I rate this stuff. Kemdent works out pretty cheap or you can by the same stuff repackaged under the name of Plastex for about 10 times the price. Same sort of principle. Liquid and a powder.

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

I didn't realize it was that long ago !!!!

My repaired faring is still holding up and has fell over a few times, plus a trip down the road at mallory (some of you guys may remember that session).

Superglue and bicarb seems popular with small scale modellers as a strong filler!

Freeridenick, I work on Tanera Mor, up past Ullapool, a looong way north! Im only back every few weeks, drop me a line next time youre up this way in Hawick.
Theres a race day not that far from here, east fortune, the meeting of the year is the Bob mackintyre memorial meeting, rammed with historic exotica and european racers, worth a look if youre in the area when its on.
