General Instructions when using Photoetched Parts:
- Do not remove the etched parts from the fret until you are ready to use them.
- Before assembly, soak the etched parts in a suitable solvent, such as white spirit, to de-grease the surfaces for painting.
- Cyanoacrylate adhesive (super glue) or contact adhesive such as Elmers white glue may be used. Apply with a pin or piece of stretched sprue.
- Place the fret on a hard surface in order to prevent parts bending whilst cutting through the holding tabs.
- We suggest using that a #11 type of modelling knife blade for this purpose.
- When shaping or bending a part, a straight edged blade such as a chisel blade #17 or # 18 will give a good sharp corner, or alternatively a small pair of smooth jawed pliers may be used.
- If a part is bent incorrectly, lay it on a hard flat surface and roll it flat with a cylindrical object such as a modelling knife handle.
- We suggest that stock rails are pre-measured, where practical, using a pair of compass dividers. Tack the deck edge every third or fourth stanchion with a small drop of glue.
- When a section is complete, run a thin line of glue along the inside edge to attach it firmly to the deck.
Accordingly, we suggest you purchase our Photoetch Bender Tools for easy assembly.
