Everyone,

Recently purchased a cavalier zimmerit kit for my Tamiya Panther and was wondering what is the best glue to attach the zimmerit. Moreover I would like to hear anyone from who has tried the Cavalier Zimmerit.

Cheers M

I used to use 2 part epoxy. Now I use Elmers glue. It works great and there is no mess.

I use a good quality PVA glue and have suffered no issues from its use.

I have used 5 minute epoxy, so that I had some time for fine positioning.
Make sure you do a dry fit first, as the resin sheets can have shrunk slightly. A 0.5mm gap is very visible on a scale model. The sheets can be dipped in warm water and stretched slightly if this does happen. Any edges that had some air or had not fixed properly, I used normal superglue for this afterwards.
Its not a bad idea either to score the kit and the zimmerit ... or even use some sand paper ... to roughen up the sides being glued. This makes adhesion better.

Five minute epoxy works best, allowing plenty of time to position the parts precisely. It also fills the edges. Super glue bonds resin instantly, even faster than it grips styrene, and gives you absolutely no leeway to correct the positioning.
