It's a great trick for extending the life of your lid... and it actually works great!

I use the same method for years now.. Before the drywall tape, I use to use staples..

Same method for me too. Works great! Nice pictures/guide as well =)

i just use shoe goo, and i do it before i even run the body it works well

Interesting, I have a whole roll of that dry-wall tape (plasterboard tape to us Brits) in my tool box for some reason; might actually have use for it given the state of my old gmaxx beater shell...

Ben doing the hole gimmick for 20+years in the autobody industry, Shoe-Goo is a life saver also !

I like to reinforce my bodys around the body post holes with another layer of lexan and Shoe-Goo and let it dry a 3-5 days prior to running the new body. Helps them last a Looooong time.

I'm doing this now with gorilla glue epoxy and I'm looking forward to the out come. The drywall tape doesn't ad hear well to I had to use some CA to hold it up while I applied some gorilla glue epoxy on it.

If you use a lot, it's best to let it cure as long possible,several days somtimes.

Every different application may have a diiferent cure time, no way is the wrong way.
