Thanks Spiros, whatever works at the time !! ————–
Thanks Erik, a bit of both, these doors were in place and I carefully brushed the thinner into the join, or I also soften the two parts to be joined with thinner before adding Revell contacta to one side !!

Unmistakable shape appearing. I like your use of these clamps, must save a billion in tape!
