glue help?

[DrewCfromSC]

Hello all, had a chance to spend several hours building today! It was really relaxing after not building in about 10 years. In curious what types of glue would be best for? Im building a NDRA 1983 era wedge dirt track car.

Resin parts.

Plastistruct tubing.

For the resin parts Drew, I like to use 5 min epoxy for outside body work-------ie: attaching bumpers, glass, etc. For inside stuff that folks won't see, you can use a CA (super glue). Be cautioned though that resin soaks up CA like a sponge, so make sure that the part is where you want it before putting it on.

Plastruct tubing I would use liquid glue such as Ambroid Pro Weld (if you can find it) or Tenax. If it were me, I'd try to find the Plastruct that is styrene based and not the other kind as that's been harder to glue for me in past experience. The embedded wire kind I've never been a fan of in particular...............

Hope all this helps!

Thanks! Got a very large box of plastistruct items from a yardsale and getting interested in building a chassis rollbar.
