Great tips Brother Dennis 🤗. There's little question Shoe Goo becomes one with body 💪. Although tedious and harsh on the eyes, it's still the best way to strengthen a shell and greatly extend it's useful life. Much lighter and more effective than Gorilla tape and worth the extra effort. The glue gun is another great tool in the arsenal. Thanks so for another solid vid Brother. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

I’ve found a easy quicker way. Full can of ute ( truck) bed or tray armour. Way quicker neater do several layers let dry or low heat gun between coats . Can get it as thick or thin as you want . Definitely would go head to head with shoe goo drywall and the Russian bodies for strength and looks so much neater all black .

You will most likely be fine, spray a spare scrap of lexan with the same paint you used, the same amount of layers, then test shoe goo it, guy in these comments here somewhere said he Shoe Goo his custom painted bodies all the time. I would think putting an extra Coating of primer over what you painted to protect from any chances of issues with shoe goo would be best. But like I mentioned, if you have any scrap, test spray it, let it dry and try shoe goo and dry wall tape like I did. The biggest thing is don't let that heat gun rest on the body, don't glob it on or too thick in corners (glue gun) because the glue and the gun itself is hot.

How do you deal with all the dirt and grime that gets stuck underneath your body that adheres to the drywall tape and glue?

Appreciate you watching brother and for the feedback. To each his own. I have used Gorilla Tape and heat gun to bind it better and its still not close to as durable. Even just one tube @ $7 and one layer of tape is enough to go once over and double in a few spots on a 1/8th Scale... I can knock out a 1/8 scale in like 1 hour. This technique really fuses to and becomes one with the body, where as tape just holds it together as it cracks, Shoe Goo actually makes it harder to even crack. But if tape is working for you bro it's good, rock on, I used it for a while too... But maybe try this once and see? . There is a reason why a good percentage of the Bashers are moving to this.

Thanks for your time, Depends on the body, if it's a 1/5th scale and want to go nuts like I did, 3+ big tubes, but you can easily do 2 Fantastic layers with one big tube on an 8th Scale. You can Tecnically do quite well on an 1/5th scale Outcast body with two tubes, even one will help. But I send my rigs over 120ft often so new bodies get annoying and this has worked for me. But I get it, at Walmart they are $7 for me, so I get they are more expensive in other places... But I think One Tube/Layer is better than the tape method. Appreciate your feedback! Thanks for your time buddy. Stay safe my man

How about paint (up to 3 colors per body!)masking the body for a design!,stickers!All the time! 25$ in shoe goo. NO PROBLEM 🤨 Not great at math, but think it comes to more than 15$ . You need to find a new place to buy your shoe goo. I live in Manhattan and I pay 8$ and change!
