The problem is, which was it? Baking soda or baking powder? Being a former science student I know that chemically there's a huge difference between the two. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344591/2409477.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344591/2409477.page GMT Super glue question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344591/2409501.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344591/2409501.page GMT Super glue question

You might want to try the Krazy glue brand superglue with that large red cap! Works wonders for my models. Better than GW, Elmer's or JB Weld. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344591/2409575.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344591/2409575.page GMT Super glue question Baking Soda
(Bircarbonate of soda)

Not sure about putting it on the glue first, as it acts as an accelerant and will go off quickly. It might work if you use it sparingly.
I sprinkle it on the join and dust off.

If you have a gap on a model that is not too wide, you can apply the CA on the join and sprinkle/dunk in the bicarb get rid of excess and sand it smooth,
Best to do within 5 mins else it goes very hard which means the surrounding surface gets sanded back more quickly than the join.
It does help give extra strength and fills te gap at the same time.
You may need to apply te process a few times on wider gaps.

Another good CA based filler is to mix the CA with talcum powder.
The advantage is that you can leave it after it has set and it sands back beautifully.

Drills aren't that bad, just don't buy them from GW.

I got my set for 15$ Canadian. Most useful thing I've gotten since Krazy Glue.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344591/2409586.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344591/2409586.page GMT Super glue question
Just buy an inexpensive pin vice and pin the joint.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344591/2418847.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344591/2418847.page GMT Super glue question

OR you could buy some gel super glue that fills gaps by itself and a bottle of zip kicker to accelerate the bond the right way. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344591/2418986.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344591/2418986.page GMT Super glue question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344591/2419111.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344591/2419111.page GMT Super glue question About the drill for pining... if you have an exacto knife or similar, just go to your near hardware store and buy the appropiated drillbit.

It'll too thin for the knive's handle, but that can be solved by adding layers of adhesive tape on the drillbit's base to thicken it. That's what I did and works perfectly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344591/2419176.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344591/2419176.page GMT
