<\/a>Here is a tip I learnt recently watching You Tube videos. Not ones of railway stuff, building guitars actually, but I enjoy watching craftsmanship happening and, as this proves, you can learn something useful.<\/p>\nThings you will need are: –<\/p>\n
- \n
- Masking Tape. Ordinary white, painters blue or, as in this case, Tamiya model tape does well.<\/li>\n
- Superglue: Nothing fancy, the ordinary cooking varieties work fine.<\/li>\n
- Superglue accelerator\/activator spray. Mine is RS brand but its not important other than it being a spray.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Now, I happened to have all of those, so I know what they do but for the uninitiated some explanation is probably worthwhile. The experience modeller can have a snooze for a few moments. The tape is any low tack tape that is meant to be removed, typically referred to as masking tape. Superglue, officially cyanoacrylate glue, comes in many varieties with different claims to the different things it sticks and its sticking time. The bog standard cheap stuff works for this trick. I used a posh one as it was what was on the desk and its properties are such that the sprays effect is reduced. Accelerator\/Activator is a spray that speeds the setting of the superglue when it comes into contact with the glue.<\/p>\n
So, the trick\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>Wanting to put the buffer beam on this chassis temporarily but be able to remove it later this is the plan.<\/p>\n- \n
- Apply tape to both parts and make sure you press it down well. Also make sure there are no wrinkles in it.<\/li>\n
- Apply superglue sparingly to one part. I did the black chassis.<\/li>\n
- Apply activator to the other part<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
