So in the big panic buy when sg first started disappearing, I pursuaded Jimmyzimms to mule some stuff from the USA, one of these items was a reaver titan

I've just gotten around to assembling it and the sumbitch will not glue together for love nor money.....I scrubbed it in soapy water and managed to get the head, legs and body joined together but the turbolasers just refuse to stick....it's not the glue as simultaneously I've successfully glued an older reaver, a warlord and two gagants together using the same stuff.....

I'll araldite it if I have to, just wondering if this amount of frustration and ballache is common with american models? Do they use some sort of super-wanky mould release stateside?

Mostly I just needed to vent......

:o

Anyway, I doubt it. I'd just pin it, whether you end up using epoxy or not.

Scoring the surfaces with a hobby knife also increases the surface area for the glue, even on really small areas.
