I'm buidling an Emhar Mk V "Hermaphrodite" (Kit No. 4005) with resin tracks. The resin tracks don't stick when using CA glue (I tried both thin and thick CA glue). So I tried 5 minute epoxy, doesn't work either. Am I doing something wrong, should I use something else?

Thx

did you wash the parts in a mild soap water solution? sounds like there's still some sort of mold release on the parts.

I washed them with rubbing alcohol.

Try using a dish detergent or something similar. I have seen some release agents not react to alcohol.

I used pure dish washer: still doesn't work, glue doesn't stick.
