    Plastic Kit Gluing

    Should Plastic kit parts other then the hulls being converted to RC be glued with a product such as Tamiya Liquid Glue. I will epoxy the hulls. I have seen dabbing the material seams after joining them together allowing the Tamiya Glue to travel along and in the seam. I am unsure as to wether the Tamiya will disintegrate in salt water?

    A fusion weld (cohesion) is stronger than an adhesive bond. Go with the solvent cement when you can.
