Daddy Mack Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I bought an MPC 1968 Promo car with a few missing parts and an area of body gone. I can fix it with parts of a currently-available model kit. Is there a glue that will adhere to both materials: promo & kit styrene? I did search for previous threads on the subject but what i found only dealt with acetate promos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 By '68, promos would have been styrene or ABS, a tougher version of styrene. MEK solvent-types of liquid cement should work fine, as will CAA (superglue-type products) and epoxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer to melt the pieces together so i'll try MEK first. Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
