ChippyWho Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Riiight...there is (was?!) a learned article on this very forum regarding just that. Haven't actually tried the method, but it sounds reasonable. I even had it bookmarked; problem is we had a dreaded Server Migration since then, and my bookmark is useless! From what I recall, the bedrock of the idea is approaching the job like re-scribing, but leaving the raised 'banks' left by the scriber either side of the line and coaxing them together over the recess somehow (possibly with a fingernail or something...) -OK, you can see I remember enough to get into trouble but not enough to get out again! I have searched the How-To section, but no luck so far...maybe someone else remembers this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silva963 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I've heard of people using glued on stretched sprue, thin wire, and even hair. I have in the past repaired small sections by taped both sides of where I wanted the raised panel line, filled the gap between the tape with putty, let dry, sanded the top even with the tape. removed the tape, shot primer over it to keep it stable. It produced a decent repair! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
