G'day all,
Can anyone out there advise me on how to tint super glue. I use it as a gap filler but find it hard to see where the glue actually is until its painted. Im using "Zap-a-gap"brand.
Cheers in advance Jason

hi why are you using super glue to fill in defects it is far easier to use stretched sprue of a different colour and since it is plastic it glues in with the same liquid poly, if it is hole thread a piece of stretched sprue through from the back till it fills the hole and glue leave to dry and cut off both sides and sand to blend , if it is gap then lay the sprue on and pull along till the taper fills the gap and glue , leave to set and sand again , hope this helps cheers ian
