Troubleshooting

Parts do not fit together correctly

Ensure you are using the correct parts as indicated in the instructions. Check for any excess plastic (flash) on the parts that may need to be carefully trimmed. Verify that previous steps have been completed accurately.

Glue marks or smudges on plastic

Use plastic cement sparingly and in a well-ventilated area. If smudges occur, try to gently clean the area with a cotton swab dipped in a small amount of water or mild soap solution once the glue is fully dry. For more stubborn marks, careful sanding and repainting may be necessary.

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the plastic surface is clean and free of grease or dust before painting. Lightly sanding the surface can improve adhesion. Use primer if recommended by the paint manufacturer.

Decals not sticking or tearing

Apply decals to a glossy surface for best adhesion. Use decal setting solutions to help them conform to surface details and prevent silvering. Handle decals carefully with tweezers and apply them gently with a soft brush or cotton swab.
