Had a great response in from Leon at Pendraken
"Thanks for the message and the video link, apologies for any trouble there! Good to see that you got sorted out though. One little trick I use is to mix my glues, so I put superglue on one component and then a regular glue like UHU on the other side. The water in the UHU reacts with the superglue and makes it set quicker/stronger. "
Thanks, Leon!
using less super glue is the key, a tip i saw and use, to keep the glue usable is to pour a drop on to a night light, no idea why this works but it does. Using a kicker certainly helps but im never sure the bond is as good.
Thanks Terry. Yes, was def putting too much glue on before
I use zipkicker. What I do is a little dot of glue on one side, usually the main piece. Then, I take a brush and dab some zipkicker on the bit (in this case, the wings), and aim and push. It will set almost immediately, so you have to be quick! its my preferred method though. Once it's in place, I use a little more glue and let it get in there and cure. Zap A Gap is best for this stuff, IMO.
With 10mm stuff, the reason glue doesnt set is there ends up being too much glue compared to the surface area of what you're joining, so it doesn't cure fast when you press them together. Sometimes if you just wipe a bunch of the glue off and leave just a little behind, it will magically work lol.
Those are sweet gargoyles. Kind of want some. Too bad my most recent order just showed up and I am overseas :(
Nice one, thank you! Yes Pendraken make great figures, will be ordering up some zombies this weekend
