Assembly Tips and Handling
For joining resin parts and any photo-etched components, cyanoacrylate (CA) glue is recommended. Photo-etched parts, depending on your needs, can also be soldered for increased strength. Please note that resin parts are more delicate and susceptible to mechanical damage than their plastic counterparts. Exercise particular caution during preparation, sanding, and trimming from their casting blocks, using precise modeling tools.
