Gluing brass deck to plastic.

Post by Jon C Ryckert »

I will be using the White Ensign Models Kirishima brass deck from their 1/350 Kongo set. I tried gluing a brass replacement deck to another kit a few years ago super glue. It didn't turn out well. Would anyone have a recommendation on another type of glue/adhesive to use? Any advice will be welcomed.

I suggest Gator's Grip glue. Holds PE well and its rubbery flexibility can survive differential shrinkage and expansion of the materials without breaking loose like super glue will do.

Thank you for the reply. I see Squadron has it listed as 'Out of Stock'. Any other place you may be able to purchase it?
