CDW Posted March 3, 2018 Share #581 Posted March 3, 2018 That's a nice job of gluing those parts together, the leaks notwithstanding. Just as an fyi...you can use a single edge razor blade to clean those stray glue tracks right off that black sheet of plastic.

Landrotten Highlander Posted March 3, 2018 Share #584 Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) take a sowing needle. Cut the eye in half so you end up with a u-shape. use this to pick up some Iliquid) superglue (caterpillar capilliary action). carefully line up both pieces and let the caterpillar do its work from above. use little glue, then quickly spray with activator = instant bonding. edit: perhaps place first on surface that does not glue well (teflon sheet, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1pcs-10mm-x-10m-PTFE-Teflon-Adhesive-Tape-Nonstick-Sealing-Machine-Tape/302526316786?epid=546897656&hash=item466ff940f2:g:rSMAAOSwO7haCVlp, perhaps) Edited March 3, 2018 by Landrotten Highlander coxswain, Canute, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam Slainte gu mhath L.H.

Not if you use LH's suggestion about the Teflon sheet - there's not much that will stick to Teflon . Use the end of a toothpick to soak up any excess before the CA sets. BTW - I use the half-eyed needle trick almost exclusively for applying CA. When the needle eventually gets clogged I drop it inot a jar of Acetone for a couple of minutes to clean it.

semorebutts Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share #591 Posted March 4, 2018 CDW I Asked myself the same question so I checked. Rigging line and a flag attaches to it. Here is a picture. I continue with the mast. First I finish up the piece I've been working on. now I lay out the 2 pieces together and adjust them till it's perfect. Then without dislodging it I just touch a drop of thin glue to the joints. Landrotten Highlander, CDW, Cathead and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I can think of is just to not do it! Can you file a "V" into the tip of the yard? Otherwise use a tiny spot of PVA glue to temporarily stick it on, wait until it dries, and then hit it with CA. If all else fails leave it off. Just tie the rigging line around the yard.
