About product

DSPIAE BB-2.5 brass bars, 2.5 mm in diameter

Five solid brass bars two and a half millimeters in diameter. It is the coarser of the load-bearing sizes in the range, so it suits joints that transmit weight: an axle under a larger model, a pin in the arm of a robot figure, a strut between a model and a display stand or the internal core of an element that would sag in plastic.

Properties of the material

Brass is considerably stiffer in bending than plastic and does not go brittle in time. The bar is solid, not tubular, so it carries across its whole section. The metal can be painted without problems; the surface just needs degreasing and priming with a product that adheres well to metal.

Recommended procedure

  • Drill the hole with a bit of the matching diameter and test the fit dry.
  • Shorten the bar with a saw, or by scoring and snapping it, not with cutters for plastic sprues.
  • Use cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) or two-part resin; cement for plastic does not work here.
  • Roughen the part to be inserted beforehand so that the smooth surface does not turn in the glue.

Who they are for

The set is aimed at builders of large models, dioramas and conversions, and also at repairs of broken parts where a plastic joint will not hold a second time. For fine details such as aerials or handrails reach for the thinner diameters in the same range.

Protect your eyes when shortening metal, as the flying end carries considerable speed. Wipe brass filings from sanding away with a damp cloth; dry ones blow across the whole bench and then make unsightly specks in the paint.

FAQ

For load-bearing pins and axles, that is joints that transmit the weight of a part. For fine details it is already too coarse.

They are not; this is solid material. That is why they take a load across their whole section.

It does not. Cement for plastic works by dissolving styrene and it does not dissolve metal. Use cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) or two-part resin.

Roughen and degrease the part to be inserted. Smooth metal turns in the glue and the joint then gives way.
