wefalck Posted February 16, 2022 Share #244 Posted February 16, 2022 Do you think that glueing the handle bars will provide a sufficiently strong bond ? Not that anyone would hang onto them, but glues may fail over time. Perhaps (hard)soldering would have been a more durable and (almost) invisible option. The coach continues to come on nicely!

If they drop some day, then I think I will just glue them back. When it comes to soldering, although I am familiar with soldering electronic parts, I still don't dare to do it in this model. For the purpose of the handles, it would also create other challenges such as isolating the handle while painting the bar in blue, since any soldering should be done before paint. popeye the sailor, mtaylor, lmagna and 6 others 9 Quote Current : HMS Sphinx by Vanguard ------------- Completed: Orient Express Sleeping Car by Amati Bluenose II (Artesania Latina) Istanbul Tram - Occre Bluenose II - Artesania Latina Bosphorus Sandal Fishing Boat Riva Aquarama - Amati Titanic - Mantua Bosphorus Fishing Boat - Tersane Model San Juan Nepomuceno - Artesania Latina Bluenose - Billing Boats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wefalck Posted February 16, 2022 Share #249 Posted February 16, 2022 Traditionally, a varnish called zapon-lacquer is used to prevent tarnishing on silver or brass objects. Easy to in Germany, but I don't know about Finland. Another option is Minwax, a commercial product, a solution of micro-cristalline wax in alcohol, I believe. The latter is used also by museums to protect metal objects. Both varnishes can be removed, if needed. And both varnishes are almost invisible. I wouldn't use matt varnish, as the matting agent probably will leave some sort of veil on the parts. thibaultron, Keith Black, druxey and 6 others 9 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wefalck Posted February 18, 2022 Share #258 Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) Hasn't almost everything, apart from a few 'organically grown' veggies, that reputation By that standard I should be dead already - in the lab we rinsed our glassware with acetone p.a. to dry it faster and that over the sink ... the lab technician was always very concerned about H&S, but in the early 1980s it may not have been on the black list yet. Anyway, I always have the bottle of acetone on my bench for all sorts of cleaning and degreasing purposes. But the quantities used are really small, I had this 500 ml bottle going for almost 15 years now.
