obsessiveshooter Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 another vote for jb weld, and straight 60 grit from Amazon. I've never had it release on me, and it even works on rubber, like cz factory grips. Just clean what you are working on carefully with acetone or alcohol. If you like skate tape texture, 60 grit is a great match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original, which I think is an hour or so??? You want time to make it look perfect, then set it aside to cure overnight... Not to have to rush as it’s beginning to harden.

No, you want the stuff that takes 24 hours to cure...you don't want to be in a rush with this stuff. It is very unforgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsessiveshooter Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 A tip: it can be difficult to get the very thick jb weld to go down smooth. Just get it reasonably smooth, sprinkle a heavy layer of silicon carbide over it all, tip the piece to allow the excess to fall off, and now if you see any ridges or high spots you can lightly press them down. I like to give a light touch to every square inch of what I am doing to ensure that the SC is fully embedded.

echotango Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) I have been using JB Weld 50139 Plastic Bonder. It has worked great and has flex so it does not become brittle. https://www.walmart.com/ip/J-B-Weld-50139-Plastic-Bonder-Body-Panel-Adhesive-and-Gap-Filler-Syringe-Black-25-ml/194555717 Edited February 25, 2020 by echotango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve used a few others and a little bit of flex makes a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valerko Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I used 80 grid sand blasting media from Harbor Freight. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
