I'm thinking on trying epoxy glue for odd PE bits. As is has greater viscosity then your normal CA glue, and it takes more time to dry, I figured i would have an easier task maneuvering parts and such. Has anyone got any experience with this kind of glue?

I usually don't use epoxy for PE. Since epoxy can be thick I think it would run the risk of creating a thicker stand off area between the PE and the plastic. For really small items I use Future, or a clear lacquer such as Floquils or even Model Master. It sets up quickly and since it is self leveling there is usually no trace of where it attaches the part to the model. Others may know more in regards to the epoxy. "Q"
