Hello Les here. I need some help. I purchased the full set of PE from DJ Parkins for my 1/72 Snowberry. Seemed like a good idea at the time. I thought I was smarter than the average bear and started glueing parts together with CA glue. I have come to the realisation that I should have soldered the major parts and CAed the smaller parts for a sub assembly, then painted and attached later. I have now learned the hard way that CA does not stand up to heat from the soldering gun when I try to attach assemblies. I am now onto the bandstand for the 4" main gun. I know when I try to solder the parts to it the CA may release and make me a sad boy. Should I try to disolve the CA then try to solder the bandstand together or proceed as is?
