Glueing to lolly sticks

[fsn]

I use a hot glue gun and for 10mm coffee stirrers that are free from many establishments  .  If you have small children encourage them to take some - you will soon have loads . You need to glue a cross piece to stop them falling over though - the coffee stirrers with figures on not the small children

Ooops! Only just read that last bit. Little Timmy was right.

Maybe if I paint the coffee stirrers silver, Timmy can pretend he's Wolverine.

By the way. Whatever happened to Originaldex? Much better than the copy.

Copydex is latex glue - I thought you were familiar with Latex in all its forms from your "other hobbies"

COPYDEX - I've been using this for years. Best done in the evening, the next day ready for painting. when complete just peel off, rub Copydex with finger and it comes away from whichever surface as a little rolled up ball which you then flick in the bin, No scalpel or chisel needed. Secondly, I don't use lolly sticks; I use lengths of thin dowel and a block of wood with 24 holes drilled in it slightly bigger than the dowel. This enables me to turn individual figures, including upside down, to get at all the surfaces. I posted a picture of this only a couple of weeks ago.

To me "latex" is a phrase I hope to be using at the next funeral I attend.

I have several dozen old Humbrol tins and attach the figures, one to a tin, with Bluetac.

I find the tins much more comfortable to hold than lolly sticks; I suppose plastic bottle tops would work just as well.

Pva or superglue. Then scapel to remove.

Me also! Works fine and has done for years.

Bluetack copies from the Poundshop or similar. It is not as good as bluetack, but can be safely used and reused several times. Do not use over open drains etc.
