Black plastic and Coca Cola can! - what glue do use to hold that lot together. And do you scrape the paint off the can first?

I do like the effect of the Celtic Cross though.

Hi mate,

The glue used was medium CA, for all the gluing ... No i didn't scrape of the paint, but what i did do was rub both the plastic and the tin with a fine piece of sandpaper, just enough to scratch them ...

Excellent work!!

Hi Tony, all the cuts were made on the bandsaw using a jig for the angles, nothing special really ...
