amurray Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 What do you use to mate resin pieces to one another? Super glue? 2-part epoxy? Future? Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Epoxy for sure IMHO. I have used CA to good effect on resin, but found it's better to use a quality brand if doing so. I'd still recommend epoxy if you are going for larger parts or a stronger bond. chrish, LSP_K2, amurray and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you clean up the ‘ooze’ - I always get ooze from joins when I use epoxy. Out2gtcha and amurray 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juggernut Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) The epoxy I use cleans up with water. Wipe the excess off with paper towels and clean the surfaces with water and dry with more paper towels before it sets. I use 5-minute epoxy so I work relatively quickly.

Out2gtcha Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I've found 91% alcohol works and so does lacquer thinner. You just have to make sure you wipe it up before it sets at all. amurray, Pete Roberts and Martinnfb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranial Retention Syndrome? Can't Ring Sunday? Corporate Regulatory Stress? Craving Rissoles on Saturday? Corpulent Rotunda Satisfaction? Let me know if I'm close...

Rick Griewski Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I use 30 minute cure epoxy. The quick stuff goes solid fast but stays a bit soft for hours. I smooth out the joints and clean up with 95% alcohol. I prime over the joints etc with a lacquer primer. My Vallejo primer does not bond to the epoxy. CRS: Too much data stored in older brain. My data seems to be on Fortran punch cards. Hard to hall around and slow to load. But it is still in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TankBuster Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Mig ultra white glue would work for small parts and cleans up with water, also very strong when dry. Cheers. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
