super thin plastic card?

[PhilB]

I had to use 0.005" card to define an engine hatch cover on a 1/24 SHAR.

Very thin Ca is your friend as it doesn't melt the plastic.

You mean you haven't tried it yet?

 

No, and I'd really rather not.

For the record, Tamya have a product called Pla-paper available 0.05mm and up.

I haven't had call to use it yet, but have tested it and it sticks with liquid cement and cyano.

Thanks. I just ordered some now to give a try.

By the way you can use paper as plastic sheets or strips. Just drop some very thin CA glue on it and the properties will become very similar.

Interesting. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

FYI, I also ordered the Tamiya pla plate super thin plastic (1.2mm/.05",  .5mm/.02", .3mm/.01" thick) and will update this thread once I get my hands on it.
