I am working on the monogram A-26 .I purchased the Eduard PE set for it.The bomb bay set has replacement walls that require installation of the ribs on the walls.I usually apply the medium glue with a toothpick on things like boxes and sand off the excess on corners to fill gaps.On flat items,I use a micro brush and thin CA.Here’s the problem.The ribs butt against the walls in a groove in the stringer detail of the wall.I’m affraid that if I use the micro brush and thin,I may get glue puddling in the stringer detail,but if I use the mediun CA I may get a glue showing up at the seam.This would be an almost impossible area to sand away any mistakes.Does anyone know of a way to apply the glue in a much more controlled manner.The PE set are beautiful and I don’t want to screw them up.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
When I apply CA to my PE parts, I always use the thin stuff.
If it flows into areas of fine detail, I quickly get some paper towel, twist the end into a fine point, and use it to wick away the excess.
I never let it settle for more than a few seconds.
Hope this helps!
Thanks Tweety1,I’ll give it a shot.I’m just affraid of screwing up such great detail.
One thing you might try:
Take a regular sewing needle and cut the EYE in half to make a tiny fork that will look some thing like this: >---------------- then you can pick up a tiny drop of CA and when applied to the joint it should “wick” right in.
