Has anyone tried to use any of that ultraviolet liquid plastic glue to repair chassis parts? I'm not talking about a arms. I'm talking something like the X braces between shocks or maybe wheelie bar braces? Just curious wanted to see if anyone had any experience with it before I tried it
 
It's not strong enough for something like that. It only solidifies where the light can actually make contact, so any pieces held flush together would not secure on their contacting surface, only on the outside of it.
Epoxy, preferably the 30 minute mix is your best bet. You might even want to drill a hole in the two parts and put a pin or piece of paper clip in there to add additional support to the bond.
 
I thought it was too good to be true. Thanks Rolex
