Black Knight Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I need to do two similar but different glue-ing on jobs I could do with suggestions of which adhesives to use 1. I want to put a skin of 'plank' marked plastic card over some plastic kit walls of brick. Each wall is about 35mm x 50mm The 'plank' card is of reasonable thickness. Would plastic tube glue do or should I use a contact adhesive? 2. I need to put a 10thou plastic card skin on the bottom side of the wings of some 1/48 WW1 types. The size is about 35mm x 195mm. I think any of my usual plastic glues will not do, they'll be drying afore I get the piece in place. Contact adhesive again? ideas and suggestions?

stevehnz Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 What about tube glue, as in starter set glue? It is maybe less likely to dry before you get the whole area covered than a liquid glue I feel. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I'd be looking at contact adhesive, with the usual caveat of doing a trial run first. Selley's make a water based contact adhesive that may work, or you could maybe use one of the craft spray adhesives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busnproplinerfan Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Cement(testors)would likely be to hot a glue for the 10 thou. sheet. The thicker sheet should be ok just spread it out smoothly. 5 min. Epoxy might work. Scuff the parts first so the glue will bite into. Never tried contact cements but it should work to. Most plastic sheet I cut new parts from, I always scuff up the sheet first before cutting anything as prep for paint and glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
