Best Glues for Restoring Old Model Collection?
Posted: Sun Jun 02, 2019 1:12 pm
Tamiya glues are fine for new builds, however I’m not finding them adequate to restore old models that have been damaged. I’m looking for two types of adhesives. I’M WILLING TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX and even use commercial putties or caulking material used for home repair.
Note: I rinse my models to keep them clean so these would have to be waterproof.
1) LARGE COMPONENT ADHEVSVIE for gluing things like superstructures to ships or wings to airplanes. Forms strong waterproof bond (on top of old dried out glue) with some give or flexibility to withstand sheer or shock from handling or a drop -preferably easy to apply (not too gunky) or too expensive.
2) FINE COMPONENT ADHEVSVIE for gluing things like broken antennae or machine gun barrels. Forms strong waterproof bond with some give or flexibility so it won’t break at the slightest contact -preferably easy to apply (not too gunky) or too expensive.
Thanks Ahead of Time for your consideration.
