A sticky situation.

Post by DaMadModler »

Hello folks just have a question about glues :think: , what CA glue and accelerator would you recommend? I have used zap and it's accelerator but it left behind white crust :doh: at least on RC tires. Thanks to any and all who may be of assistance and have a most excellent weekend! :cheers2: Clint

ditto on the zap kicker, it works but it stinks and can leave residue
I dont spray it on, i spray a small into a small cup (i use ones for tatto ink) and then dip a toothpick into the liquid then onto the CA, it only takes a couple of dabs and leaves less residue.

If anyone knows of a better kicker id love to hear about it.
Stand aside caffine, this is a job for alcohol.
