Default How to fix the blue foam core fuselage look.

OK so I damaged my super scorpion fuselage floor on hard horses and the fiberglass got separate from the foam cor and make all soft so after some experiment on carf left over section I found the best way to make it hard again .so get flex super thin ca glue make sure is the flex ca not just regular thin ca it will hard to fast the process need time .fill insulin syringe and start injecting the ca to the foam where soft wait about 1-2 hours .You going to be amazed.

Great Tip Sebastian. Bet this process would also work on weak balsa areas as well.
