Thank you for your informative video. During Covid lockdown, I picked up the hobby of building 1/12 Bandi Star Wars droids and now I'm working on building sets or dioramas for toy photography. With help of RUclips content creators, I have learned a lot. Thank you for these tips.
Nice adhesive advice and breakdown of what and when for trucks. With more Hobby Lobby around, seen use of Modge Podge for clear parts. Johnson future floor wax is good for small clear parts like light lenses, plus it shines and protects.
Something I found very useful for a temporary strong bond is either Karo syrup or caramel syrup for ice cream. I suppose anything similar to those might work. And it washes of with water. Oh and it took me long time as a kid to realize it was the super glue messing up my chrome and clear parts.
What's your glue of choice when needing to assemble two painted polystyrene parts? Sometimes you need to paint small parts individually prior to assembly and can't always sand the paint off the gluing surfaces.
I’m very sorry for the late reply, I’m just now seeing this. In the case of gluing paint to paint, I recommend epoxy or, it they’re small parts with no load on them, you could use a drop of the same paint.

Where do I find a table top mat like that ?
Online hobby shops, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, places like that should have them. They’re called self healing cutting mats.
are you still around, I purchased a model that the plastic parts are stamped 1977 but everything is 2019. what is up with that
Thanks brother the glue situation is still the same tracking just making sure that there is not some miracle glue out there.
Great tips !! Thanks
Thank you
