photoetch tool?

Post by ridgers22 »

hi guys i noticed a lot of you have a photoetch tool on your benches and was wondering just how they work.

i have a lot of photoetch for my B-17 and was wondering if anyone can make a little video on just how they work and what they do or does anyone know of a video like this? its just that i want to know if its worth getting one before i go spend money

thanks in advance
If its on the bench, It will be finished......soon

If you can give to the end of the week I'll get a ism technique guide done on PE, myself and lee were talking about me doing one a few weeks back. I'll cover the hold and fold tool, pe bending pliers, placing tools and glues :th:

I look forward to the instruction vid too, won an etch bending tool in past week and am now beginning to wonder how I managed to get by without it, even on the limited etch bending I've done so far!

Even standards kits come with etch now so these tools really are becoming mandatory.
