Liquid Lead / "solidifying" it

Mar 26, 2006 5 Replies

Hi all,



I've finally managed to get hold of some liquid lead (the little lead shot stuff). I want to put some into the front smoke box of one of my loco's, but don't know how to get it to stick.



Any suggestions as to what glue can stick lead to plastic without distorting the plastic?

Pour molton candle wax over it.

PVA

Agree with others PVA is best. FYI if you use the green PVA it is water soluble therefore if you want to remove some it is possible by immersing in water. Blue PVA is water proof. I like the candel wax idea for white metal / brass, but would worry about the temparature with some modern plastics, but that could just be me being paranoid.
