BikerMart Posted July 30, 2022 Share #1 Posted July 30, 2022 Last Sunday I added a couple of dozen copper plates to HMS Pickle, with superglue. And for the next five days (and counting), my nose was streaming and I was constantly sneezing. So I tried Woodland Scenics 'Scenic Glue'. Looks like a white PVA glue. It appeared to work tolerably well. After a couple of days, no plates have fallen off! I don't know about its long-term efficacy, though. Anyone tried it? Thanks, Martin mtaylor 1 Quote Finished: Billings Nordkap / Billings Boulogne Etaples / Billings Evelyn / Billings Elbjorn In progress: Billings HMS Endeavour / Billings HMS Bounty / Caldercraft HMS Pickle / Amati HMS Vanguard / Caldercraft HMS Victory / Caldercraft HMS Badger / Caldercraft HMS Diana / Caldercraft HMS Snake / Amati HMS Pegasus In the dim distant past: Model Slipway Wyeforce / Mountfleet Models Boston Typhoon (abandoned build) / Bluejacket Charles P.

wefalck Posted August 30, 2022 Share #4 Posted August 30, 2022 Stay away from cyanoacrylates for coppering, as it tends to stain the copper. A solvent-based contact cement is the best option. mtaylor, catopower and allanyed 3 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake 1948 Posted August 31, 2022 Share #5 Posted August 31, 2022 If you use mastic glues like no nails or any of the fast grab adhesives I use an eco stick equivalent you can spread it very thin and then just place the tiles in place the grab effect will hold the very light weight tiles in place do small areas (3 sq ins) at a time mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
