Thanks all for your replies. Could I ask some kind soul to give very very simple step by step instruction as to what I need to do to replace the broken section of track? I've absolutely no experience with this kind of thing so if you could give me instructions as you would to a child, that would be great.

That doesn't necessarily make this a bad idea, the basics are the same. But it depends on what is in the kit really. I'd ring Superspars up if thats a road you want to go down.

And if it is a Superspar mast, changing the track for a Selden will surely put the mast out of class?


no its not its a super spar but the track will still fit and you need plexus very easy job

In typical conditions 15-20° you can probably get 5-10mins from a thorough mix to it starting to go claggy.

Two screwdrivers certainly works or a couple of bits of dowling!

Craiggo,
How long do you get with the 310 before it starts to go claggy?
The 300 is less than 5 mins in the warm, quite a bit longer in the cold.
 
I have never tried squeezing out a 50ml cartridge without the gun, 2 screwdrivers?

We use MA310 on a daily basis, and very rarely use the nozzles. We tend to use the guns but only because they are to hand.

Craiggo is right, we use a lot of MA300 in 400ml cartridges and for small bits it just gets pumped onto a board and mixed the old fashioned way, the 300 is not that sensitive to mixing but the 2 components are almost the same colour.
However,
The real advantage of the gun is that you can fit a mixing nozzle and lay a bead well within the open time of the adhesive, if you have a couple of feet of track to do I would be concerned about getting it mixed and applied in time.
The Plexus Methacrylates are quite thixo and although the 310 has a longer open time it will skin well before it stiffens thus reducing the wetted bond.
 
Can't you borrow a gun?

You do need the gun really. It's a sensitive mix and much, much easier to apply if you have got the gun.

You dont need the mixing gun. Its a 50:50 mix. Just squeeze out a blob onto a little mixing board and use a lollipop stick to thoroughly mix then apply.
