How can I keep parts in place during gluing?
When gluing parts, it is best to hold them in place especially if it is a large area you need to join together, such as the two parts of a fuselage of a model aircraft for example.
Add your glue sparingly to the joins, taking care not to go too close to the outer edge as when the two parts are put together the glue will spread to the edge. Too much glue and the glue will spill out and when dry will leave unsightly overspill.
Masking tape is ideal for holding the two pieces together. When you offer up the two parts make sure that they align perfectly. Then add the masking tape to secure. When securing the tail fin or wings use small clamps as the two areas are relatively flat.
Leave the glue to dry and then remove tape and clamps for a perfect finish.
