majel Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Three questions: 1. does anyone know of a tutorial on how to install A/N compression fittings and braided wire? 2. which is better/easier to use protech or detail master? 3. how do you make the 90 degree fittings? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I don't know of any tutorials, but what I do is just slide on the fitting and put a metal peg into the surface I'm going to attach the braided line to and put a drop of CA on the peg. Both companies are outstanding. I go with whatever one is the cheapest. For a 90 degree fitting, just use metal wire and bend it to the shape you want. There are also resin 90 degree bends available from Strada Sports (I believe). I'm not a big fan of the metal braided line. I found a good source of nylon braided line that you can paint any color you want. Just make sure to use acrylic paints. It's what I used on my Mazda RX-7 race car. You can pick up the line at any fly tying shop (fishing). It's used for making loops in flies. It's also a lot cheaper than the metal line and comes in different diameters.
