Default RE: CA Glue techniques

For simulated rivets I "used to" use RC-56 canopy glue thinned with water and use a small CA tip or a toothpick. Thicker for round heads and thinner for more flatter head.

Now I can do it twice as fast with medium CA and very small tip like in post 14 and kicker.

Just lay out you panel lines and then I use piece of paper marked of in the proper space between rivets. Lay it about 1/2 inch off the panel line and just go down the marks with a single drop. Do about 12-15 in a row then hit it with CA Kicker, I wait about 3 seconds and then wipe clean with a paper towel.

Easiest way yet for raised rivets. Doing my 90" zero now.
