chip nyc Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Hi. Im Coming to my DT build from the clone detachment, I made my entire 332 grunt with ABS sludge as glue. Does that work here with the black armor? Also since the plastic is already black, Im assuming I still need to paint it? thanks in advance for any info you all have to share. Link to comment

IcyTrooper[CMD-DL] Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Hello, Chip! I don't see why you couldn't do that, just would need to smooth it out so that it isn't noticeable and that the color matches in the end. Link to comment
wook1138[TX] Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Hi Chip. I suppose you could use ABS paste, but using E6000 would be easier. The paste works well when you need to hide a seam. You shouldn't have to paint unless you end up doing modifications and end up with Bondo or something all over your armour. Some of the smaller resin pieces can be painted gloss black and blend in nicely with the ABS - black is quite forgiving when it comes to color matching. 1 2 Link to comment
Dropkick[CMD-XO] Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I'd tend to use E6000 for gluing ABS & then the ABS sludge to fill any gaps if I was adding shims. Link to comment
