Wodaz Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) I have PVC shims for kidney plate but what would I use to fill seam where the shim and kidney plate meet? Edited May 25, 2017 by Wodaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Is it an RS kit? If so, you should contact them, give them the dimensions of the sizes you need and see if they can send you some. http://www.rspropmasters.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wodaz Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Maybe I phrased that wrong , have the shims, I mean like ABS paste, what would you use for PVC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wodaz Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 I guess I can use Devcon and paint it just wanted to know if there were any other options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 I believe acetone doesn't work at meting PVC like it does for ABS so I am keen to learn how the experts on here do it. You are not allowed to have shims with visible joints so they must be blended in if you want to achieve certain levels. Looking forward to learning how to do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Looks like TetraHydroFluran is the solvent for PVC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahydrofuran It seems to be available from specialist suppliers though I've no idea what else it's used for (i.e. will you be put on a watch list) or how safe this stuff is. Datasheet is here : http://www.chemicals.co.uk/uploads/documents/TETRAHYDROFURAN-LRG-MSDS.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wodaz Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Well after some deep deep digging with google and this site I managed to run across this old post http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/27579-pvc-pasteis-it-possible/ Looks like I'll give this a try on some scrap and see how it looks. Only question I still have is, Do you think PVC will polish up the same as ABS with Novus? I'm doing research on this too, but no definitive answers just wondering what any RS PVC kit owners use.

troopermaster Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Surely someone with PVC kit has had to go to the extra trouble of blending their shims in before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
