Moulding ID?

Post by StevenG »

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!!)

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.

Yes, you should also underpin. (Some don't but I do).

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

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 !? :wink:
