I wouldn't use evostik to bond metal to plastic... too much gooey stuff and not enough stick. <br /> <br />If you can i would suggest using an "interference fit" without adhesive... that is GENTLY pu***he steps into slightly undersize holes... this can be aided by disolving the edges of the hole with a spot of Mek.... practice with similar wire in scarp plastic first!... The idea is to eased the hole then let it harden back round the metal. The other way is to pu***he metal step through and add a touch of glue at the back... any ordinary glue like bostik clear would do this... it isn't really glueing it but providing a blob to stop the metal drawing back out though the hole. <br /> <br />With suitable caution and practice i would tend to use a cyano cryolate superglue. You will need minute amounts Wickes do a 3mg tube... probably eneough for your fleet. Might work for the brass kit... try on some scrap. Remember...don't stick your fingers together and don't scratch your nose with a gluey finger!
