flounder_al Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I am trying to glue some Treemendus foliage to my branches but the WWS adhesive i am using just isn't strong enough. I think it would be great for foam type foliage but Treemendus is either cork or rubber (not sure what it is really). So what spray adhesive would you guys recommend? Obviously it's going to have to be a clear colour so the branch colour shows through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade H Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Luke Towan uses Kwik Grip, which (I just checked) is available in Britain. I figure that if something is good enough for him, it should be good enough for the rest of us mere mortals. 😄 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ade H Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Would a contact adhesive be sticky enough for making trees? It's supposed to be sprayed onto both surfaces and pressed together. I've tried using 3M Photo Mount to apply flocking powder and realised that I had bought the wrong thing for the job as it just wasn't sticky enough.

Black Knight Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I've used the Contact Spray Adhesive from Poundland on bases on which I've scattered sand et cetera for ground work. Its super sticky, until it starts to set. You need to work fast with it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flounder_al Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 Thanks for the advice about the adhesives. I went for the Poundland glue and for a quid, it's great. Little bit stringy but certainly holds the scatter fantastic compared to my WWS stuff. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
