Cocktail Stick

Post by Donkeywalloper »

Hi all

Stupid little question but one I need to ask.
I notice the heavy use of Cocktail Sticks to mount pieces of model on prior or during painting.
How do you attach the model piece to stick?
Thanks muchly

Super Glue, or 'CA'
Or you could use a small amount of blue-tak.

Hope that helps!

I use any holes or gaps i can poke the stick through, or cut the end of the stick flat and using a very small amount of ca glue glue the stick in a place that wont be seen, this then snaps off cleanly once done.
