Nice work Anthony!

Thanks David!

Thanks! I should use regular JB-Weld instead of the JB-Kwik Weld?

Thanks Wayne! I suppose the regular JB-Weld is stronger than the JB KwikWeld which is sort of a 6 minute JB-Weld. I'm gluing a small brass with nickel coating, nut, to styrene so I can attach a part with a screw. I mentioned in another thread that I used Devcon 5 Minute Epoxy and the nut didn't hold.

Is JB-Weld is much stronger the Devcon 5 Minute Epoxy? How strong is JB-Weld compared to JB KwikWeld?

Are these Enamel or Lacquer?

The nut is in an area that is surrounded on 2 sides. I'll add a piece of styrene to the 3rd side however it's on an edge so I can't completely box it in. The color of the JB-Weld doesn't make a difference. southpier - I drilled holes under the screws so they definitely don't bottom out. afx - I like your idea of flooding the area with liquid cement to make a recess. I'll try that. Is it safe to assume JB-Weld is much stronger the Devcon 5 Minute Epoxy? Should I use regular JB-Weld instead of JB KwikWeld?

Tyrone, What brand/type of paint did you use on the body? Is this from the Auto Lacquer line? Is it decanted from a spay can or did it come in a bottle? Which clear did you use? Did you airbrush the clear on as well? Mike.

I'm working on a project and need to glue small, 4 mm, nuts onto styrene so I can attached parts with screws. The nuts are brass with nickel coating and the screws are hardened steel with nickel coating. I tried using 5 minute Devcon 2 parts Epoxy with mixed results. One of the small nuts stayed in place but the other one broke free after I tightened the screw on a couple of times. I had to remove the part and when I tightened the screw the nut broke loose. Is JB-Weld better for gluing the small nut to the styrene? There is regular JB-Weld and KwikWeld. I assume the regular JB-Weld is the better choice and the nut will never break free. Any advice is appreciated.

I think I still have that issue of Hot Rod with Rick Dobbertins '65 Nova. I remember reading that back in '82 and couldn't believe what Rick put into the motor. This is a really interesting build and you are doing a fantastic job so far! Mike.

Tyrone, The paint looks like glass, it's soooo smoooth!!! Beautiful job! You mentioned you used model masters gloss black thinned down. Is this from the Auto Lacquer line? Is it decanted from a spay can or did it come in a bottle? Which clear did you use? Did you airbrush the clear on as well? Mike.

WOW, that looks awesome! Tyrone, what grit sand paper did you wet sand with?

Tyrone, those cars are incredible! Whoever built the yellow '69 Camaro with the shortened rear and widened ralley wheels did a beautiful job. Mike.
