This is the first time I've checked in ton your build Terry. Wow your dedication to getting it accurate is impressive as is your actually work.
Gonna be killer when done!!
The liquid glue seems (ha, no pun intended...well maybe?) to work pretty good for me. As has said, be sure the mating surfaces have been sanded flat after removing the pins.
Well Bob, like I said, after the cataract surgery I have 20/20 vision and before the surgery I had to do just like you, take my distance glasses off to see up close. Need readers now to model and read up close.
I had 20/400 vision in one eye and 20/40 in the other. After cataract surgery I'm amazingly 20/20 in both eyes, even tested a better 20/15 on one exam.
I wore glasses from late teens until my last surgery in December2022, about 57 years. Loving it. I do still have to use reading glasses looking at small print and objects.
