Clear parts

[Valvefloat]

What tools do you use for installing small parts like mirrors or turn signal lenses?

... sorry thought this was about clear parts...I'll see myself out....

Buy a good pair of tweezers that actually hold something tight...pricey, but worth it...next, pin the parts if you can, like mirrors etc.

drill a small hole  (you will need to get some number drill bits..like 70 thru 80) where you want the part to go, and a similar sized hole in the part where it's mounting point will be, install a small piece of like sized wire and glue into place.

What exactly are you trying to mount..?

I've got a very large collection of tweezers, and recently my wife has these sticky pen type applicators used for diamond art. They work pretty well. Pinning things is a plus like mentioned above.

It's mostly the clear parts and I QuickShine them days before but I don't want to handle them(gloves) too much.

I saw a toothpick with some sticky on it, silly putty?

Silly Putty is not sticky.. BlueTac works well

There are special 'Model' sticky sticks....but I'm of Scottish decent..won't spend the pesos

This is the glue I like for clear parts. And like said…for mirrors, door handles etc. pins are your friend. I use this rod or 0.020” brass for pins. Any small wire will work but it has to be fairly stiff.

A toothpick with bluetac works pretty good.  I am currently experimenting with this.  So far, so good.
