One thing I like to do is save the nubs when I cut out pieces. For a single divot or other imperfection, you can just liberally apply Mr. Hobby SP or Tamiya cement to the spot, then use tweezers to push a nub into the spot to fill it. Then, after it dries, you can come back at it and cut, file, sand, and buff. Most of the time, you won't be able to tell there was ever a problem. It works off the same principle as what's shown in the video while overall using less cement. No need to really make this plastic soup unless you're fixing a large area or doing seamline removal and don't plan on painting.

@davidfitzsimmons24514 жыл бұрын
DO NOT USE cement that is not extra thin. In fact that Tamiya is not even the best one, but a Mr.Hobby Extra Thin is 100% solvent with 0% filler. See in order to add some thickness and viscosity to the solvent, companies add varying amounts of plastic resin into the mix. This additional plastic material can actually result in slight discoloring of the plastic you melt in it. It's fine if you are painting anyway, but then you don't even need to do this anyway, just get normal plastic cement and paint over. Last I checked only that mr.hobby has a pure solvent, most others add a small percentage of plastic, but it's also been a long time since I looked into them so may be wrong.
@GeorgeHale19844 жыл бұрын
Thin cement (tamiya thin, tamiya extra thin, Mr Cement S, Mr Cement SP) all are designed to offgas and dry very fast making this especially difficult. I would stick with a standard cement. Tamiya Cement (the basic type shown in the video) is especially good for this because it's highly available and very cheap, as well as its viscosity is well suited to this. Mr Cement Deluxe is quite good at doing this without the runner putty, just outright welding the two parts together without all the madness of waiting hours for cement to melt plastic bits, wasting all the extra, and wasting the glass bottle that is prohibitively difficult to clean.
@davidfitzsimmons24514 жыл бұрын
@@GeorgeHale1984 the point of makjing runner putty is a very niche and specific situations. it's for cases where you need to fill in some pretty big holes or gaps that normal cement would not help with and requires a thicker putty cement. By making the putty yourself out of runners it allows you to color match the model if you do not plan on painting. So, only for big holes/gaps and only if you have no plans to paint a model, it's not a use for everything tip, it's a seldom used but VERY useful when needed tip. I have used it once in a while and when I do need to, it's a god send. It's also great to used in cases of needing to reinforce and drill new holes for pinning a broken peg joint.

It helps to assemble the kit before making any modifications. If not the whole kit, try sub-assemblies like the arms and legs. It’s easier to see what needs to be done on an assembled piece. Once assembled, make notes. This will help identify the order of operations for modifications and primer/painting. On HG kits this will usually require a lot of work (masking) due to minimal part separation. It's definitely a process but gets more streamlined the more kits you do. It's very seldom we continue to make the same mistake continually...hopefully 😀. Happy building!

As someone familiar with the method, I would assume it would harden up within a week or two. Unless of course you had it stored in an air sealed container, the cement is just going to evaporate leaving behind the hard plastic. This is something that is just easier for me to mix up as I need it. Personally I don't mix up a slurry but instead shave off long slices of the sprue and apply just enough cement for it to get mushy. Apply it to surfaces that also had cement applied and it works well enough once you smoosh it down.

if i decide to fix using cement and sanding afterwards, do i have to paint the part to make all the sides look even as i wont be sanding all 4 sides of the arm. or is a top coat sufficent enough to make the part look even? im fine with seams but nub marks really bothers me as they're usually white in color. im just starting out and im only planing to give my model a wash and matt top coat.

If you are bothered by nub marks cut 1-2mm away from the part and sand down the nub, finishing with a very fine abrasive usualy leaves little to no mark, if there is a slight mark put some thin cement over the top and that will most likely fix it.

Matte top coat will be fine as long as you sanded the seams down nice and smooth. Matte is amazing for that, heck even if you painted some parts and left others bare, matte makes it impossible to tell what was and wasn't paint.

Terry Forsdyke what kind of sand paper should I use to rub it down with?
@terryforsdyke3063 жыл бұрын
@@green2376-s7b sorry, only just noticed this, the type of abrasive does not matter much, but if you are polishing anything, 1,000+ grit should be fine enough that you do not notice the difference, sometimes on clear parts, or if you are polishing a metalic or transparrent paint you may want to go higher maybe 4,000, I usually use sanding sponges, something around 250 to remove the material, then something around 600 to remove out most of the marks, then wet sand at about 1,000 will usually completely get rid of the marks and blend it into the base plastic, although on lighter coloured plastics after removing the part from the sprue a flush cut with a fine-bladed, single edge nipper will not leave any visible nub.

Does the molten pla harden up later while in the bottle? How long can we keep it?
@abelabner4 жыл бұрын
I'm pretty sure as long as air tight you could store, I say this because I use the same method with ABS plastic and Methyl Ethyl Ketone ( it does the same thing). You have to prevent the evaporation of the solvent i.e. cement or MEK If it ends up hardening just add more solvent and it will melt again, boom.

I bought a nail polish block at a beauty supply store(like Sally or Ulta), which does a pretty good job.
You can use a standard fingernail polish box. They can be picked up at any Target, Wal-Mart, or beauty supply store for between $1-3. I never

You can also use “testors” plastic cement, it’s a fraction of the cost of TAMIYA

If you are a person that wants perfection. PLEASE DONT SAND LIKE THIS !!!! SANDING QUICKLY DOES NOT MEAN CORRECTLY. You can see how his incorrect sanding made the edges of the piece not as sharp as the beginning, consider 1:35 and 7:13, spot the difference on details of the bottom edge and the left and right edges!!!! His method of removing dents and seam lines are good, but when u sand like him to your kit, it makes your sharp looking kit very BLUNT and without edges, as he sanded ALL THE DETAILS OFF, everything becomes ROUND. However if u like this effect then u can do this, but if u like very SHARP looking kits, then DONT do this. Find proper sanding tutorials and advance ur skills :) From an experienced builder
