if he said it sucks, why'd you buy it?

[xmodsNSX94]

he didnt say it sucks ,sorry .

i think it sucks.

from the looks of it my friend, thats cement glue, not actually modeling putty.

[xmodsNSX94]

yeah i see what you mean... will that do the same job as putty?
it still isnt completely cured so i am going to have to buy some body filler or something. i havent got a model shop close by.

might get some monday but will keep you posted.

got the exhaust mounts fitted now just need to sand them ready for the lip. but i got a lot of sanding to do

[xmodsNSX94]

well i got some 2 part putty that went on last night will take some pictures soon and post them up before and after sanding etc

all comments welcome

thanks

xmodsNSX94; that's a lot of work you've been doing to that lady man. Lots of effort on fabricating your clip and wide body. It's getting there man!

There's a couple of products I like to use and they've worked great for me.
I use "plastic fusion" 2/part epoxy to "weld" plastic. I've made my clips, brackets, custom chassis mounts using it and it has never failed me; that thing about "welding plastic" is FOR REAL ha!

this other product I use it to do bodywork and things alike; it's called "quick-plastik" is a putty-like compound that when cured it hardens like plastic; it can be drilled, sanded, etc.etc..etc..

Both products have worked wonders; so far nothing that I've done with any of these has broke. I made a clip for a subaru body ( my beater) and it has taken more heat that a cooking pan and the sucker is mighty fine.


Good work man! keep it up and also keep posting uopdates!
