Skunky it's many years since I built a plastic kit, but I would have thought that acetone being a solvent would melt plastic real quick.

Glad you brought that up, Aircrafty....Yes, you do have to be careful with the stuff for sure...Actually the best thing is to use acetone-based nail polish remover with a Q-tip. Then wipe off excess with alcohol. I've never had a problem with any meltdowns but I'd hate to feel responsible for it happening to someone else...Thanks!

Hi Ty,

You might want to download a free booklet from FineScale Modeler magazine on the basics of modeling. It's in pdf format, lots of color photos, good tips, and perhaps best of all, it's free:

Oh, did I mention it's free?

[SKUNKY]

Hey, Bob - How much does that booklet cost?...

[Canucklehead]

I would expect to pay $59.95 for something of that description.

[SKUNKY]

....a veritable steal at that price...Who do I send my money to?

me............

All such free booklets cost $9.95, Skunkie, and you may tender that amount to my PayPal address.

Thanks Bob! I'm going to try the super glue method on the X-1 I'm working on. If not I'll try your bondo method Skunky since I know I can get that stuff easily

I'm not altogether certain you're ready for Skunky's Bondo or Sado methods, Ty. You might reconsider....
