Hi All
I have a pile of verlinden and hornet heads with very short necks,bought in a second hand shop.
Any ideas on the best way to glue a piece of spruce, off cut, to the neck to rebuild it it to a decent height.


TIA

Chris,

As far as I know, the only way to glue plastic to resin is to use CA glue.

Hey Chris, one way is to drill out the head and neck/shoulder area and insert a pin to the height you desire and use putty to build out the neck.
