Hello,
I have a older sd45 with the etched metal grills that will not stay on the model. I have used super glue to re-secure them to the dynamic brake ,but when handled barely they pop right off .Have done some research and all I can come up with is the CA type glue that is not doing the job too brittle.Is there anything out there that works that would have some flexibility to it but still hold these parts securely and not be visible?

Pat,

I've had very good luck with 5-minute epoxy. For very small parts, I mix the epoxy and use a small pin or sewing needle to apply the goo, keeping the amounts as small as possible.  Excess adhesive can be removed with a toothpick before is gets too stiff to deal with.

Just a suggestion.

Regards,

Jonathan

Thank you Johnathan ,Tried it and it was a success .Now they hold even when handled.Seems they used something else when it was made that does not work as well.
Pat. ;D
