having just read the above posts regarding adhesives then a great supplier of adhesives to industry and the industrial modelmakiing community is a business called adhesive brokers in Bucks

www.adhesivebrokers.co.uk

please may i make it known i have no interest in this business but my recommendation comes from excellent service, knowledgable advice and brilliant products now for over 10 years from this company- so if you need to source any type of resin, adhesive, solvent or activator then try this business if you are stuck.....

also regarding the posting earlier when using bath sealant be aware that using this product around printed circuit boards ( PCB) is not advisable, the vapour that can be reased during the curing process especially in a confined space can damage components and the electrical tracks on a PCB and the electronics may suffer as a result - so if using this material remove your radio gear first until the silicon is fully cured, then reinstall radio equipment !

also a tip for simulating welds on models try thixotropic cyano gel ( this can be obtained from the above supplier) trim of only a tiny bit of the tube nozzle and then squeeze a fine bead onto the model, ( like piping icing onto a cake) this gel has the consistency of toothpaste and if done carefully a very fine bead can be applied to simulate welds, once happy with the bead spray with a fine mist of activator, this bead will cure and set hard in a short time and is then ready for painting,

this was used to good effect on a fishing trawler and the research sub i built , especially good for larger scale models and its very hard wearing and realistic- ideal for tanks and landing craft and similar.... !
