Is it loose joint? I use clear nail polish for my other plastic models. Try on some runners first to see whether the brand u buy will damage a not.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried last nite apply clear nail polish wait til it totally dry but it still came off, so I apply another layer nail polish leave it overnight, this morning tried still failed

i use glue on it, but no those superglue. i try Tamiya cement, but no strong enough to hold it. it still came off.

Ah I see, is it ok to superglue it, not all superglue can be used right?

i use UHU glue. leave it overnight. so far so good.

Why not just put a layer of tape?

you just want the thickness, right?

u can either soak in 90% alcohol or bleach, I've tried both and I found that alcohol would strip paint faster, even for lacquer based paints. the downside is that alcohol very hard to find in huge amounts

spray white primer first then spray orange

Soak in dettol overnight den brush with a toothbrush, thinner will weaken the plastic.

Anyone here try before these paints before?

Need to thin it? If so...which thinner is better? The standard Gaia thinner will do?

Also...where to get Respirator which is for painting in SG? Something similar to this....
