Glue Help For An Aussie

[Graham]

Hi All,
Some help please? Especially from any Aussies.

I'm currently using a Selleys Craft (paper & cardboard) Glue - great to work with but over a short period of time the models are falling to pieces.

Could it be a heat & light issue?

Any recommendations for glues I can get in Australia or do I need to go overseas?

Thanks

Graham - I think there is already a thread running at the moment about glue

Personally I use standard PVA (white glue) for most things.

Trick is not to use too much.

Hope this helps

Tim

Between them Selleys PVA and Tarzan's Grip do all I need.

Hi, I use Bostik gluepens. I get mine from Big W, they are abit small so I go through a fair few of them but all the models I have made have stood up to time anf wear and tear. they are designed for school and arts/crafts so give a fine line, they have introduced a new container with a wide applicator on one end which can be useful on some of the larger applications, I also find they don't warp thinner paper od even the card as much as the other glues I've tried.


Good luck and happ modelling!!

Thanks All,
Good suggestions and yes, Tim, will check out the thread.
Never thought of Tarzan's grip.

Hi mate

I also use standard PVA (white glue) for all my models & don't have any problems.
A couple of years ago I transfered some models from my office, (which I try to keep as much sunlight out as i can) to my colourbond shed & over a short time the models faded & fell apart. You may well have a heat or light problem.

good luck.
