What is everyone's preferred method (if any) of reinforcing a body to be bashed?
The old "tried and true" is Shoe Goo and drywall tape (grid type). However, I did a long, well documented test a few years ago that gave a slight edge to Shoe Goo and drywall tape topped with a coat of underbody coating. It did, however, make for a freaking HEAVY body! Ultimately, what I found in my test that I think was the most beneficial is that several of the "top" favorite methods of body protection are so close to each other that you might as well go with the cheapest and easiest. In my case, I believe that to be a single layer of Gorilla Tape (or other good quality duct tape). It goes on quick and does a great job of stopping damage.
