Im not exactly new to PE. Ive done a few builds with PE sets. I find them to be necessary for the most part and highly frustrating at times. I

I recently started building again after a few years hiatus. Im older now and have had to buy a magnified headpiece to see the small parts effectively. Ive invested in very good tweezers and even bought one of the expensive bending jigs, which I am finding is of limited use.

Any advice out there for additional tools and methods for doing the small PE stuff? Im using the thinnest CA I can find and microbrushes, toothpicks...etc.

Thanks

Try some Gator's Glue also. Very good on photoetch.

have patience and it will get a little easier as you start feeling comfortable with the stuff.

Yeah, I kow...there are just so many awesome PE sets these days and hell, all of the good kits seem to come with a fret or two also.
