What's the best way to attach photo-etched parts?

Feb 07, 2005 5 Replies

I'm using photo-etched parts for the first time (railings and attennas for a ship), and I need suggestions for ways to attach these parts to the styrene plastic. (Obviously, regular styrene glue won't work since it won't chemically bond with metal).



I would also prefer a type of glue with the least obnoxious fumes.



Any recommendations?

Very small non-stress-bearing parts can also be attached with Future floor polish.

When someone first draws the artwork, of what will eventually become the piece of photo-etch......is that drawing known as a "Photo-Etch-A-Sketch"?

:o)

How about a little dap of 60 second epoxy? It won't fog anything like superglue might, but be careful of the heat it can produce. This should be a problem with only a little dab, though.

a daB shouldN'T be a problem, I mean
