The EPA strikes again!
Got off to a real good start on the wrecker body build today and partway into assembling the bed discovered I was almost out of liquid styrene glue. No problem thinks I, the wife wants to run to an Office Depot that just happens to be by the local hobby shop.
After picking up some needed Evergreen Styrene shapes I asked the clerk for two bottles of Tenax-7R. "Sorry Sir, that's been discontinued. The EPA says any item with a certain chemical which it contains can no longer be sold. We've been out for a while and there won't be any more." Really!!!!! A ONE OUNCE BOTTLE of glue is going to destroy the planet!!!??? Am I getting old and cranky or is this regulation stuff getting totally out of hand? Now right in the middle of a build I have to find a liquid styrene cement that works as good as Tenax did! |

Re: The EPA strikes again!
Try out plastruct plastic weld. Contains MEK and doesn't evaporate as quickly.

Re: The EPA strikes again!
Thanks Benny and Kent! I'll give the Plastruct a try. The LHS didn't have it either but they can order it.
Interesting idea about making your own putty. I'll have to give that a shot too. How does it do for shrinkage? Always loved how easy the Squadron putty worked but the shrink was terrible. |

Good information, thanks. I'll give it a shot as the wrecker moves into the cab construction.

Re: The EPA strikes again!
That’s an interesting place! If I were still into plastic I would have gone nuts, not much for RC.
