discussion Annealing PE?

[rtfoe]

Gee Whizz...I prefer stiffer brass or copper PE to work with the little parts. They're so easy to bend. What you need is the proper tools to hold the parts for bending or formers and a good rubbing down. A good set or pair of eyes also help. Stainless steel PE with well placed stress points for bending are what I like.

Annealing for seatbelts I suppose is a must but I prefer tape or paper for it.

Cheers,
Richard

Richard where do you get paper seat belts ? Brass never looks authentic to me. :flushed:

Laurie, Kamazukuri do paper seatbelts in 1/72 and 48. Also rifle belt straps. I've got the US, German and British 1/48 seatbelts. If I'm not mistaken Eduard also do paper seatbelts. I haven't used my Kamazukuri belts yet as I still like making my own from masking tape and fuse wire.

Depends on the type of rubbing down. Pity I have little imagination :rolling::tongue-out3::hungry:

My apologies Dave, I spelt it wrong...it's Kamizukuri. Got their price list from Passion Models when was in Shizuoka last so could have changed by now.
