Dermo245 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Hey everyone, Sorry if this has been answered before and I couldn't find anything on the manufacturers website... I have an Eduard Zoom set with pre-painted etch and the black plastic film that goes behind the etch pieces. How do I attach these to a plastic kit cockpit? I know you use Super/CA for the etch but won't that melt the film bit of the 'sandwich'? Thanks in advance, Dermot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I usually use a drop of Klear to attach the PE to the acetate film, adding a tiny drop to each instrument face when it's dry. Then CA to attach that to the backing. The Klear gives the instrument faces a nice shine too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsPhil Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 CA shouldn't melt the film, it might cloud it though. I use either gloss varnish, Klear or otherwise, or PVA glue or one of the other clear drying modelling glues, which I'm sure are just PVA in a small tub for twice the price of a large bottle....

CedB Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Sten from IPMS Sweden suggested the gloss varnish method to me here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I too go with the gloss varnish for acetate to etch, but I put a drop of Humbrol Clearfix over the instrument faces to make a clear cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
