Hi guys - quick question about assembling Friulmodel tracks - do you need to glue the pin in or will they hold on its own? CA glue I assume?

Thanks
Mike

About 2/3 of the pins will stay put. I finish my runs, then slather on a bead of thick CA with a toothpick after they are done.

I just put a drop on one end of each pin (The hull side where it is less noticeable).

Don't use glue. I use standard size staples. Flaten one end of the staple, push the one side and middle about 90% of the middle and the side you straitened out and cut off the excess. It will be snug but you can move it. And that's it.
