I would like to ask my question here......I am done with the sanding part (12th scale chassis)....rounded the edge of the chassis and the lowered pod and did the CA around the rounded edge, when it dry....totally horrible looking, forming white stuff every where on the edge and they are now rough surface (not smooth and round like before...)

Am I missing some step here....? The problem I think I have is, I am just applying CA by dropped them around the edge (direct from the bottle)....Kinda like what CRC write up said but the CA somehow is not "light" enough for it to drip around the edge, so I have to keep applying around the edge...and it is kinda thick....and I have seen you guys are using WET Q-TIPS to paste CA around the edge.........is THAT the key of the difference?

I ended up sanding the whole CA off and now it is rounded and very smooth, but NO CA on the edge.......do I really need to add CA on the rounded edge?

Thanks for advance.....this thread need to be sticky....
