Question about glue not in FAQ
I am trying to glue chrome trim on a 59 impala, that is already painted and Im trying to figure out what kind of glue to use. I know the cheap testors wont work (found that out this morning) and I also have the super glue type, but I noticed that the super glue fogs paint also. What do you guys do about this? Thanks for the help, and Happy Easter.

Re: Question about glue not in FAQ
Use a water based glue like Krystal Klear to glue all your clear parts and anything that goes on the body. If you mess up you just wash off with water.

Re: Question about glue not in FAQ
Thanks, where can I find the stuff, when I asked about it at my LHS, the guy told me to use the Testors glue, but the Krystal Klear is different, right?

Re: Question about glue not in FAQ
Most hobby shops have it, it is made by Microscale the same company that makes Micro Set and Micro Set decal setting solution.
It's in a small white bottle, the glue is white but dries clear. You could actually use Elmer's glue if you can't find Krystal Klear.

Re: Question about glue not in FAQ
So is the stuff pretty strong? do you have to remove paint and plating from glue areas?
Thanks for the help

Re: Question about glue not in FAQ
I don't know if KK is stronger than Elmer's but it's plenty strong.
You don't have to scrape away the paint.

Re: Question about glue not in FAQ
I find that scraping the paint does help with adhesion.

Re: Question about glue not in FAQ
Sounds like you are using tube cement, supermod04. That stuff is the pit, useful for nothing.
Use two part epoxy, with tiny little dots of it. Stronger than CA (superglue) and can stick to anything unlike plastic cement. It will remain tacky for a short time, but be sure to place the part almost perfectly the first time around as any excess is difficult to remove.

Re: Question about glue not in FAQ
i have always used testors glue, it seems to be just fine. i like it becuase it is not instant dry and you can move parts were you want and will be still able to move
