Short Track and NASCAR modeling

I don't remember the thread you are talking about, but you can get two part epoxy glue in various set times. I have seen a 1 hour version, I believe it was Smith's that had it

  Cannot find a post here that I made, probably late '25,  asking how y'all join balsa and plastic. 

Five minute,  2 part epoxy was mentioned along with something else, that I cannot remember. 

I have built a 12 x12 balsa framework carport cover, for a diorama, and  have sheathed it with thin bass wood, and now I want to cover that with ribbed Evergreen plastic sheet.    That's a pretty big area to try to work with in 5 minutes. 

Any help would be appreciated in recovery of that post. 

Here are the scissors I bought to cut the serrated strips to get them narrow enough to fit between the center strip of the tire and the outside edge of the tire. they are very hard and also adjustable for a tight cut of the plastic strips

Started adding the pinking sheared styrene strips to emulate the tread the real car had. Not exactly the same but it has that z shaped look to it. Will need to clean it up a bit with Mr. white putty.
