Jesse,
glad it made it ok.
i must admit i feared when mentioning 'food' on the customs form
that it would get opened for 'inspection & consumption'.
i guess i am not the trusting sort.
not sure if i knew you were a PA guy.
i am kitty-corner from Erie, down near the Philly end.
hope they let have R&R.
glad you like the tenax. it is pretty 'strong'.
but similar in behavior to Ambroid Pro-Weld and Tamiya Thin or Extra-Thin.
you can eliminte some (small) gaps by squishing stuff together,
but don't get carried away w/ the pressure, as it will let you really deform stuff.
just push till a little bead of material comes out.
once you sand the bead down, it is smooth.
on some pieces (especially airplane wings, but i am sure there is an armor application)
you can put a single edge razor between the two halves, wick the liquid into the seam
by running the touch & flow along the side of the blade, and then pulling the blade out
while gently squeezing the pieces.
also works by brushing some on both parts to be joined and then just mating them.
unfortunately, it also is excellent for running under a squeezing fingertip and
permanently etching your fingerprint into the plastic.
so beware of that!
anyhow, stay safe.
and don't be bashful.
if you run low of supplies, modeling or edible, give a shout.
