I think its the vapours of the glue not actual contact of the stuff!!! HOW DO I CLEAN?? Wiping with damp cloth doesn't work makes it worse!!! My analysis, looking at the colour of said vehicle, would be to administer a short, sharp, thwack with a 4lb lump hammer. Then run down the local Britains dealer and buy a half dozen TS135As. The way the whistle off those mothers makes the hair stand up on my neck as they cruise past my office is only matched by the sweet sweet note of a 5000/600/10. Basildon built is better built!

Tractorman810 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 no idea mate,it does happen sometimes to me,usually when i have put the cab or part being glued on before it has gone off,tried whiter spirit once ,but that just whited the whole bit,did here once some one say roll a bit of bluetac arround the inside /area its on?? not tried it yet though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Interested Spectator Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Sorry mate but from previous bitter experience there is nothing you can do. All the family of "Super Glues" will fog clear plastics. I did a small test on a sheet of clear plastic a while back. The only one that did not fog the plastic was Revell Contacta Professional.

pistol pete Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 RICKY HAVE YOU TRIED SURGIAL SPIRT IT SOME TIMES WORKS IF NOT USING FINE MICRO MESH DOES YOU CAN BUY IT FROM MODEL SHOPS ITS LIKE SAND PAPER BUT FINER.

THEBRITFARMER Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 They make compounds for polishing scratches out of plastic nowadays maybe that would help. How about taking the "glass" out in the future so this doesn't happen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Oh deere.... I wish I could make models as good as you!!! :D :D ;) It will wipe off paint but not clear plastic very easily I've found out through experience. It can take several days to materialise too as I've found out when i've packed up models shortly after assembly and then when removed from the packaging a few days later you have glue mist every where! Try a soft cloth on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
