Bythehololight Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Heya peeps, I have recently collected my forgeworld order, first in many years I have made a lightning fighter many years ago from forge world. I have put the new order through the dishwasher wrapped in socks. Also then going over them with cold water and a toothbrush. None of the pieces are glueing together. I bought a thin glue form a hobby store, and also tried a cheap and nasty one from the local convienence store. No luck. I have left 5 assault marines in some dishwasher liquid and water solution in a bowl over night. I'm hoping this may help. Any advice? Is it possible I have a 'bad batch of resin'. I have heard that being referenced. If I did have a bad batch how would I tell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castellan Cynebald Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Are you using super glue? Also when joining flat or rounded pieces of resin it can be a good idea to score the surfaces with a hobby knife, creates cracks for the super glue to grip to. If I was going to recommend a glue for Forge World, I love using Zap-A-Gap Medium CA+. It works pretty well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bythehololight Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 I think the problem was the resin had not dried out enough. I am still apprehensive as there is a slight shine to the resin. I undercoated a few parts to see if the paint sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Resin often comes with a coat of dust, remember to prep it before gluing! I can't link it for some reason but do a google for : Forgeworld preparing resin And you will find a link to their excellent PDF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major_Gilbear Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 There was a recent thread here that covered exactly this issue. Hopefully it's helpful! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
