    Something to Avoid

    Picture the scene;


    Chassis model blu-tacked to a block of wood, just finished sanding sprue marks on the next component, reach for the glue. Pick up glue by lid (Tamiya Extra Thin), haven't put lid on properly lift up and knock bottle sideways, third of a brand new bottle all over.


    Let this be a lesson, keep your lids on!!


    Solvents don't like cutting mats =[

        But on the bright side it looks a good way to get a rocky effect Matt

          Until recently I was batting 0 for 3 now place bottle in a square of polystyrene haven't spilt any since glue doesn't like plastic as I found out to my cost.

            Had to get another bottle the other week for exactly the same reason!!!!


            It's a conspiracy by Tamiya I reckon
