No pain, no gain. . . . fingers crossed the epoxy will do the trick!

Thanks John, I get nervous too, -------------
Thanks Spiros, we all like a challenge, don't we, ----------------
Thanks Erik, too much pain at times, --------------------
The last cable I used a drop of S.G. removed the weight then added a drop of epoxy, seems to work !
more bits on with Pledge !

Nearly there, Allan @kalamazoo
Do I understand correctly that you 'glue' some parts with Pledge?
What is the benifit over standard glue.
Erik Gjørup said 2 years, 11 months ago:

Another fine piece of support - cardboard. Brilliant.

Indeed, all is excellent here, my friend @kalamazoo!
Allan J Withers said 2 years, 11 months ago:

Thanks John, it does no damage, almost disappears, although not very strong ! ----------
Thanks Erik, whatever works ! ---------------
Thanks Spiros, it is, almost done, -----------------
Allan J Withers said 2 years, 11 months ago:
It is done, more details and paint touch up, exhaust brackets from stretched sprue, could be a bit thinner, fix later, only on with Pledge so shouldn't be a problem ! --------
calling this finished !
