A newspaper edition published at the weekend.

How do you fix photo etched parts?

‘ Most modellers will use superglue/cyano adhesive. Where there is a large surface area to be joined a good method is to hold the parts together and then place a drop of thin superglue on the edge which will be drawn in between the two parts by capillary action and will set almost immediately.

How do you glue photo etched parts together?

Super glue is the traditional method for attaching PE parts. I use this method too, but first I like to tack them down a bit. Regular liquid cement can be used for this on styrene. Apply enough liquid cement to soften up the surface, then just push the PE part into place with light pressure.
