danoneism 0 Posted May 14, 2009 use uhu glue... the best thing about it is that u can remove the item u stick when u dont want it to be there anymore... and it dont damage the item.. superglue will eat up the plastic part.. anyway about the putty, the best one is to get tamiya epoxy putty... some may use bondite which cost less than tamiya's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

danoneism 0 Posted May 14, 2009 just applied a lil bit of the glue.... if u over press it of cause u'll mess it up... all my custom cars are glued using UHU glue.... by the way, tamiya putty cost rm25-30 if im not mistaken available at tamiya underground one utama or local hobby shops..... and bondite cost rm8-12 which is available at local hardware shop but not all... anyway there's another alternative is to use PYE puttyfilla which the one that i use... its about rm8 and easier to find compare to bondite...

elgee 0 Posted May 17, 2009 you can try buying brake oil, then throw the car body into the oil for a day, once you take it out (careful because its corrosive) use a toothbrush to brush out the paint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

danoneism 0 Posted May 17, 2009 almost the same price if not mistaken... paint remover cost around rm8-rm15... brake oil cost rm12 above..... but paint remover will torn down ur color faster... 10 min and u can start brush it out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayz-HWC 0 Posted May 29, 2009 Guys I believe the brake oil fume is HAZARDOUS! So is the paint remover but doesn't kill you SOFTLY eh!! ....hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aphong2681 0 Posted June 1, 2009 Guys, pls do not assume that if u feel nothing on ur skin than the product is safe to use. Actually, brake oil do harm ur skin if contact directly. Unlike the paint-stripper, u feel nothing but ur skins does react to it. Please read the warning/caution label of any product carefully before using it. Please use latex gloves + mask when using with chemical stuff and ensure good ventilation. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
