Hello. Just started my first TK build yesterday. I am currently working on one of the biceps (I am using the cover strip method, both inside and out) and have two E6000 questions...
1) When using the E6000 for assembly, is it best to take a "less is more" approach or should I cake it on.
2) If some of the glue should happen to squish out in a little bead onto a surface, how do I/will I be able to get that off?
I am aware that all glued surfaces need to be clamped and left alone for 24 hours.
Thanks all.

Re: E6000 Questions
Less is more and use it like a contact cement for best results. Put a thin film on both pieces, let it sit for a couple minutes then stick them together and clamp.
If you get some extra seeping out you can trim it off after it cures carefully with a hobby knife or razor blade.

Also, abrade the surface on which you're applying the glue. A couple of light swishes with sandpaper to scuff it up will be sufficient.

Re: E6000 Questions
i've been able to just pull it out by hand after leaving it to dry for a few minutes. no need to use a razor blade or anything, unless you have A LOT of it built up.Terrell78 wrote:If you get some extra seeping out you can trim it off after it cures carefully with a hobby knife or razor blade.
