resin parts

Im old to modeling, but new to detail parts.
What type of adhesive do you use on resin parts?
In the same vane, what do you use on photo etched parts?
i want to know a few things before I trash some expensive
add on parts.

CA glue works well for both of them. A little goes a long way

I prefer to use CA adhesive but epoxy can also be used.

The above is true but consider using an accelerator for PE parts. I use the thicker CA glue and position my part. A squirt of accelerator and the job is done.

Super Glue will work with both. Be careful and work slowly, resin parts break easily.
If you have to sand resin parts, wear a dust mask to prevent breathing toxic particles.

Nothing new to add here except don’t glue yourself to the kit by mistake :slight_smile:

One more tip, use clear epoxy for clear parts. Superglue (CA) will craze them.

Do you have to clean resin or metal parts before using them?
