I'm wanting to compile a list of all the different types of plastics used for the various panels on the F4.
If you can contibute :nerd: Easiest way to tell is from the stamp in the mold, for recycling reasons I believe. Even if you can just list what is stamped without needing to interpret it. These help in knowing the right plastic for welding them up.
So far I have:
Upper Fairing (#90949) - PC+PBT
Tank Panels:
Right (#90297) - PC+PBT
Left (#90298) - PC+PBT
PC+PBT is known under the tradename XENOY. Plastic welding supplies can sell you this and it welds quite easily, with the right amount of heat.
With any luck they'll all be the same plastic :toothless
Cheers,
Al
