I use a stainless steel needle tip in lieu of a tooth pick, because I can wipe the glue off with a damp paper towel as I go (especially useful during long gluing sessions), and there's very little waste. I also found a wood/crazy glue combo (at the no-longer-a-dollar store of all places) that works fantastic on wood, chipboard, cardstock and paper. It does not have as much water as the others, and dries quite fast, with a stronger hold than plain wood glue. Edited to add: I appreciate so much that you stressed the point about reading the safety information and following the instructions. Someone else on YT recommends using regular crazy glue to harden chip board so that it can be sanded (it works) but they never mentioned the fumes or how harmful breathing them in is. Thank you for caring so much and for sharing your knowledge so freely.

@BentleyHouseMinis Жыл бұрын

Great tips and I will definitely have to try out the wood/crazy glue combo because anything with less moisture fantastic for paper! I feel like it's so important and was necessary in a video about glue. So many of them can be very dangerous if used wrong just once or incorrectly over time. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me as well💖

This was a really fun video! Knowing lots about glue is my party trick 😂 Glad to find fellow glue enthusiasts. For minis in particular, liquid cement or jewelers cement is an amazing adhesive for all kinds of materials (paper, wood, plastic, metal, etc). It's gel based, dries pretty quickly, long lasting, and you need the smallest amount. It typically comes in a small metal tube with a pinpoint applicator which makes it great for really small scale items without glue spilling out.

For metal I highly recommend Allene's Jewelry and Metal Glue. It's a super-type glue and really works for metal; I find E6000 takes too long to set up and your pieces fall apart unless you hold them forever lol. When a glue stick is needed, Scotch Create Permanent Glue Stick absolutely rocks and puts all other glue sticks to shame. Instead of super glue, I've been using DAP Rapid Fuse. Again, a super-type, but even better.

One of the biggest issues I have with putting together the Rolife kits is they have metal being glued to plastic, wood, other metals, etc. I have this coffee cup weather vane thing that was just the bane of that project.

For E-6000, I *highly* recommend using Gorilla Glue Clear Grip instead. It does the same thing, but does not contain the same suspect cancer causing ingredients. Also, use a bit a petroleum jelly on the tip and grooves to keep the cap from sticking. EDIT!!! I realized this implies that there are no suspect cancer causing ingredients in Clear Grip. This is incorrect. There is one ingredient both Clear Grip and E-6000 have. And then there is a second ingredient that E-6000 has. So you'll be exposed to the first suspect ingredient anyway, just save yourself from the second one since Clear Grip is a dupe of E-6000. Look up the material safety data sheets for both the products.

The main thing that rubber cement is good for is as a masking tool. This is particularly good for making chipped paint or exposing rust under metal. I dab the rubber cement onto the project, particularly on protruding edges and allow it to dry. Then I paint the project as normal, and when the paint is dry, I rub the rubber cement off, exposing the material underneath. This is great for aged wood with chipped paint.

@rach2909 Жыл бұрын

✨️I ADORE Gorilla glue gel and the small nozel bottlethat they make that has little "pressers" on both sides (kind of like a hot glue trigger) for very small projects like the metal kits. I use glue instead of the tabs because it tends to still be unstable after construction and looks kind of weird. 🌟Also a tip... I got it all over my hands accidentally once and looked up hacks to get it off fairly quickly and slathering either petroleum jelly or vegetable oil in the area. Let it sit for a bit then massage the are with the oil and something in those products breaks down the chemicals in the glue and it comes off pretty quickly and left my hands pretty darn smooth. Highly recommend!

Thanks for a great video, Ara! If I may recommend another glue, I love Zap Formula 560 Canopy Glue. It’s very lightweight, dries super clear, and has a strong hold. It’s used by folks who make model planes, but I use it for attaching acetate/clear plastic for windows, etc. I haven’t found anything quite as inconspicuous as this glue when you need to attach transparent things. And onward marches the mini glue journey! 😄

For UV resin, the photopolymer resins used by many 3D printers work the same way as the little bottles, are available in a wide variety of colors, and are much cheaper in quantity. Rubber cement is good for attaching paper or photo prints to a substrate. The slow drying allows you to reposition until the thing you're attaching is in the perfect place. We used to use it for paste-up of print masters for catalogs before disk space was inexpensive enough to manage lots of images at the same time. In addition to JB Weld, you might consider JB Kwik, which is the 5 minute version. I use it for assembling metal miniature figurines quite a lot. For assembling styrene model kits, I would recommend either acetone or methyl-ethyl ketone. They're inexpensive from a home store and they're styrene solvents that work just like the more expensive plastic adhesives like Tamiya Extra Thin. The advantage here is that you're effectively welding the parts together because the glue melts a bit of the plastic on each side of the join and the plastic resets quickly in the joined position. Note that these are all flammable and the fumes are a somewhat toxic.

@BentleyHouseMinis Жыл бұрын

Another great video! I have printed out the pdf, thank you for taking so much time to create this resource. I will be adding to my info binder next to my color wheel. A tip for using hot glue, especially with children; keep a bowl of ice water on or very near the work surface in the event the hot glue or worse the tip of the hot glue gun, comes into contact with skin. This instantly cools the glue so it can be removed and cools/soothes the burn area. I know it is a spill hazard, but better than burns. If the water isn’t used I put into the dog dish or water a plant.

Now I may have to start again. 🤔 So much good information, just what I was hoping for! Thank you for sharing your expertise with us beginners as well as those more experienced.

Great info - thank you! I’m a year late to the game, but here’s my two cents: After a lifelong love of crafting, I finally dipped my toes into the miniature waters with 1/24 scale room kits and even smaller scenes in Altoid tins. (This was during Covid!) After much frustration with the Beacon-like glue that came with the first kit, I switched to my go-to paper crafting adhesive, Art Glitter Glue (AGG) and it made all the difference -- for me. As a consequence, I was able to stay at it long enough to develop the skill I needed to feel confident to start a miniature scene of my own - from scratch. Now all I need is the time. Beacon definitely has it’s place and I still use it a lot, but my favorite thing about AGG has always been that it dries super fast and has an ultra-fine tip which is invaluable for miniature work. Plus the less you use, the better it works so the fine tip limits how much it dispenses. It also dries matte so if I happen to use a bit too much, it isn’t disastrous. (It seems to be in the PVA family, but much thinner.) I can’t speak to whether it will deteriorate over time, but everything I’ve made so far is still holding together. I even used it for assembling walls and wood furniture pieces and all is well - so far! Thank you for sharing so much useful info. I discovered you a week or so back and have now subscribed.

Fabric tac with inks makes a great stained glass window. You can also use tiny amounts of acrylic if you want a more opaque result. On a different note, I am finally getting my studio organized. Why do I have so many glue guns? And so much markers! Every kind and color you can imagine, except the good stuff. I have no idea where I’m going to put it all. I’m banned from buying any supplies until I use the stuff I have. It’s a mess!

My personal go-to are Beacon 3 in 1 for wood installation and structure on dollhouses as well as using on fabric without sewing (and it doesn't soak through cloth) I also use it for furniture, and glueing down pretty much everything. It can be sanded and has a relatively quick drying time but not obnoxious like super glue. Gorilla wood glue for shingles. Modpodge for sealing. I highly recommend YES! Paste for wallpaper or paper flooring. I've been using Nori paste recently but not sure how I feel about it yet.

thank you for this tutorial. It is very helpful. Another great glue is Aleene's Turbo Tacky Glue. It has more resin which reduces warping.

Dollar Tree has gel super glue. You get 2-4 little tubes of it depending on the package for $1.25. One glue you didn’t have in your list is wood glue sticks for your glue gun. It’s infinitely easy and bonds faster than typical wood glue. Spring for the Gorilla brand instead of getting the cheaper kind. I’ve had the cheaper kind to fail. Gorilla glue doesn’t!

@BentleyHouseMinis Жыл бұрын
