Bravo!! Ailenes is one of the most versatile glues I have. It's great for weights, window glass, laser wood kits and ... Etched running boards on plastic freight car roofs. It dries clear and flexible which allows the etching to flex with temperature changes andnot pop off like ACCs will do. As far as using GOO, rubber cement and any other petroleum based adhesive, stay away. I've wrecked some nice cars with GOO or Pliobond when the solvent ( like Toulene ) flashes off over the years and it softens and warps the styrene. You don'teven have kitbash fodder when it's done it's job, you have LAsagne with Kadee couplers.The silicone is good but takes a long time to cure.Foam tape by 3M is the only tape brand I trustbut you have to make sure the metal weight is clean and oil free otherwise it will let go. Rob
