Lawless Scout Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 What’s the proper ABS putty mix? Also what’s the experience with JB Weld vs Devcon Plastic Weld to Bond the two halves of the helmet? Using the ABS putty mix is better? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does stink though so make sure you work with it in a ventilated area. This is how it looked after curing and sanding: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which bucket is that? Guess I’ll have to roll out to the store tomorrow and get some Devcon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopper Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I've used devcon a bunch. It works well and has a relatively flexible bond. It starts to set really fast though, so make sure you get your placement correct the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
