lorrylemming Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Inspired by this thread I spotted this contact adhesive in Lidl, for £2 it was worth a try. Turned out that I'm really bad at using it but it has worked I think, took 3 coats though which sounds like more than shoo goo etc. Probably do some more practice before using it on a new bodyshell.

mydoddy69 Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 The thing you have to look out for is if it’s flexible, waterproof and non Solvent if it ticks those boxes it should be fine no matter the colour or brand 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 One of the best applicators I found was those pva glue sticks from school everything else I used had gum build up I swore by this method ive never broken a body shell once reinforced. Even old ragged bodies can be made good again. Shoe goo is stupidly expensive ide have loved an alternative but just got the goo knowing the body will be protected and cost a bomb to install from clear time and money the goo is worth it in the end.

In reality it’s not. That tuff stuff melted the shell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertberr Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Could you be a little more specific please as to which product melted the shell, guessing you're not referring to the stuff doddy used? Might stop somebody else screwing up a shell. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have thought If it melted the shell then it’s not solvent free. Got a link to the product ? When trying out a product always do a test on a bit of scrap first like I did at the beginning of this thread. Im loving the Gorilla stuff keep finding loads of uses for it 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I used a Unibond product years ago on the only shell I've ever scrim-taped. Worked perfectly, still got it. Can't recall which one it was. Next time I'll probably try "sticks like". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used stick like sh... on some new 1/8 truggy wheels to stick the tyres, running on 4s. It didnt work. Back to CA glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertberr Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I've done three bodies now with this stuff, a 1/18 SCT, a 1/16 Truggy and a 1/10 MT. Now, it may just be me, being a bit generous with the stuff, but I couldn't believe how heavy the bodies are post 'treatment'. The 1/10 MT weighed 80-90 grams more afterwards...but it does seem like it could take a real beating now without cracking. The 1/16 truggy shell has had two fairly barbaric skate park sessions since reinforcement, with plenty of hits that would have cracked the standard body, and its still good as new, so I'm impressed with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbs Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I used Soudal Fix all from Screwfix - https://www.screwfix.com/p/soudal-fix-all-sealant-adhesive-crystal-290ml/51412 This seemed to do a good job of being strong and flexible and much cheaper than shoo goo.
