Lexan Body Repair
Hi all. Long time lurker, just started posting recently.
I've raced modern 1/24 cars for about 4 years now and I am just getting into the vintage scene. I've picked up a few cars that have lexan bodies that are for the most part intact, with maybe one of two small (less than 1/4") tears in them. What are the popular methods for making a repair? For my regular race cars, I'd use a nylon packing tape, but considering that these bodies are 40 years old with 40 year old paint, I'm curious if there's a better way to fix the tears.
I did a seach on the topic and didn't see anything posted already, but if I missed something existing I'm sorry for the exta post.
Thanks ahead of time for any ideas.
