Advice on "welding" two pieces of plastic together...
All, this is my first post.
I have been out of modeling for about 30 years and recently had a inspiration to get back into it. I have been reading up on the new techniques, paints, air brushing, etc. I purchased a membership as well to FSM and both both Donn Yosts DVDs, subscribed to Dr. Cranky, etc. I'm sure there are other resources I have not found yet as well.
I have been buying used/unfinished models to get my hands dirty. This is not out of trying to save money but I want to start with practice bodies for painting, etc. Stuff I don't care about.
One model I bought has a break in the plastic along the vertical support post for the windshield. It's a Porsche 959 1:16 scale. The break does not mate up perfectly so gluing and sticking together doess not seem to work (I tried it already).
Is there a technique to fix these types of breaks. I feel I need to have a process that I can use to keep the parts in line and not have the glue stick to the device I am trying to use to hold them together. I've thought about epoxy and sand down to match countour, I bought some putty but can't use it until I "weld" the two pieces back together.
Hopefully I was clear. I could also attach a photo but it's pretty straight forward (the broken plastic windshield support)...
Thanks in advance.
