Default Re: Polystyrene knobs and button repair

I have mentioned in the avometer survey thread a 'built up' repair to a chipped black bakelite pillar surrounding a terminal. 4 parts araldite rapid to 1 part water based acrylic (artist's) paint. The setting time was very long- 4 or 5 days-but this ended up being an advantage since the shape could be gently moulded/wiped and monitored for the first half a day to maintain the correct shape. It went even better than i was hoping for.
