Aves or CA for scribing?

I have a resin kit that I need to fill some voids, pin holes, broken seams, etc. I'm going to be scribing the resin and these repaired areas. What is going to better take a scribed line most like the surrounding resin, Aves or the black CA that the SM Store sells? I have both, and just want to make sure whatever I use will like like the rest of the resin once scribed and under some primer and paint.

Thanks,

Devin

I have never used the Black CA before, but the Aves scribes very well.

Aves is great for larger areas, Black CA for pinholes and tiny stuff. Both scribe about the same, with Aves being the softer of the two.

THe nice thing about AVes is you can scribe before it's cured with a spatula. You can usually fill and smooth the area without sanding (much) and do that scribing first.

And the black CA (not the rubberized) is great stuff for that. I've been playing with diluting it with thin CA and brushing over an area, then smoothing and scribing later.
