dejango[TK] Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 I've got the ANOVOS ANH kit on pre-order and I've got most of my materials gathered for meticulous building, but I'm starting to question whether or not i have the right glue for the job. I few videos on youtube suggested Zap-a-gap and zip kicker, and it has a lot of great reviews on amazon and seems great for ABS plastic. On the other hand some people say e-6000 is the best. Can anyone say which is the better glue for the job? Quote

tkrestonva[TK] Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 Totally agree with Mathias. E-6000 can be messy and requires patience (it takes at least 24 hours to properly cure), but it is extremely forgiving in terms of making mistakes. It holds quite well when you want it to, but also comes apart pretty easily when you need to pull a piece apart and correct a build mistake. I've been doing this for years and have built and/or assisted in building dozens of suits. Although with Zap A Gap (or some other sort of CA glue) I could build a complete suit by myself in a single 3-day weekend if I had to, I still use E-6000. Yeah ... it's that good. Quote
Boomstick Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 Completely agreed, E6000 is your best bet Quote
Tolo[TK] Posted September 21, 2015 Report Posted September 21, 2015 I've build a couple of armors with E-6000. Longer to dry, but, is forgiving with mistakes. Sent from my iPhone 6 using Tapatalk Quote
Knockerbot[501st] Posted September 21, 2015 Report Posted September 21, 2015 I'm heading off to buy 80 rare earth magnets in the morning to make up for the slow acting E 6000 lol Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted September 21, 2015 Report Posted September 21, 2015 A quick hint if you weren't already aware, Chris.. I suggest individually wrapping the magnets in blue painter's tape. The reason being is that they are crazy strong, and can scratch your armor when you slide them off. Quote
Knockerbot[501st] Posted September 21, 2015 Report Posted September 21, 2015 I'm going to make those satchels that someone posted a while back. Quote
