Back to Wheels
Hi Folks,
I’m a bit behind the power curve on building, but I have been giving some thought to the wheels, the fillet filler on the Tee Rings to be more precise.
The instructions state car filler and I see some have used JB Weld; however, on the YouTube clip for STW I noticed Steve Trail using Pinkgrip, which seemed a good method of application via a sealant gun. Whilst at B&Q looking for metal filler I spotted some Evo-Stick Liquid Metal, which is sold as an adhesive. Does anyone have any experience of this, and would it be a suitable material to use?
The bench mark has been set by some very fine examples and any advice would be welcomed.

Hi Tim,
I used Plastic Padding Chemical Metal, which went on well and has created a good finish. I have not yet finished the build so do not know if it will stand the test of time and use.

Re: Back to Wheels
On the first wheel I used flexible body filler but found this cracked off when the rivets were hit home. After that I used J B Weld and didn't have the same problem again.
