Hiya Boots, I use Plasticweld for my builds now, it's dichloromethane not MEk but they both do similar things. I use an old, small paint brush to apply it. It needs to be natural hair as the strong solvent will melt most synthetic fibers. Technique is to hold parts together in position and then touch the liquid to the join, capillary action will pull the solvent into the gap... Hey presto! Joined! Give it a go.. I'm a true convert |

Hey Boots!! With Dicky on this...MEK. Hardware stores or Home Centers (yeah, not sure if you have any of the where you are). For a couple of few quid here I can get a pint or so. Refill the TETC bottles and it lasts for ever! They have what they call "a substitute to M.E.K."......just as good! |
