You know, for making I-beams, guard rails, etc.
Just curious if there is any such thing, besides a hot melt glue gun, of course.
It might even make sandbags, if the extrusion came out workable enough. |

Bill's idea, use a cake set with hardening clay or latex caulk. |

I would agree that the ones made for sculpey would work nicely. It would not be too hard to make your own tip. |

John;
For sandbags, in 25mm, use pinto beans. Wash, dry, glue together, prime black, drybrush, dip… One of the Gettysburg guys does that for WW1 trenches and it works beautifully. Eric |

I've always wanted one for doing strings of 15mm sandbags. |
