RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted February 9, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 9, 2019 What's the best glue to use on this stuff please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted February 9, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 9, 2019 PVA or Roket card glue. If you need to attach plasticard to it, no more nails is the way to go - copes well with one absorbent and one smooth surface. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those steps where glued with good old UHU but I have been using Roket glue to good effect recently plus it sets quickly unlike UHU which would normally be left 24hrs. If you scratch the surface of plastic, like the reverse side of a Wills sheet, Roket will stick that to card as well - very versatile product - well I hope so otherwise the roofs are about to come off the recent set of buildings I have been doing!!! Good filler as well to hide all those little gaps that suddenly appear after painting! Edited February 9, 2019 by KNP 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve found roket glue works well , if you need to bond to plastic sheet, give the surface a primer coat of liquid poly. This seems to really help .

cliff park Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Slightly off topic. My Dad was a carpenter and was over the moon when PVA glue appeared on the scene, after a lifetime of preparing scotch glue. He used to dilute the PVA with water in a jamjar and one night he went to bed leaving a residue of diluted glue, and an old tablespoon in the jar on his sawbench. The next day he had to smash the jamjar to get the spoon out, then chisel the remains of the jar off his sawbench. The point is PVA is much more useful than you may realise, even diluted. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony Teague Posted February 16, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 16, 2019 I see that it was back in early January when I first looked at Little Muddle. It has taken me until now to work all the way through this excellent thread and I am still amazed by the quality and realism of your scenery. The downside is that it has made me realise how deficient I am in the undergrowth department! I have already had to plant additional trees, and I can see that this will only be the beginning. Thanks Kevin for the inspiration! Tony 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Kevin for the inspiration! Tony Thank you for that. To me scenery is everything and when looking at historic pictures it is only to easy to see exactly how many trees, bushes, hedges etc are present..... Best of luck, looking at your layout I reckon you need about 500... of various sizes.....of course! Hope you sort out the problems with your undergrowth...….

I keep having a word with them, but to no avail as they just sit there and chat...... Like the chaps at the creamery, they are still standing there discussing how to move that crate!!!
