Well tonight I bagan my first attempt at using PE. Just added the grilles to the Tiger I
and it looks great. My ? however is glueing PE to plastic is no prob with the super glue BUT what about sticking PE to PE will super glue be ok or is there a preffered method?[:D]
I use CA (super Glue) to glue anything related with PE. PE to PE should work good with CA, but you might want to get a second oppinion. Hope it helps!
Yep,
Use CA for PE to plastic, PE to PE, PE to resin, or resin to plastic.
There are some people who use low-temp soldering techniques to attach PE to PE, but I don’t think I’ll ever get to that point.
You forgot PE to finger, PE to head, finger to head…
Or in my case PE to lips (I was blowing the part dry and I got just a little too close!)
[(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D] Now thats a new one, I have tried PE to fingers and elbows, but not PE to lips. I can feel the hard crust on my lips now, must have been annoying.
Gee, I can’t wait until the Aber set for my Sherman arrives now…

Rolling On The Floor over that one, Thanks!
Just think of the visual of clinics across the world on August 8, Tiger turrets stuck to hapless modeler’s faces.
Were you trying to dry it or kiss it goodnight?[:p]
[(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D] you are killing me ausf. oh my god.
Maybe you are right. Mad Tiger Day could turn into a carnage, absolute modeling mayhem.
You guys are too funny!
Most of the time, I find I ca my fingers together and leave the part just sitting dry!!
Danget! Just CAed some static flock grass on my fingers!!![V] Now the doctors going to think I have some weird fungus growing on my hands![:D]
Ca is my choice for small parts definatly , if a stronger PE to PE bond is needed , as on fenders etc I go with solder , it takes a bit of practice , but once you master it you won’t go back to CA . I just find CA glue kinda makes a mess that is hard to fix at times , nothing worse than CA fingerprints on your hard work .[B)]
CA works good just remember to lightly sand the parts so the CA gets a better grip.
For larger parts soldering is the way to go. You ned some low temp solder and a low temp soldering iron (pencil type). Practice on empty parts frets. It is not too hard, just remember that the solder will flow to the heat, not away.
