Hi folks
Does anyone know that this might be? - it's not my pic but the customer said the word polcore was written on it! Actually, on that note what's the best glue to use with Polcore stuff? I've seen stuff listed that'll dry in 30 secs (is that the same as Superglue??) Do I still underpin it too? (sounds like I need to be quick!!)

Re: Moulding ID?
No they are OK with this. It is Polcore and a copy of the sardinia range from Simons (which are discontinued mostly) Its Polcore POL 2034 from their DECO range. Looks good in real life as well.
You need to use a cyanoacrylate adhesive, which as you say, is a super glue. I agree, you need to be quick. Alternatively you can use Plastibond from Lion which takes 3-7 days to dry.

Re: Moulding ID?
Yes, you should also underpin. (Some don't but I do).

Re: Moulding ID?
Also very similar profile to a range by mainline mouldings, might be worth a look there of you can't get it from simons.

Re: Moulding ID?
Hi guys - thanks again for the updates. It does indeed look like the Mainline piece - gonna order some soon for testing. BTW I didn't know that Polcore was a unique to Mainline either! Makes life easier doesn't it to know these little things !?
