    Tamiya tracks

    Anybody with any hot tips for fixing the infernal Tamiya tracks? I have done the hot screwdriver option a few times and got quite poor results and had to resort to glue, or in one case, staples >_< Just wondered if anyone here had any useful hot tips?

    TIA and hope everyone is good!

    Ive never had a problem with the hot screwdriver trick..... Always best to make sure they are as tight as possible before applying the screwdriver

    We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no ones been

      Ok I will give that another go, maybe I'm not heating it up hot enough, they just never formed a good seal for me when I used that method. Got a Panzer IV to do and while I love doing Tamiya kits this is usually the most annoying bit

        Normal adhesive with perhaps a couple of stitches has always worked for me mate

          Stiches is an interesting idea! I like the sound of that
