advice on styrene wraps to add rivet detail

[nachoman]

nice work Kevin. On my second attempt I did much as you outlined and had adhesion problems around the edges. I went back and carefully wicked in more cement and the edges started to deform about 10 minutes later. Starting to think I may have to go with Archer textured rivet decals.... but I have to beleive I can do this as others have before me. What glue did you use for your wrap?

I always use a testors (model master?) glue that comes in a squarish bottle with a thin metal spout coming out of one corner. It isn't water thin, and it isn't gel either. Doctor Wayne uses laquer thinner applied with a small brush. I have never heard of the Archer rivet decals, but embossing all those rivets can be a PITA - especially when you are almost done and mess one up and have to start over
