If I can find it, I also have a stand with an applicator bottle that the needle fits into.(vertically, of course)
Should the tip clog, I place it in the bottle and let it soak so the styrene residue melts away.
If I can find that link to that stand, I'll post back.

When working with styrene, I swear by Pro-Weld. Like Bob says---it's a little hotter, but it fuses styrene and sets up waaaaay quicker than tube cement. I use it especially when scratch-building and adding strip-detail to Vacu-form kits. (for example) One thing you must get if you want superior resu...

Thanks so much! Considering a lot of Trek type ships get built on these boards, a simple tutorial and schematic is really helpful. Let's face it.... most Trek ships have 2 nacelles, a primary hull, a secondary hull. Allthough yours is the 1/1000 version, hopefully I can adapt the same technique to t...

Light Gels
I'm about to start building Rel's 1/650 Sovereign class Starship. I've decided to use White LED's exclusively for the entire ship and use colored light gels for the warp nacelles. I used this filter material waaaaay back in high school when I did lighting for plays in drama club. I went to Roscolux'...

how wet is wet? This is almost necessary when doing vacuformed kits. Especially vacuformed kits! :D You can never have too much water. Plus it keeps the paper from loading up. :wink: Also, buy a brand name paper. I've used them all the last 30 years (auto body work) and there is a distinct differen...

Another great seam filler is Liquitex modeling paste. It's relatively thin out of the jar, which makes it great for filling finer seams without getting it everywhere except where you want it. ( a good example is a fine seam on the refit E between the base of the neck and the secondary hull) You simp...
