Which glue please?
Bridkid:
Hi guys.
I have had a search around but can't find the answer to my question...............which is the best glue for sticking white metal fittings to a plastic hull? Also, is there any preparation of surfaces? Someone has told me that there is a special resin but it is very expensive.
Cheers,
Ian.

Hi Bridkid.
I always use superglue never had any problems. Make sure you clean the white metal well and use a good quality superglue. In my collection of models I have Deans Marine Liberty ship completed 1998 all the fittings are superglued in place no problems so far.If you have a scrap piece of white metal try fixing it to plastic card with superglue.

I also use superglue , thick Zap-a-gap by Pacer.
I've also used quick set epoxy and that works OK too.
