Devcon is like araldite Chris. Not instant, but very reliable. Might not suit your build style, but I set up a few joints ready to go at a time when I use it.
This stuff……

Hi Bob. Just been catching up. In your battles with PE. I don't remember seeing that you clean the PE with a degreaser. A good tickle with a paintbrush and ipa or cellulose thinner will remove any greases from fingers, chocolate hob-nobs and bacon cobbs.
As well .you know with CA less is more.

Thanks Ian, all really helps

Had a bit of a ME flare up, been out of action for a few days

So today, Had a go at adding PE to the main battery director. Now many will think this is a walk in the park, but for me bit by bit! A big challenge for me lol

Then the radar mesh

Not very tidy, but happy with bending the plate at the rear and making the radar frame. Used locktite and it stuck well but need to be careful with how thick it is. Lots more to learn and importantly improve on!

[Tim Marlow]

Hope the flare is better Bob. Worth the wait though, these look very good.

Bob, the bling looks good. Trust you are feeling better.

Better thanks Tim, like a very flat battery! Your tip with cocktail sticks, working a treat.

Hi Paul, need to improve but the excellent help, tips and advice has been so helpful.

Getting back to normal, if you could call me normal lol, thanks for asking

[Allen Dewire]

'Admiral' Bob, you were never normal and we all know that!!! Now, I really have to say it appears the CA probs are history. That battery director and the radar array look tops Brother. It must have been hell to bend it, let alone glue it together. Most excellent work......So take a bow on the poop deck and drive on salty!!!

Prost

Evening Allen, kind of you. It's be a up high struggle but more confident now

[JR]

Bob you like me might find CA a pain but your photo of that part is top notch .
Hope you are feeling better.

[David Lovell]

Looking good Bob nothing wrong there ,you've hit the nail on the head for all of us ,you have to get on and do it to learn from it ,if you can't learn from it how are you going to improve ,I always think its a learning circle than a learning curve. Dave

[boatman]
