Never Use Super Glue on a Finished Model

A quick video to show why you should never try and fit final details (like works and number plates) to an almost finished model, and especially not an expensive ready to run model.

You should never use Gorilla Glue period... These brands are literally the factory floor sweepings. ZAP is my preffered brand supplied in Thick, Medium & Thin variants with a KICKER that either you can spray on to get an instant bond or better still spray KICKER on one part then offer it to the a glued second part, instant bond. If you apply Cyanoacrylates with a pin it's fine, you don't need a lot to make a decent bond, just clean and grease free.

Interesting.I have previously used Zap (I want to say green, but I can't remember how thick that was) but ended up switching to gorilla glue when I couldn't get it for some reason. I've not had any problems specifically with it (I always decant a tiny amount and then use a pin or thin wire to move it to where I need it), but I might try looking for Zap and their kicker next time I restock and giving it another try. I do really like the Gorilla Glue wood glue though, it seems to work really well.

acetone will dissolve super glue......keep brushing some on and it will gradually soften up

Thanks, I'll give that a try and see what happens. Annoyingly it's been so long since I messed it up that I can't remember what I tried the first time around, but I don't think I used acetone so certainly worth a go.
