Can someone please tell me what the heck is going on???

Lol, this gets better: the part i'm having issues with is even lighter!!!!!!!!

LOL

oh man, this is too funny

I was wondering if that might be the issue, but then there was stuff that I'd stripped, then washed, that still had issues too.... I think it might have more to do with its crappy brand...

Anyway, I'd bought two models from the Reaper miniatures line, one of them was a skeleton knight (add bolt pistol and power plant, and he's a LOTD sarge) and the other guy looked like a fancy shamancy chaos warrior with a power axe (again, plasma pistol into the hand, a power plant on the back, and done)

Ill try a new brand of superglue in the coming weeks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/375019/2917951.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/375019/2917951.page GMT Superglue Problems
A drop of water can help super glue kick off also.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/375019/2918176.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/375019/2918176.page GMT Superglue Problems Talking like daffy duck at your models also works.
Lots of air, a little spittle, you've got your main two easy fixes in one.

Anyway, here are the models I bought:

No real conversion on this one, just a OOP bolt pistol into his one hand, and an OOP loyalist power plant on his back. I need a couple of skulls to finish his squad so they all look equally dead.

And this guy received an OOP plastic plasma pistol (wide pistol, with a skull on the back end of it)

For starters:

1) Make sure you have a clean surface. Wash with soap and water, scrub, then wash with water to get rid of the soap.
2) Score the surface and make it as rough as you can. Use a knife to cut a waffleboard pattern in both pieces.
3) Use a pin vice and pin whenever possible. This helps a *lot*.
4) Once you place the pieces together, don't mess with them - wait for them to dry. Superglue cures as it is slowly exposed to the moisture in the atmosphere. If you keep moving it around, it will just take longer - because you are breaking the outer "crust" that initially forms when you place the pieces together]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/375019/2918886.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/375019/2918886.page GMT
