That's funny. I did go back over the hot glue with a soldering iron after the pic. The wife was rushing me so I didn't have time before.
The hot glue I use is gorilla glue brand sticks. So much better than regular hot glue. It actually adheres to plastic very well.
I've never heard of E6000 but I'll check it out. I usually do the drywall tape/shoe goo treatment to basher bodies when they are new and it seems to help, but the shoe goo adds a lot of weight.
I've decided to go ahead and paint the new body I bought years ago but I do intend to run it again today with the slash body. One last run.
