What are you doing today hobbywise?

I fixed the wings on my old Galrauch model. Regular pinning was not good enough... I had had to go heavy duty.

Instead of using paper clips for pinning I used a wire coat hanger. It is far thicker and stronger. Also I was able to drill very deep for the pin. Lastly, for the adhesive, I used a 5 minute two part epoxy. I find the 5 minute epoxy creates an exceptionally strong bond when combined with pinning.

The reason I had to go this route is because Galrauch has heavy pewter wings. It is a nightmare of a joint.

The one I currently have is called Adhaero. I got it because it is cheap (sold in dollar stores) and does the job. There are better ones out there though, but in my experience the cheap stuff works well enough.
