Assembly Tips and Usage
For bonding resin parts and any metal (photo-etched) components, cyanoacrylate (CA) glue is recommended. Metal parts can also be joined using a soldering iron for a more durable connection. Please note that resin parts are delicate and susceptible to mechanical damage. For this reason, extra caution is advised during handling, cutting, and assembly.
