I've recently switched to DeLuxe's 'Glue 'n Glaze' and find it works very well, specially with their needle point applicators plugged into the top.

It's quite runny, but the needle gives you a very fine run of glue, it sets reasonably fast and it really holds the canopy down.

As a plus point, if you HAVE to get the canopy off again, as I've had to with my Swift F10, a scalpel blade along the edge cuts it away cleanly. None of the permanent bonding you get with styrene glue.

straight, standard, child safe PVA glue

Quote from: McColm on August 07, 2022, 05:29:55 AMI've been wearing safety glasses when I am sanding which seems to work. They also work for me as I suffer from Hayfever. Due to the sunny weather that we are experiencing over here in the UK,  I have noticed that there's a lot of dust particles in the air which can be really annoying if they land in your eyes.

Wet sanding takes care of that problem very nicely.

Cheers Kit. I was looking at their advert the other day and was wondering about it, but hadn't seen heard a review as such. Probably pick some up at Telford.

Received a small package from Cooksongold although any Jeweller would do I suppose as they handle things that are very small like we do.

A pair of tweezers, stainless steel, standard size

A pair of Diamond Tweezers Locking

I'm sure people can work out which is which.

The diamond tweezers look fascinating. Dare one ask the cost ?

Arrived just after I got home today an eBay purchase

Trumpeter "Master Tools" 08020HG Micro Rivet Punch. 23 peices rangeing from 0.25mm to 1.35mm in 0.05 mm steps. Ideal for adding that little extra bit of detail that may have not been there

Advertised as for Gundam, but will probably work with other genres too... 
.2mm thick and something I hadn't realized before is that you can mount them either through the 3 holes in the centre or by the edge, which will make for more useful, deeper cuts.
About $26 including postage, but should last me years.

And incoming, a set of mini drill bits from 0.1 to 3mm, which should be most useful, as long as I can remember they are there and use them... 

I quite often use saw blades like that with my fingers rather than bothering to mount them.

Ah, glad I'm not the only one

Yeah, I was using the old CMK one I had like that - but I'll give the handle a go and see how it works for me.
I usually use the razor saw sans handle, it's easier to manoeuvre that way.

Seriously tempted to get one of these Rick...looks like it would be very handy...did yours take about 2 months to get to ya ?

Nope, only about 3 weeks or less. Not bad... though the silver felt pen I ordered at the same time is 'still in transit'...
