Glue for FUD?
« on: October 13, 2014, 08:16:50 PM »

I have purchased a few items (Cabeese) from Shapeways and have them soaking in Bestine.  When they come out what is the best glue to put the parts together?  ACC, Goo, etc.?

Tom, make sure to remove all the wax residue off the parts. Layer of wax will prevent the adhesive from sticking.  What to use to remove the wax:  Search the forum for "bestine".

Yep. he's soaking them.

Tom, leave them in at least a day.  Extended soaking won't harm the material.  Take it out and air-dry.  If any wax remains, soak the parts for another day.  Repeat until all the wax is gone.

Tom,

be sure the Bestine gets all the oils out of the FUD before trying to glue parts on. I have not tried the following on FUD but I can say it will work on plastic and urethane castings. I used it on my AC-9 build. The product is from Bob Smith Industries and is called IC-2000. It was designed for RC car racers to glue tires onto their rims. It is called "Tire Glue". It contains rubber. It holds extremely well and "supposedly" will not crack and deteriorate with age and become brittle. I used small diameter wire "sticks" to place the material where I needed it. I can't tell you about the longevity, because I just used it this past spring. If you can get a small sample from a friend, who fiddles with RC cars, perhaps you might want to try it on some scraps.

Carl

PS; I just remembered that I did use the stuff on a couple of FUD printed 18 wheelers and it is holding well.

Maybe this is the answer the OP is looking for: Any glue you would use for resin kits will work with FUD. None of the solvent glues for styrene (the glues which work by melting and welding the parts together) will not work with FUD (or with other resin kits).

Thanks guys; I have ACC, and just bought some Bob Smith Industries IC-2000.  This is a type of ACC with rubber added to provide additional flexibility.  I'll let you know in a week or so how it works.  (I'll be out of town this weekend for a wedding.)

Hmm... then there's Elmers
FUDD glue...


Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

I still think of FUD as Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.  It made IBM great....

It's still all that. 

I can't recommend a glue because I usually throw the parts away after seeing them once they're clean.
