Default I prefer thebranded Shoo Goo

Any of the Goop type glues work well, I have found Shoe Goo actually shrinks as it dries more than some of the other formulas. Also double sided tape can work, but here its Shoe Goo.

No I do not have shares in the company.

Thanks....shoe goo sounds good to me. But till I get it fitted, I'm going with the 2 sided tape...thanks....it's the first one and I want to get it as close as possible. I'm still waiting on windshield tint and working on the little guy and cockpit....the interior I'm modeling but as a display , not in the car. I've got a donor from a Mclaren just gotta do a little work on it.

I use CA glue to get the mounts located then JB weld to lock it in place and for extra support.
Works well on all plastics and resins, (so far).

Guido,

I have used CA type cement with great success.

Here is a Fly Porsche body mounted on a HRS2 chassis -



The car has been in several races and uncountless practice sessions. The body mounts have never come loose, nor have the 'rocker panels' on the body.

CA Works for me.

I have used both CA glue and that mounting tape that has foam in between the two sticky sides. Both have worked without any issues.
