"Glue for battalions" Topic

Hello folks. I am trying to glue plastic risk miniatures (the tricorn ones) to some greyboard (craft board). I'm looking for glue that is a bit viscous, as when I've used normal model super glue, the bond isn't strong or thick enough. (The glue forms a layer that is too thin? I'm not a glue-ologist.) Any suggestions?

Use "Elmer's" glue or a similar white glue. That should work fine. I used it for may years gluing plastic figures to card bases.

Same as ColCampbell. It mostly holds, and when it doesn't, the glue breaks and not the figure. Might consider one of the "sticky glue" or "craft glue" variants, as the figures are less likely to change face while drying.

Testors' Household Cement is a multi-use glue. Green tubes at Hobby Lobby.

Try wallpaper border paste. It's like white glue on steroids. Your local home decorating store should have it.

I use Elmer's because it make re-basing a breeze. Just soak the figures in some lukewarm water and they come right off.

Tacky Glue in the small brown bottles in the craft aisle at Dollar Tree.

Might try a hot glue gun.

E6000 will likely do the job and has the virtue of being slightly flexible.

Second E6000, it's my goto for dissimilar or hard to glue materials

where super adhesive is not vital I use hot melt glue, allows for a bit of unever on the base as its fills gaps and is tough. Hot water will sofpten so figures could be removed.

UHU sticks anything to anything and is quite gloopy. I use it fir all my basing.

I used UHU on my RISK figures years ago – never had a single 'deserter' despite the bases just being flung into a tin after use.

E6000 – dries slowly so you can adjust fit of figures. Works well on metal, wood and plastic.

UHU works well for me.
