crazyjim Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Is it OK to use those plastic medicine bottles on a styrene kit? I want to try and make rounded corners on a pickup bed.
SfanGoch Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Sure, just use epoxy ( I use Loctite Marine Epoxy) to attach them.
crazyjim Posted March 31, 2018 Author Posted March 31, 2018 Nuts. Thank you. I'll have to get some epoxy.
High octane Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 I've been using Devcon 5-Minute Epoxy for years now and it works great, as it dries clear and has a strong bond. It sets up in 5 minutes but it fully cures in 24 hours. I no longer have to take a "repair kit" when I take my models to display at club meetings or NNLs.
espo Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 They also work good for making inner fenders to clear larger rear tires. I did a Pro Street Truck a few years ago and they worked perfect for the portion of the fender you would see inside the bed.
