Consumables
Needle applicator
– I use this to dispense
styrene solvent. I find it easier to use than
a brush.
Sheet styrene
– I encouraged
Evergreen Scale Models to make 6”
x 12” black sheets. That's all I use.
It hides better inside the locomo-
tive. Enclosures and baffles need
thicker sizes like 0.060” or more.
I keep some of every thickness in
stock to use as shims.
MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone)
– My favor-
ite styrene cement. Get it at a paint or
home improvement store in quarts for
about $10. Fill the needle applicator
with it. Dries very quickly.
