Gluing post painting - Tips/Technique?

I find many times I must glue painted surfaces (or a painted to an unpainted surface) together.  I always then try to remove at least some of the paint. In some cases I can remove it by scraping with a knife blade. If not, I use a pin vise and small drill bit and drill a line of small holes in area of bond.

I know what you mean. Bombs in particular. Try CA and Zip Kick.

Hello!

I always recommend glueing as much stuff as practicable before painting (and it's a lot). Sometimes it's better to leave a subassembly off, but it's mostly when the partition is practicable for glueing.

When the joint is OK I scrape the paint away and use lacquer thinner for glueing. Sometimes I take CA (risky!) and for things like chrome emblems on a high gloss finish there's nothing like white glue - because you can was it down when it gets where it doesn't belong.

Some setting time is desirable to allow for corrections when glueing and maybe some cleanup should something go wrong.

I heard, that light (UV)-hardening resins, like those used in the dental industry are latest fashion now - didn't try any yet.

What do you mean by "hot action glue"?

Good luck with your builds and have a nice day
