<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Andy, I wasn't expecting you to travel to BR especially for a bit of plastic rod
, I thought you and Dave may be going back that way to visit the RC shop again. If you want I will pick you up some next time I visit my local HS.

LOL,
Sorry Keith, just my sense of humour coming out. It's the sort of thing I would have done years ago. Just jump in the car, travel 10,000miles just to buy something that cost 1p, only to find, that if I looked over my left shoulder, I would have been able to buy it from the building next door.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Very interesting -I can find it easily on the modelling sites but none of them give any information on its composition. Looking further it must be Pultruded Carbon Fibre Rod which is basically carbon fibre strands and resin, in which case it should be easy to stick with CA or definitely 2 part epoxy - maybe it had some release agent on it? Either way I'm going to get some and give it a try as an alternative to styrene.
I'll try that next, give it a good clean with nail polish remover.
