Solidifying a part

Post by Garion77 »

Hello everyone,
while dry-fitting parts (yes on my WnW Pfalz), one of them bended a bit when I removed it. I did not brake but seems rather fragile now... Anyone knows a way of making more solid around the area it bended to make sure it doesn't brake next time ?
I thought CA glue may be of medium type...

Thanks in advance !
Francis

Get it straight or back into the shape it should be. Give it a couple coats of Tamiya ET after a few hours it should be as good as new.

Failing that use some sprue glue :th:

Sometimes scratch building a replacement is a better option particularly with straight rods and the like.
Listen and appear wise

Some TET always does the job for me.
