discussion Individual links

[Lee W]

Hi guys,

Might be a daft question but for someone who doesn't like doing individual links and struggles with sausage fingers, guess what I'm doing (holds his head in his hands and sobs uncontrollably!)...?!
Can someone give me some worthy advice on what glue to use, I have liquid poly, waited at least 15 minutes to then manipulate around sprocket but they fell apart on me soooo what's everyone using for glue that lets them get tracks into place without being individual links again after the fitting?
Thanks for any advice

Hi Lee,
What are they.... Resin or plastic?
If plastic then I use Revell contacta,it stays pliable for
quite some time,you can glue the links together,leave for
roughly 10-15 mins,then put them on and shape them around
sprockets,idler wheels. Works for me .

Ah Janner! Hello mate...
They are plastic and I've just had a brain fart... yes I nearly sh*t myself! ... does Humbrol liquid poly go off? I've had it for donkeys years!

Don't know how long Humbrol stuff is good for, not used it myself, only one way to find out!!
