I am sure I have read that superglue is the way to stick brass to styrene, or brass to itself, also araldite or similar epoxy glues. Using brand new purchases I applied both correctly and both fail to bond if any pressure is there trying to make the part come away from the styrene. e,g, brass onto a slight curve. Give it a nudge and off it comes. Styrene to styrene clean break. Styrene piece used as stirrer, pulls away from solidified glue on mixing palette perfectly. Brass to brass, comes apart with slight force. Thus no good for brass onto a curve. CA comes off brass easy, good for cleaning up in that respect but worrying for the bond ! For brass sheet onto styrene kit surface, look further afield to Dunlop Thixofix, and its not a B&Q thing, I am told, and this is true, they have things like evostick Liquid Nails, toothpaste in consistency and performance ! Totally useless brass to styrene or brass to self or styrene to self.
If there is an FAQ for glues then these pitfalls need to go there. and the correct glues need to be listed there.
How do new ideas, discoveries and so on make it there ?...where is it ? Steve
