MODELING TIPS

Recently I discovered a product by Scotch called Permanent Doubled Sided Tape. This is your familiar “Scotch Tape”, but double sided. It is excellent for joining bigger layers of wood or styrene together when it is difficult to glue to the center of the pieces.

While it is sticky (see photo below where it removed the grime from my fingers), the pieces can still be pulled apart or moved to get the correct positioning before final gluing.
