Default RE: Micro - Mark Plastic welder

I like to usecalligraphypens or syringes to apply the solvent.....depending on the seams. I got a bit lazy on my tam Pershing and just used the applicator brush that comes in the bottle. Waste a lot more this way....but using a syringe orcalligraphypen is too time consuming when most of the pieces are so large. Also, a lot of the seams on the kit are near seamless when pressed together, the bonds don't turn out so well so I would have topurposelyallow a micro gap to allow the solvent to flow between the seam and carefully press them together without having any of the soft plasticseepout. Cement solvent is the best, none of that stringy cement strands or waiting forever for parts to hold.
