Try rubber cement -- it's strong, but doesn't obliterate the paper if you have to pull two pieces apart. It also dries fast. Just use it in a well-ventilated area, because that stuff has strong fumes. I've clogged my room with the smell of the stuff after having a bottle opened-and-closed for several hours straight.

Doing the chin ions. Simple  Slow and easy. Pre score all the lines. Use a sharp knife and metal ruler to cut out the parts. Test fold before you glue and when you do glue, go slow. Let each part dry before moving on. Squeeze the two pieces together using some tweezers. Prices. Well a pack of 200 sheets premium quality white paper cost me about £14.00 And who needs food when there's beer.... I'm going to disagree with Nerath here and suggest not using a rubber based glue. Most are hygroscopic ie they absorb water over time and can both swell and turn into a hard lump. This can distort the model. My preference - and this works for me but I'm not trying to force the idea on anyone - is to use a basic water soluble white glue like "Elmers" in the US or Evostick white wood glue in the UK. The later is thicker than Elmers but can be thinned with a little water. They are easier to use and stick fast even if you apply sparingly. Don't use to much of it because its water soluble base can saturated the paper. However when it dries, its impermeable to water. Which is why I prefer it to rubber solution glue. |
