Bobs got it. right. I use an unfolded paper clip, but you should be dipping the thin pointer (in case the paper clip) into the glue, and "saliva lick thick" spread the glue. don't put the glue on the tab, but on the backside of hte model piece. Then pinch the two parts together and hold with your fingers. You will know you have the right amount of glue because if you count to 10 holding the parts, it will be dry when you hit 10.

To: [email protected] Date: Friday, March 12, 2010, 11:01 AM Good for you! It is a good hobby. Most of us use a toothpick to apply the glue to the tabs or areas that glue should be applied to. Some of us use lids off of small containers like juice cans or bottle caps to hold a small amount of glue to keep the mess down. Then using the toothpick, pick up a small amount of glue on the tip and smear it in a thin coat. If more is needed just dip more on the toothpick. Some models even have an Astrick or symbol like this * on the area where glue should be applied. Hope this helps answer your question and good luck and have fun!

To: "Papermodels II" <[email protected]> Date: Friday, March 12, 2010, 6:06 AM Hello I am recently into making paper models and I have a problem dealing with gluing. Every time I try to glue and unfortunately I make mistakes, I accidentally put excess glue on the part where it is not supposed to touch the glue and I make discolored and smeared models.
