The reason your CA glue turned white :
Plhorecent (spelling?) you know those long white light bulbs. affect the curing of the glue. If you just use standard iridecent, the pear shapped bulbs you wont have any problems.
Shane us racers shure could use spellcheck

None of my cars are perfect I admit, but I don't moan about the manufacture for a problem I could have sorted.

Really though...these kids don't know how easy they've got it these days.
Damn...back in my day an R/C car came in a plastic bag and all it was was a block of plastic with some springs. The instructions told you how to whittle the thing into a "remotly operated velocipede" and the tuning guide was called "preambulation precepts!"

Wet sand the edges under water, dry, then apply a thin, fast drying CA with a Q-Tip carefully to the edge. It comes out super smooth and nice looking with no sanding of the glued edge.

I have used slow curing epoxy on some small parts and it worked well. Was a little harder to apply the thick stuff but it turned out nice.

There are a few different companies selling CA with brush on applicators. Krazy Glue has one now and there is one from bondini and you could always use a good nail hardener.
I prefer brush on applicators because it allows me to apply the exact amount needed.

They will also have different ones to be able to fit all the different cells out especially the new 3700's cause they are bigger than the 3300 by a bunch....
Thanks Yokomo good looking out for us.

I have followed instructions....
CA then sandpaper, CA ... but now in some points CA is not on the edge only but has gone a little on the other side (big surface)......
I noticed that the nail polish remover has some kind of oil and other womens' stuff that are good for girls' nail.
I will try to use some pure acetone!
It will take time to make it ready but I like it so much....
