    Bonjour

    Evenin' all. I am English but living in France. I did a lot of car models when I was younger - about 40 odd years ago - and have got back into it seriously again in the last year or so. A lot has changed! mostly for the better of course.

    Hi welcome to the forum, white glue would be pva, not some thing ive ever done but i would think diluting the pva a bit with water then painting the belts so it soaks in would stiffen them up when dry ,probably would have to come up with something to hold them the shape you want until its dry.

      Ooppps! Sorry, I got ahead of myself there. Should have read the rules first. So ignore my seat belt queries, I'll put them in the correct place.

        Welcome to the best modelling forum, Peter. I am sure you'll enjoy your time here
        Mark is right, white glue is PVA. His idea for the belts makes sense.

          Bon soir Peter. I used to work for a company based in Angouleme, not too far from you.

                      Hi Peter, Nice to have you aboard, I look forward to seeing some of you build projects. Good luck with those "ornery" belts.
