What solvents are given off as it cures and what will they effect in or on the drone, if anything. (I can never work out if its effect or affect)

Don’t think it matters if it’s effect or affect, you still don’t want anything effecting the integrity of the drone shell

Just Googled the stuff, no I wouldn’t even consider using it to skin a drone for numerous reasons. ?

+1 on the concern about affecting the shell plastic. It's quite thin so wouldn't take too much of the wrong solvent to melt holes in it. The shell is likely ABS, which is relatively durable against common solvents.

ps "affect" is the word. Effect is for: "effective special effects"

Affect is a verb. “Solvents may affect shell integrity.” Effect is a noun. “The solvent had an adverse effect on the shell’s integrity.”

 

[scro]

Just to confuse everyone, effect can be a verb too: "Solvents may effect an unwanted effect that affects the plastic" ?

But in general:
affect is what you do to something
effect is something you see

I would just stick with a skin that you can put on, there are so many of them and if you want to go all black you can. I only use liquid electrical tape on my freestyle drones because there is no case of any kind and I still use it very sparingly.

Is Fogg a Brit? If so, do something about the stupid rules of Engish? I before E except after C - uh huh except forfeit!!!!

And as for VERB: "A person with flat affect shows no facial expressions."

On with flying....

....... never figured out why you drive on a parkway, and park on a driveway.

Oh well!

We never know what affect a comment can have. But a well placed remark can yield the desired effect. ?

Weird that, ain't it? Sort of colours the whole thread. lol
I seem to remember Donald Sinden or maybe Windsor Davies or maybe the pair of them doing a piece comparing Brit vs American. It alway tickled me.
Almost as good as The Two Ronnies "four candles" or was it "Fork Handles"

The rules for English are:

• For every rule there's an exception
• For every exception there's a rule

I'm sure it would up the weight above the registration point - if that matters to you.

Coincidentally I wanted to glue some thin foam to the inside surface of a wrap-around-the-M2P-controller phone holder. As I didn't want glue near the controller's 'glass' I used a dead mini controller (bought as a scrapper for parts) as a mould. The glue did not touch the controller but I am left with the two 'white' shiny patches evident in the attached. The glue was a "blow your head off" impact adhesive
