Status: offline 		That stuff sounds great! Is that carried in most local RC stores? Or can it be had in any hardware store such as Lowes, Home Depot, or even the hardware of WalMart?

Also, how easy is it to work with and sculpt? What are the curing times? Should the surface that it is going to be applied to be made ough or will it adhere to any surface no matter how smooth?

I am an absolute noob to this and am trying to learn as much as possible.

Status: offline 		With terrible disappointment, the $20 camera sucks and the pic turned out to be horrible. See the pics below. The pics are too blurry, but I hope you guys can see the sculpting I did. Other than the shine, the polishing job is virtually not visible. I'm going to try to acquire a better camera and attempt to post some better pics. Sorry guys.

Status: offline 		Thanks! Its the camera, it just sucks really bad. I tried to take more pics, and all of them came out red-shifted (the orangish color). The other pics of different angles were so blurry, you literally would not recognize the part as a crankshaft. The above pic is the best that stupid thing produced.

Status: offline 		Bump: I am still trying to master the techniques in the article posted in this thread. I feel I am getting a little better after practicing now on three worn out K4.6 sleeves. I still feel that I have much more to master befoe I will attempt to try this on a brand new sleeve.

Status: offline 		savagejim, this stuff is used at a 2 stroke motor performance shop where i live. the best cure time is 3 days and when i put it in the area of the crank is left untouched not polished or smoothed. it is somewhat thin and is a little tricky the first few times if you havnt done it before, i will try and get the adess next time i am there.

Status: offline 		Thanks,now that I have esentialy tunrd this crank into a practice piece in modding, whenever I can get some of this epoxy, I will practice applying it and sculpting it. If I dont like the results, I will dremmel it out and try again until I can get the technique down. This I hope will be not so difficult to learn and eventually master.
