Default What should I use to stick CF plates?

Hi everybody,

I would like to stick small CF plates on a CF chassis, the issue being that the small one will be at 90°, not "flat" with the chassis.

That's in fact to "surround" a CF chassis and allow the bodyshell to be fixed by velcro on these small CF plates all around the chassis.

Any idea what kind of glue would d the job?

clean the CF well and a good CA glue is gonna hold. If CA won't hold it nothing will. CA STICKS to CF!

No glue, even the correct carbon fiber resin, will hold in that situation. Your best bet is to get some of this:

Then trim it down and bolt it to the chassis. This way there is some surface area to work with. You could also bond the pieces to the chassis, but if one were to break, then you're in for more work to get it off. Anyway the best bonding agent for carbon fiber(that can be had easily) is JB Weld. It's actually pretty great stuff, just make sure to slightly rough up the parts first.
