PE parts

[envious8420]

i'm assembling a pe flex fan, whats the glue to use to attach the blades?

[randx0]

epoxy or clear paint .

I would say, since you are assembling the fan, and are going to paint it anyway, use crazy glue. If you are gluing the pe to other painted parts, I would use epoxy.

Epoxy would work, but I think on a fan super glue would do just as well, it really comes down to person choices.When I use PE scripts badges etc... on car bodies, I've had good luck w/ using future floor wax to attach the PE parts.

I use Poly-Zap on items such as that. On bodies and windows I use Tamiya X-22 acrylic clear for window rivets and scripts.

ok, thanks guys.

i figured epoxy would be the way, just didnt want to mix epoxy 6 times.(once for each blade.)

and i already painted the center so ca is out. (fogging)

ill post complete start to finish pics shortly.

Jim,

I think you could get away with using CA glue on painted PE parts. I always noticed that the fogging is a result of using too much CA. If a tiny drop was applied, I would think the 'fogging' would not crop up.

Anybody else have comments?

if you put Future over the fogging, the fogging goes away. then you got a glossy surface if thats what you wanted, or dullcoat it which would have taken away the fogging too.

If you use a little accelerator on the superglue there is no fogging to begin with. I use superglue/accelerator on nearly every glue joint and haven't had any superglue fog in years.
