CA and other things I'm clueless about

[SCRWDRVR]

I think the photo etch parts are going to be the very last thing I do and I'll use my white glue so I can get used to working with the parts a little before I use something stronger. I am going to pick up some of the other glues I've seen here that I don't have to try working with them. I also think I'm going to make up a few of those applicators from the needles that's a great idea...

CA is about all I use for all around building since I do a lot of scratch building.  However, I would never use CA to fix small photoetch pieces in place such as name plates, emblems, etc. because it would only take one mis-alignment and there's no forgiveness in making an adjustment.  This is especially true when trying to fit a badge on a nicely finished paint job.  For those types of things I would use either 5 minute epoxy or some clear lacquer.  In certain instances white glue might work but it does not make a particularly good bond with photoetch materials.

CA will fog clear glass for windshields and window glass so don't use it there.  Again I use 5 minute epoxy waiting until it has become tacky before setting the glass in place.  

Hope this helps.
