Re: Glue for P2K E unit pilot
I just tried MEK on a P2K E unit and it seemed to make a good bond.

There are a number of ways to prepare the surface -- it depends onwhat
is being bonded, and the condition of the surface. All CA's areaffected
by moisture in the air, or on the surfaces, or by oxides

Light cured glue RE: Re: CEMENT FOR PLASTIC MODELS
Basically, it is the resin used in an SLA printer. I have used the resin in a printer, not as a glue.

Glue for P2K E unit pilot
Dave, have you considered contacting Walthers (who took over the P2K line) to see if it’s possible to get a replacement pilot? If they have them, that would be way better than trying to glue the

Re: 3 new items from Yarmouth Model Works
It never occured to me that the tank car straps came in different
widths. Any suggestions as to how one determines which width to use?
Would it vary with gallonage and/or diameter of the tank?

Hi Dave,
Mike Rose sells a kind of epoxy ("Cypoxy") that is not cheap but apparently creates a strong molecular bond between most materials, and seems particularly good on most plastics, even

Tim is right (this time). I swapped in my thinking the pre-war with the post-war 5/6/6. You can add to Tim's CB&Q numbers; I have a builder's photo of #35000, also with a 5/6/6 IYD. What I haven't

Re: Glue for P2K E unit pilot
Dave,
Which Plastruct did you use? The White Label PS is only good for Styrene,
but the Orange label PS should work on styrene or ABS. (The pink label is
not good for much).

Andy Miller
