Mako Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 To glue on sand and such? Cheap art store PVA, nothing fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 ...huh. Yep, apparently I'm using it wrong then. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Try using a bit more of it, and lightly press the stuff you sprinkle on to it down, so it actually grips rather than sitting on top of the glue as it skins over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I don't know, but somehow I found a way! Ah, that might make a difference...I'll have to give that a shot next time I use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 It is a very special gift he has... *grin* How's the day for folks? I have a bunch of things happening, including paperwork (again). I remember a time when my weekday job didn't wander into my weekends quite so rudely. No wait, I don't. Postdoc-ing has always had lousy hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1ck Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I need to paint up some models as well as base them to keep up with the league I am in... it's gonna seem like an all day adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Monkey Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 If i had a swiss predator I would probably build him a cuckoo clock.... he could pop out on the hour and play the 'anytime' bit from Predator .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 lol, I'll have to remember that one... Also, I need to order plasticard. I'm giving up on finding it locally, it's not here in spite of people saying it is, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 If it is just for everyday random projects you cant go past the Gale Force 9 mixed bag of the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Problem is that Warstore doesn't carry that particular bag of goodies and ordering directly from GF9 is pricey in the US if I remember right... I found a place to order it from cheap, I just didn't want to have to pay shipping for what's essentially more durable cardstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Welcome to my world. though admittedly GF9 stuff is one of the easiest bits for me to get *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I find it in most art stores round here, it's common as muck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Yeah...art stores around here tend to be 'jewelry' making, fabric stuff and decorations than anything that our kind of hobbyist finds useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
