thier website is still up and no statements about bankruptcy.

I guess I can save my money for some other brands. I haven't seen anything I don't have in my stash from them in the last couple of years.

What’s your favorite glue or adhesive?
rattle can man replied to slusher's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I keep on hand: white glue, Super glue (gel and regular) in small tubes, Testors liquid and tube, Turbo Tak, Canopy glue, JB weld, two part epoxy (slow cure). I have some others I haven't tried yet. I've tried Plasti-Weld without much success, so it became sprue glue that I sometimes use to join parts that need a little bit of filling between mating surface. -
Running out of Future / Pledge Floor Care?
rattle can man replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
For some reason I can't find floor polish in any stores here. not even an empty shelf space at any of the big name retailers, I'll be hitting some of the smaller, local shops when I get the chance. -
future/ pledge alternative?
rattle can man replied to rattle can man's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I don't know if it is just my town, but I cannot find any floor polish in any of the grocery or chain stores All I can find is floor cleaner. -
I don't believe my library has classes on how to create the files. But they do help you set up the print. You supply the files.

They have an Ultimaker 3 printer and use PLA.

tips, tools for one handed builds
rattle can man replied to rattle can man's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Thanks everyone. I think one of those PC board holders might help. That and pre- painting kits that don't need foil (slingster, 22 Jr, Jawbreaker, NASCAR, etc.) -
Facing major shoulder surgery in a few months. Any suggestions on tools/ techniques to use so I can continue building? I am working to get anything I can sprayed, foiled, decaled, etc. on a couple of kits. How do I hold a body steady to foil it, apply decals, etc.?

My local library has a 3d printer that can be used by anyone for $5. I am not sure about what printer and resin they use. Just take a memory stick with the files (your own or purchased) and they will help you set it up to print. The limit is no more than 3 hours of print time per print. I plan on trying it next week and will post an update once I do it.

This is how I sand my tires to make them look used...
rattle can man replied to Mike C's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
I've noticed when I use a bolt, washers and nuts that you have check frequently to make sure the nut is not tightening/ loosening due to the drill rotation. -
Like I've said, a fleet side long bed with a 300 is my dream. I'd settle for a long bed kit and add aftermarket 6cyl if necessary. The flareside interior is correct to duplicate my truck. I may break down and get one from that auction website. I'll be trying my local library to print the styled steel (3d cults file, and $5 to print them) rims next week. My local library has a 3d printer. they help you set up the print job. I'm not sure what printer or material they use. They do limit prints to no more than 3 hrs. per print job,

I would love to see a long bed again. although prices on auction sites are reasonable, for now anyway.

Looking For Info On This Trailer
rattle can man replied to oldcarfan's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
the 4-wheel trailer that pivots was in the Fireball 500 kit. I remember thinking it did not make sense to pivot the whole trailer instead of just using ramps -
future/ pledge alternative?
rattle can man replied to rattle can man's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
my Future was stored in a cabinet in the cool basement. It was at least 5 years old (likely closer to 10) when I got rid of it. I'm not sure on that particular BONA product. I use their floor cleaner because it does not leave any residue/ build-up. -

That yellowing in the bottle led me to get rid of it while I was on a model RR binge for the last year. -
I found aplace that I can get a 3d print file from and car print the at my local library.

Thank you. Am I correct to assume same application technique? I thought it was gone. I saw some Pledge Acrylic floor care on a popular shopping sit listed for $99 for 32oz bottle. -
Do any of the re-released trike kits have useful parts for kit mingling? I've never bought one, but have been seeing them at reasonable prices lately

I have visited almost all of my local stores 4 wally worlds, and multiple grocery stores, both national chains and locally owned. I have not been able to find Future/ Pledge with Future/ Pledge Acrylic. Has it been discontinued? is there an alternative? -
