resin body

[redzed]

working on my first resin body. what glue should be used to glue styrene to resin ? have to glue styrene inner fenders to resin body, also firewall.

testors, ca, or gel ca ? thanks

Testors will not work, it bonds by melting the plastic and will not adhere to resin. CA (super glue) or 2 part epoxy glue will get the job done. If using CA glues, you may want to reinforce the joint with epoxy glue where you won't see it.

I prefer 30-minute or longer setup epoxy for joining dissimilar materials. The 5-minute stuff just isn't strong enough in my opinion.

Barring that, "toughened" Loctite gel is my second go-to.
