Sticky Situation?
Posted by Leddy on Monday, July 30, 2012 7:03 PM

I am working on a city diorama and need your ideas.  What type or brand adhesive do you recommend for fixing  1) Evergreen styrene sheets to painted wood, 2) Evergreen styrene to styrene, and 3) ceramic Verlinden building to styrene sheets.

Thanks for your input,

Leddy

styrene to styrene use styrene cement (recommend tamiya thin). for non-porous and different materials, use superglue or epoxy. for porous materials, use epoxy.

Octane,

Do you consider painted plaster and painted 1/2 inch plywood to be non-porous?

Thanks,

Leddy
