Cracked Front Fender

[KGL]

I have a balsa front fender that is cracked just hanging on the body. What is the best way to repair it. White glue or super glue? Re-sand and paint? After the repair, will it be strong enough to race?

Thanks,
Sam

I crack them all the time and just glue them together.... I usually use epoxy, but I am sure super glue, white, whatever would work.

That gorilla glue is strong- I was impressed!

I like thin ca glue for that type of repair. Last night at our pack's pwd test/tune I fixed 4 or 5 damaged axles slots, some fenders, even a split front end. A little glue and a good clamp and your ready to rock. People were bringing me their cars with this desperate look in their eyes. Once they saw me fix one, they started to line up.

It wasn't the track, it's a smooth 42 foot Best Track. People just didn't have the right tools or didn't know what to do. I saw some Tigers rolling their cars across the floor and into the wall. It was painful for me, but they were doing it right in front of their parents.
