Mr mopar Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Witch kind of Glue do I use on Aluminum Fuel tanks and cast metal brackets and to the plastic frame. Thanks Doug
Old Buckaroo Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 I use to use 5 minute epoxy , but pretty much just use a "gap filling CA glue" anymore for the oddities.
Pete J. Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 I used Zap's Poly Zap for this one. Poly Zap was developed for gluing Lexan R/C bodies. It has more flexibility so it accommodates temperature expansion of dissimilar materials better. It is the sole super glue that I use. It also had very good non-fogging propertied. If you don't use kicker it won't fog.
Pete J. Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Epoxy works well also if you get the slow curing type but I don't have the patients for that. Sitting there holding an odd shaped piece for 10 minutes is just beyond my limit of endurance. Polyzap gives you enough open time to move things around and get it set. Since you are using aluminum, you can clean it up with a little acetone on a Qtip.
