Well,

I just tried a splotch of rub n buff on some scrap shin plastic.  It seems to work fine.....granted I haven't put it to practical use yet.


I think the shin plastic will work.  It is even close in color to the spike.  I'm heating up the spike right now in the oven ;)  I'll put the spike and the holder together and mold one solid piece.  I can screw through the fiberglass toe guard and into the spike holder with two screws.  I tried a scrap piece of the plastic with some screws and it takes a lot of work to pull the screw out.  I even heated up a piece in the microwave first to soften it and it was still really hard to pull the screw out.  I think with some epoxy along with the screw, they should be really tough.  That plastic is flexible enough it won't fracture like resin.....I'll know more in a couple days after going through the triple molding process. ;)
