Interior PE Sets

Post by GMahaffey »

As a consolation of a near uncompletable kit, I purchased another kit. For this kit I got the aftermarket interior PE set from Eduard. What techniques would you guys suggest in using the PE set. Primarily for the instrument panel as they are a two piece process with two layers of PE.

If it’s the coloured stuff with sticky backs then just peel and place.

If it’s bare PE then use a gel based CA glue. Apply sparingly so as to avoid seepage. If you don’t want to use CA then you could use PVA or white glue, again use it sparingly.
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:

what you said, but for pe brackets an similar items I go with rubberised Ca....it's tougher, stronger and less brittle.
Listen and appear wise
