| | | | | Re: Which glue?
|
| (...) Epoxy works like wood glue, in that it needs to permeate the surface of the materials that it is bonding in order to get anything more than a light adhesion. At my last job, when we were epoxying resin tooling board together, we'd regularly (...) (17 years ago, 6-Apr-07, to lugnet.parts.mod)

|
| (...) Some of the thin CA glues have a solvent added (MEK?), the superglue brand seems to have more then the others. While working on some movie props I needed to glue some detail onto a curved surface. the thin SG brand caused the thin styrene (...) (17 years ago, 5-Apr-07, to lugnet.parts.mod)
| | | | | Re: Which glue?
|
| (...) I've found cyanoacrylate 'Super Glue' isn't good at holding LEGO together for long. But, this is mainly down to the shiny surface of parts. Where I've sanded the edge of a push switch and fitted it into a train controller, it's an incredibly (...) (17 years ago, 5-Apr-07, to lugnet.parts.mod)

| | | | | This is SPARTA!!! Figure from the "300"
|
| Well the title pretty much says it all. I created decals to make the Spartans from the new film the "300." I utilized RedBean's Spear, Helmet, and Shield to really pull this figure together, decaling the lambda on the shield. (URL) Image is (URL) (...)

| (...) Well, while it does require you to cut your elements it is almost all Lego parts. Two parts completely unmodified, the tires/wheels and the little black slope used for the seat. Front Fork is cut off of this part: (URL) This is then cut in (...) (17 years ago, 20-Feb-07, to lugnet.parts.mod)

| (...) while the distance between the rails is identical the depth of the rail is not. unfortunetly this lets 4.5v trains run on 9v track but not the other way around because 9v train wheels have a longer flange depth.. ondrew (17 years ago, 20-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)

If you ask Ondrew nicely, he may be able to come up with a nice adapter solution though. ROSCO (17 years ago, 20-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)

I've been asked to post this for him: Well I haven't posted here, but I am guessing that many of you know me from other boards. Here is (...)

| | | | | Re: Which glue?

| (...) For plastics, I'd recomend "GOOP" over silicon adhesive. It has a small amount of solvent to adhere to plastic, and sets faster. The stuff is like a hybrid of Silicon and rubber cement. As for CA (superglue), the fumes are nearly as dangerous (...) (17 years ago, 17-Feb-07, to lugnet.parts.mod)
