PVA

[Last Hussar]

I was going to say Poundland.  Also their superglue. Not sure how strong it is, but it works on 10mm based into PVA (superglue is activated by water).  Its ideal for when you want to 'waste' superglue (ie use a lot in one go): S/G is great for stiffening card folds, but you wouldn't want to use the £4.50 stuff.

Any superglue is brilliant if you use baking soda alongside it

As far as texturing of bases is concerned, plonk a small blob of PVA on a piece of scrap card or plywood and then use a cocktail stick to spread it around and between the figures. Gets into all the nooks and crannies quite easily.

Rymans stationary (UK) sell two types, a blue bottle and a red bottle. The blue bottle is £1 dearer and  seems thicker - so there must be a difference. Whether than difference would actually matter in most situations I am not sure, but I tend to go for the thicker stuff as I see it as what has been termed in other places as 'High Grab'.

Do you mean it improves the superglue or is the baking soda just a texture thing?

(Or am I being thick as usual?  )

Not my tip.

Dust one of the surfaces in baking powder ; instant fix.

Be warned: INSTANT bond!

I must give it a try, and must avoid getting glue on all my exposed skin as usual !

It does produce heat too.

If you want a fast dry; sprinkle soda on the residue.  It will go hard straight away.

I would have thought baking soda too gritty for 10mm.

I'm NOT making the obvious joke. That duck is far too comfortable in his armchair.

I cannot believe I wrote that

I popped into Wilko today - They were selling their spray paints at a quid a go.  I grabbed the last 2 grey cans (different greys though, one was marked as a primer).  Think they are running them out as a range.

[getagrip]

Noooooooooooooo!

[Last Hussar]

I've got two cans.  That's a can for now (the last one has just died), and a spare one.  That is two.  Do you have two orcs? One for now and a spare?  I do.
