Photoetch detailing
Posted by plug_it_in on Monday, April 5, 2010 11:47 AM

I would love to see a video on working with photoetch. I have searched the internet and its all very sparse on detailed instructions and especially videos. I have just started with PE and it has so many challenges.

The topics I would love to see covered would be :

1. Cutting from the sprue

2. Gluing without a mess - best practices etc and glues

3. Bending - best tools for straight bend types (boxes, "z" bends")

4. Bending to fit round circular objects or non flat surfaces (e.g. round a tank barrel) any tools that can help ?

5. The art of soldering PE - although covered in your recent mag , I have read other articles about using fluxless solder, and would be good to know what power of iron, best solders etc.
