Hi @mosokaiser - what type of brush do you use and how do you stop the bristles gluing together?

@@the_zombie_ritual897 Some type of natural hair (important, won't melt with solvent exposure) size 00 brush that I relegated to liquid cement duties after losing its ability to keep a fine point but still being perfectly good for cemen application. Bristles gluing together is not an issue with liquid cement like Tamiya Extra Thin, since those are essentially nothing but solvent so it alone won't stick bristles together, and whatever miniscule amounts of styrene the brush might pick up when used, potentially causing some stiffening, is instantly liquified when dipped in the cement again.

@@MosoKaiser Thanks so much!

Hi @mcroadk1II - what type of brush do you use and how do you stop the bristles gluing together?

@@the_zombie_ritual897 hi, it's a regular cheap synthetic brush. The funny thing is after you use it, it becomes rock hard, next time you use it, first you put it in the tamiya extra thin and voila the brush becomes soft again. 👍 i hope it helps.

@@MCRoadk1ll thanks so much!!

Brilliant!!

Lol thanks i just use plastercine/clay

That’s smart

Me either... MY PENIS IS VERY LARGE... also no pun intended

it doesn't "stick". Glue is actually a terrible name for it. It's more of a chemical welder. It melts styrene and then as it evaporates out the styrene cures "welded" together. Need to move relatively fast though as it evaporates quickly. If you can already get the two parts together and let capillary action pull it down the join, that's the ideal way to go.

Yeah, it's this thing called an "Internet meme"

well I don't know whats in TET but its the methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) in Lacquer thinner that doses the weld/melt

@@theguru18 Judging by the smell extra thin cement probaply uses acetone.

@@theguru18 My guess is Tet is just Mek.

Caveat - I'm not a doctor. But my understanding is that, at commercial/professional exposure levels, that's where the risk exists. Obviously don't drink the stuff or use it as a lotion. But having a small pot on your desk and using it reasonably, the risks are minimal.

Doogs' Models hmmm, okay well I’m obviously not gonna be drinking the thing like some drunken master haha. But in all seriousness, how do you deal with the vapor that comes out when you open it? Have you ever inhaled it before? I’m not too experienced with the stuff and I tried using it. Just worried about the effects cause of the project I’m working on

I do 95% of my work in a garage, with the door opened, with airflow coming from behind me so I rarely have any concerns about ventilation. But even the rare times I do some work indoors, it's a small opening and the cap is usually only off the bottle for a few seconds at a time. It's never bothered me at all.

Doogs' Models so you’ve never really felt any side effects or bothered much of the fumes that come out of the bottle from use?

Nope. I'd be more concerned sitting in line at a drive-thru with the windows down.

Justine Smith camera sensor + glare from the lights really does a number on seeing the marbling pull through, frustratingly

You are awesome! Thanks, Matt!

Cameron S. Quite a while - I've been using TET since 2013 I think (whatever year Revell's 109G-6 came out) and have only bought three bottles.

Just happened to me fuck

Because it'd get all smashed up when the lid is screwed shut

It could hit the bottom and and mess up the tip there was an interview in a hobby magazine 7 or so years ago about this I'm going to try to find it... the question about the brush being short

@@Dot2TheLock I believe, as well as the Japanese build things, they certainly could make a glue bottle brush that does not quite touch the bottom.
