Well....I've started the USS Fletcher as per The Great One's recommendation for my first PE endeavor.
To that end, I needed a surface to cut PE parts from the fret. I went to the local chain hardware store and got a 12" tile of black marble. it took two to get my 4 pieces of 6" sq pieces. The off to a local chain craft shop ( ) for rubber feet for marble.
I also received some Tenax7 from an online retailer. I tried a test gluing and all I have to say is WOW!!!!!!! Hopefully it will help me to the next level.
Now to get a nice assortment of cements for PE and plastic. Looks like Tenax will be a big part of that.
Once I get my airbrushing skills down, things should look good.
patience, patience, patience.........
one thing i noticed about the marble was that it will scratch. is it the same for granite???
also...anyone using Aleene's Jewelry&Metal Glue??? if not, whats a better alternative???
