extensive Lexan body work. |
