Troubleshooting

Parts do not fit correctly.

Ensure all sprue attachments have been cleanly trimmed. Check the instruction manual to confirm the correct orientation of parts. Minor sanding or filing may be required for a perfect fit.

Plastic cement is not holding parts together.

Ensure surfaces are clean and free of dust or mold release agents. Apply a small amount of plastic cement to one surface and hold the parts together firmly until bonded. Allow adequate drying time.

Paint finish is uneven or peeling.

Ensure the model surface is properly cleaned and primed before painting. Use thin, even coats of paint rather than one thick coat. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.

Difficulty attaching small or delicate parts.

Use tweezers for handling small parts. Apply a small amount of 'gel' type super glue or plastic cement to the contact point. Hold in place with tweezers until set.
