Hold on to photoetched metal

RELATED TOPICS: MODELING TOOLS | DETAILING
Ever had a photoetched-metal part fly off your tweezers, never to be found again? Try using liquid electrical tape.

Liquid tape is brushed over bare electric wire, becoming a thin plastic film when dry. Dip the tip of your tweezers into the plastic tape. When dry, the tweezer’s tip will have a flexible, non-sticky film that will grab your photoetched-metal parts – and make it easier to position and glue them without losing them.
