Obviously if you poor on loads of super glue then this will produce oozing out of the joint being joined, but I have never experienced any residue.  (perhaps though that is just me being tight with the super glue.     )

I actually see no problem with applying the bicarbonate of soda onto the unglued piece to be bonded and then applying the pieces together, I just do it by applying the powder to the glue, but it should make no difference how it is done.

Many thanks

One more question. Have you tried it on painted bits  eg gluing on shields once they are painted?, and does it effect the paint?

The thing isn't wierd, but the experience was.

My local hardware superstore used to cut wood to any size you asked for.

Buying a 6x4' sheet of mdf and asking for it to be cut into 8x8" squares (for terrain basing) was always a bit uncomfortable. 

Sadly they don't offer the service any more.   

Yes I have.  

Again just be frugile with the glue, for obvious reasons.  I have had no problems with Vallejo, Games Workshop, or Army Painter paints.  What I would suggest is that people use a couple of spare bits of sprue and paint them, then when the paint is dry try it.  (Obviously not having tried every paint make under the sun I cannot guarantee that all paints will be OK.)  Also by trying it on the bits of sprue first you can see how much soda needs to be applied.

Proviso here is do not try it on wet paint as the glue and soda will undoubtedly spoil the look of the paint, but then again so would adding soil from the garden!

Be interesting with enamel and oil paints 

Mines a laminator.

Not for modelling but for laminating maps, playsheets, orbats, counters etc. Its been worth its weight in gold over the years

Laminators are great somehow I have ended up with 3 of them. I also have 3 scanners, no idea how that happened either

Why did I never think of that?

Great idea

For those who use 'super glue' and want an instant bond and end up buying a spray for such try sprinkling on baking soda, it works like magic, is readily available and is a fraction of the cost (but be warned it is almost immediate bonding that occurs).

Both useful to know and at the same time, dangerous to know.

Agree with that; any scientists lurking who could explain the chemistry?

Ever see, "Batteries Not Included?" 

Use my laminator for QRFs and (until I purchased the "Rolls Royce" ones) Sequence Deck Cards for FoB2 and Maurice. Have had a new scanner (other one went west) for a couple of months now but it's still in its original packaging!*

*Do I open it or keep it as a collector's item? Who the hell collects scanners? Ah! ....... Fenton ...... oh, Fenton .. 

QRFs?   Explain please

QRFs?   Explain please  

Quick reference sheet

Least that is what I have always thought...not sure about the 'f' bit

Sorry (teeth back in now). Fenton is correct. Should be QRS (Quick Reference Sheet). 

Quick Reference Folder maybe? Valmy to Waterloo had one 
Cheers,

Admit it. You were sneaking off buying 15mm tanks and subconsciously typed QRF

Quick Reaction Force, surely?

Thanks all 

I used some smarties tubes and bottle tops to make a dropship.

Unfortunately, they "disappeared" the day my daughter decided to tidy up.

I have sacrificed two beautifully painted (for me anyway) orc wyverns to my 4 year old son.  It's part of my master plan to indoctrinate him into 10mm goodness early 

I also don't want to be "that dad!"
