We often see pictures of line of nicely fixed p.e. to models and these sets are very popular. I have never really liked p.e. and now avoid such sets but nevertheless I still have to use it as many kits have some p.e. included.
I am always having trouble gluing it...
From what I have read c.a., superglue is the most commonly used agent used to fix p.e. to plastic.
But why does it often not stick?
I have a p.e. band to fix around my Dragon 1/32 Bf109. I tried two bottles (newish) of c.a. and neither worked.
The plastic was cleaned of grease, I started at one end and tried working around the part but it would not stick!
Now this fuel tank does not matter as I have decided not to use it for various reasons but I have some kits in the stash where it will be important to stick p.e. with c.a. so what is the secret?
