'nutha thing I don't like

[FierceKitty]

I should add: finding the superglue has bonded a spear to my thumb, not to the figure I was doing up. And noticing after mounting that I've splashed a tiny dot of bright red pigment somewhere inaccessible.

[FierceKitty]

And trying to paint the base around a crowded element of horde troops with twelve figures on it.

[FierceKitty]

Not to mention figures that fall over into the resin while I'm waiting for the base to dry.

[FierceKitty]

AND ALSO that little bit of inadaquately mixed glue that won't set.... Oh, I'm going to bed!

[Subedai]

Finding out that the base of the figure wasn't quite as filed flat as you thought it was.and only noticing AFTER the little chap is on the lean once the glue has set on a 12 figure base!

Your favourite wood brown colour has run out and you haven't got another bottle.

Gluing fingers together with superglue is not recommended, especially if you don't have any release agent. It's comical as a spectator but not otherwise.

Knowing that you've already seen a reference somewhere in the book you are reading but can you find it? Can you ****.

Bent spears or lances on figures that only look like scaled down corkscrews when you try to straighten them out.

Those little bits between the legs on a certain manufacturers horses that are awkward to get to to cut off. (no names, no pack drill).

I often cut my fingers mainly my thumb tho, when cleaning flash of figures. Also stick my fingers together with supper glue.

Take care

Or, on two-part cavalry figures finding that the rider has a thirty degree list to port or starboard and the Araldite is solid.

Pretty certain you can soften Araldite if you heat it.....
As long as the figure's not painted; putting it in boiling water in an old saucepan should work.
Think Araldite goes soft around 60-70 degrees C.

Don't know what happens to the Araldite when it cools down again though.....i.e....Does it set hard for a second time ?.....dunno !
Anyone tried that ?

Please accept my apologies, I didn't intend to upset any equine posters on the forum.

Yep, Araldite does soften in very hot water. It may take a few goes but it does work. When cool it does go hard again relatively speaking. BTW Araldite becomes brittle with age.

I must agree. Save the apostrophe!

Well that's a thread stopper if ever I read one 

[Hertsblue]

Yeah, I seem to be getting good at that.
