All being well, I should soon start on my first bit of kit bashing soon.
This plans to involve cutting and shutting various plastic body parts and attempting to reprofile some areas with filler and plasticard.
If the project goes to plan I hope to give it to a friend to cast mould for resin, but also would like to run the modified body as is, so need something up to the rigours of slot racing.
so I ask those of you who have been at it some time:
Best adhesive for bonding plastics ?
Best filler for smoothing and reshaping ?
Both needing to be freely available in the UK.
In my current arsenal I have G.S. Hypo cement, Humbrol modelers cement and JB weld Steel reinforced epoxy.
And was thinking of using car body filler (P38) for the other work ?
Anything known to be stronger / better for either of the above tasks ?
