And I've read all the tips on resin(twice) but I can't find out which type of glue to use.
I know that white works on everything but the bond is not to great, super does also work on everything, but I don't really like putting the preasure it needs on my models, and plastic glue hasn't really kept two metal pieces together yet.



Oh and please comment here, I don't care how good of a player you are, even the worst players I've met till now had some good advise hidden in their heads.

Also, what do you mean about putting pressure on superglue? Superglue doesn't require pressure. Most people use a curing agent like Zip Kicker to speed things along, but pressure doesn't do anything.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/283255/1395495.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/283255/1395495.page GMT Re:How do I glue resin?
Any super glue will be fine such as locktite or even the GW stuff.

With the epoxy I have used Araldite (you can get it from B&Q)

One thing I would suggest is pinning your model. The main difference between plastic and resin kits is that when you drop a plastic model (or lead for that matter) they tend to break into component pieces. Resin shatters into lots of little pieces. Pinning will help prevent this from happening.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/283255/1395576.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/283255/1395576.page GMT Re:How do I glue resin?

Here's the primary things you need to know about resin: yes, it is heavier than plastic (but not by much); it is more brittle than plastic, so handle the bits carefully; and finally, if you decide to do any sanding or filing, do so outside, and wear a mask because resin dust can give you cancer if you breathe it in. Give it a good rinse afterward.

You mix equal quantities of the two thick liquids and the resulting resin will set hard in about 10 mins to 25 hours depending which version you buy.

I actually prefer Superglue for sticking resin parts together.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/283255/1398122.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/283255/1398122.page GMT How do I glue resin?
GREENSTUFF IS NOT GLUE.

Never ever under any circumstances NEVER use greenstuff as a substitute for gluing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/283255/1398325.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/283255/1398325.page GMT How do I glue resin?

I was asking wether or not greenstuff is a two part epoxy or not, not if it was suitable for glueing stuff together. I just needed to see if I recalled correctly.

And thanks for all the non "greenstuff ain't glue" replies.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/283255/1398369.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/283255/1398369.page GMT Re:How do I glue resin? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/283255/1398383.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/283255/1398383.page GMT
