Thank you for replying too. I took your suggestions into account when picking up the materials, but I wanted to ask about the epoxy putty. When you say it's too expensive, is that because I don't need to get 1lb of it right now, or because of the brand?
Should I get this Tamiya brand putty instead: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BMTGX4?ref=exp\_leonasworkshop\_dp\_vv\_d
