Glues that I Use (and why they're like Disney Villains)

[@triciac.5078]

Cricut people - the Zig 2 way glue is what you can use to make your mats sticky again. We use it all the time in this house for that (because making my own cards is awesome, but paper sheds a lot.)

[@AlexSchor-y2h]

Very creative. ❤

Should I seal my dollhouse walls with modpodge? I painted them with acrylic paint but I'm not sure if they need to be sealed. Thanks 😁

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I seal my dollhouse walls because I am worried if I am working in the room that I will scratch the wall or accidentally get paint on it. If you have a sealant you have a better chance of keep the walls protected and removing an 'oops' from paint! Otherwise acrylic paint should be fine on it's own too... its more of a personal preference!

Lol! Yay! Thank you Sarah Beth! Yeah she wasn't allowed in when I was using the fume intense glues so she just didn't end up in any video footage this time around. I am sure she will again soon!

[@azteclady]

I use a stainless steel needle tip in lieu of a tooth pick, because I can wipe the glue off with a damp paper towel as I go (especially useful during long gluing sessions), and there's very little waste. I also found a wood/crazy glue combo (at the no-longer-a-dollar store of all places) that works fantastic on wood, chipboard, cardstock and paper. It does not have as much water as the others, and dries quite fast, with a stronger hold than plain wood glue. Edited to add: I appreciate so much that you stressed the point about reading the safety information and following the instructions. Someone else on YT recommends using regular crazy glue to harden chip board so that it can be sanded (it works) but they never mentioned the fumes or how harmful breathing them in is. Thank you for caring so much and for sharing your knowledge so freely.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Great tips and I will definitely have to try out the wood/crazy glue combo because anything with less moisture fantastic for paper! I feel like it's so important and was necessary in a video about glue. So many of them can be very dangerous if used wrong just once or incorrectly over time. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me as well💖

For E-6000, I *highly* recommend using Gorilla Glue Clear Grip instead. It does the same thing, but does not contain the same suspect cancer causing ingredients. Also, use a bit a petroleum jelly on the tip and grooves to keep the cap from sticking. EDIT!!! I realized this implies that there are no suspect cancer causing ingredients in Clear Grip. This is incorrect. There is one ingredient both Clear Grip and E-6000 have. And then there is a second ingredient that E-6000 has. So you'll be exposed to the first suspect ingredient anyway, just save yourself from the second one since Clear Grip is a dupe of E-6000. Look up the material safety data sheets for both the products.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Great tip on an alternative!! Thank you for sharing this! I will have to order some and try it out😊

[@triciac.5078]

@@BentleyHouseMinis I should edit my message. I'll lose your like, but re-reading it I realized it sounds like it contains no suspect cancer causing ingredients.

[@DanceswithDustBunnies]

For metal I highly recommend Allene's Jewelry and Metal Glue. It's a super-type glue and really works for metal; I find E6000 takes too long to set up and your pieces fall apart unless you hold them forever lol. When a glue stick is needed, Scotch Create Permanent Glue Stick absolutely rocks and puts all other glue sticks to shame. Instead of super glue, I've been using DAP Rapid Fuse. Again, a super-type, but even better.

[@triciac.5078]

Thank you for the recommendation! One of the biggest issues I have with putting together the Rolife kits is they have metal being glued to plastic, wood, other metals, etc. I have this coffee cup weather vane thing that was just the bane of that project. Took me ages to put it together and *stay* together. Even now, it lists heavily to one side and needs to be redone. I shall be buying this glue and trying again!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Fantastic tips on glue!! Thank you, I will be putting all of these on my list to try out!

[@eliportella4377]

Thanks for a great video, Ara! If I may recommend another glue, I love Zap Formula 560 Canopy Glue. It’s very lightweight, dries super clear, and has a strong hold. It’s used by folks who make model planes, but I use it for attaching acetate/clear plastic for windows, etc. I haven’t found anything quite as inconspicuous as this glue when you need to attach transparent things. And onward marches the mini glue journey! 😄

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Ooooh that is a fantastic tip! Regular super glue will fog up the plastic and sometimes it doesn't un-fog unfortunately so I may have to try that!

This was a really fun video! Knowing lots about glue is my party trick 😂 Glad to find fellow glue enthusiasts. For minis in particular, liquid cement or jewelers cement is an amazing adhesive for all kinds of materials (paper, wood, plastic, metal, etc). It's gel based, dries pretty quickly, long lasting, and you need the smallest amount. It typically comes in a small metal tube with a pinpoint applicator which makes it great for really small scale items without glue spilling out.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

That sounds like a good one! I will have to test it out! Thanks for the tip and I love that it's your party trick! That's awesome😄

Another great video! I have printed out the pdf, thank you for taking so much time to create this resource. I will be adding to my info binder next to my color wheel. A tip for using hot glue, especially with children; keep a bowl of ice water on or very near the work surface in the event the hot glue or worse the tip of the hot glue gun, comes into contact with skin. This instantly cools the glue so it can be removed and cools/soothes the burn area. I know it is a spill hazard, but better than burns. If the water isn’t used I put into the dog dish or water a plant.

Dollar Tree has gel super glue. You get 2-4 little tubes of it depending on the package for $1.25. One glue you didn’t have in your list is wood glue sticks for your glue gun.

Thank you so much for this incredible video! What kind of glue would be your preferred glue for applying wallpaper to a mini room? As for glue sticks, I wanted to mention one: Coccoina. My Mum makes paper collages and she swears by their glue sticks. They also definitely hold up over time, none of her collages with them have come apart. They also aren‘t too wet and will not warp the paper at all. Their liquid glues however do. But if someone is looking for a great, reliable glue stick, Coccoina glue sticks will be your friend!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you for the suggestion on the glue sticks. I have never heard of that brand but I am always up for trying something new! I typically go with Mod podge but I highly suggest practicing with it a few times if you have never tried it before. It's easy to spread but you definitely want to make sure you are getting the paper as flat as possible before it dries. Sometimes a bubble can appear as its drying but many times it disappears before the next day. A couple test runs by applying it to a piece of cardboard or something will help you decide if you want to use it.

[@Rach1313]

✨️I ADORE Gorilla glue gel and the small nozel bottlethat they make that has little "pressers" on both sides (kind of like a hot glue trigger) for very small projects like the metal kits. I use glue instead of the tabs because it tends to still be unstable after construction and looks kind of weird. 🌟Also a tip... I got it all over my hands accidentally once and looked up hacks to get it off fairly quickly and slathering either petroleum jelly or vegetable oil in the area. Let it sit for a bit then massage the are with the oil and something in those products breaks down the chemicals in the glue and it comes off pretty quickly and left my hands pretty darn smooth. Highly recommend!

The main thing that rubber cement is good for is as a masking tool. This is particularly good for making chipped paint or exposing rust under metal. I dab the rubber cement onto the project, particularly on protruding edges and allow it to dry. Then I paint the project as normal, and when the paint is dry, I rub the rubber cement off, exposing the material underneath. This is great for aged wood with chipped paint.

For UV resin, the photopolymer resins used by many 3D printers work the same way as the little bottles, are available in a wide variety of colors, and are much cheaper in quantity. Rubber cement is good for attaching paper or photo prints to a substrate. The slow drying allows you to reposition until the thing you're attaching is in the perfect place. We used to use it for paste-up of print masters for catalogs before disk space was inexpensive enough to manage lots of images at the same time. In addition to JB Weld, you might consider JB Kwik, which is the 5 minute version. I use it for assembling metal miniature figurines quite a lot. For assembling styrene model kits, I would recommend either acetone or methyl-ethyl ketone. They're inexpensive from a home store and they're styrene solvents that work just like the more expensive plastic adhesives like Tamiya Extra Thin. The advantage here is that you're effectively welding the parts together because the glue melts a bit of the plastic on each side of the join and the plastic resets quickly in the joined position. Note that these are all flammable and the fumes are a somewhat toxic.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you for the awesome information on these glues! I can see why rubber cement is used in that way as it did take quite a while to dry and still could be pulled apart after it had dried.

Well...i put together an art show at a gallery, and to my horror - the pieces started falling apart on the way to the show and on the wall in the gallery! - it seemed to be very strong for several months, and then at a certain time just dies. it was horrendous. Elmer's and Two-ton epoxy are probably the ones I use the most. in the last few years I have had to use high strength Loctite - I was skeptical at first -but I have used it on engine parts in my moped, the tv antenna on my house, and the front door knob - that stuff is amazingly strong. it doesn't seem to ever come loose. the secret is that it only dries if the metal has a tight fit (in the absence of air) - your video also introduced me to some I didn't know about - like the E6ooo, looking forward to trying them - thanks for that :)

Glue sticks are great if you want to cover your eyebrows for sfx makeup.

[@joseybegood]

I feel like I am always buying and trying new adhesives! To me Beacon is like Aleene’s, so many different kinds and form factors! And E6000 is the US version of UHU I feel like

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I am sure so many glue brand have different versions and types and I have only just scratched the surface of any of them😄 That makes sense about UHU. I have heard a few people mention it but I have never seen it here.

[@daelitecityride]

@@BentleyHouseMinis at one time Michael's and Joann's had UHU. Not anymore. Makes me wonder was there a safety issue?

[@DanceswithDustBunnies]

Oh, and one more thing: to help keep your glues fresh when you aren’t using them, keep them in the fridge.

This video is awesome! Loved the Disney Villains reference

[@mildlycornfield]

I was once made to use Copydex for a project in school, which is a latex and water based rubber cement. It contains ammonia as a stabiliser, so it *REEKS* of fish.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Yikes! If I was the teacher in that class I might have had to find an alternative lol! 🐟

[@MsDisneylandlover]

I remember that color glue and that crazy glue..i remember kids would pour glue all over their hsnds. Then when the glue drys . They would peel them off lol..

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I remember we did that too! We did that with Elmers though and that is not so bad as long as you didn't have an allergy to it since it's non-toxic

[@MsDisneylandlover]

@@BentleyHouseMinis lol

[@Shari_A._]

@@BentleyHouseMinis We did that, but first we would color our hands with an ink pen, then put glue on and let it dry, and it would color the glue. I wonder if that's where Elmer's got the idea to start coloring their glue? haha

[@melindamorelli7683]

You can remove super glue with acetone.

[@redgreen09]

[@zinthiakee6472]

This is incredibly helpful, Ara! I recently worked on a project & used e6000, but didn’t really read the instructions. Let’s just say there was a lot of cussing & glued fingers!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Oh no! I am so glad this can help!😊

[@rudigoldammer6223]

Very interesting and insightful. Thank you my dear! I'm from Germany and I'm trying to find similar and comparable products here...

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I am glad it was helpful! If you download the PDF I have written what each glue is classified as (such as PCA or Acetone) so you may be able to find a similar glue in your country that goes by another brand name.

[@rachaelkasper5445]

Thank you! This was so helpful and I'll be keeping this handy reference in my studio. I really enjoyed this!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I am so glad it was helpful!💖 Be sure to add your own notes too!

Your website was recommended to me. So glad I tuned in! you are very knowledgeable, cleaver and seems talented. I found your glue video to be extremely helpful. Especially the hot glue machine. I live in western Canada. Where can I buy that amazing glue gun?

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you! I am so glad you liked the video and found it helpful! I have a page on my website that has all my recommended products and the glue gun is on there. Thanks for tuning in! www.bentleyhouseminis.com/affiliate-links

[@dianegraydon1143]

Just found tacky glue in walmart ....canada. Products can vary up here. I have a request ...I know its not your style but I'm doing doll houses for my granddaughters, and dark colours old looking isn't the style...have you considered doing a girly doll house, cremes, pastels, French style, l'm doing shabby chic look..and I would love to see you do one...

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I may do an opposite style project sometime in the future! I do appreciate the cute/beautiful look that others create and it's definitely a whole other challenge!

[@judyrobertson9479]

This is very needed. Thank you

Thank you so much!💖

[@cindyqueenofyou]

Also heads up regarding gorilla glue... for some reason animals like it and so they will eat it right out of the bottle or they'll chew the bottle up to get to it. As it hits their stomach and the fluid in their stomach it swells and bubbles. Then becomes hard in their stomach and has to be surgically removed. So if you're going to use gorilla glue please please make sure that you keep it up high where the animals can't get it and don't leave it on your table while you're using it and then wander off to do something else and leave it. I just don't have it in my house at all because the danger is just too high.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Well that's horrifying! Thank you so much for sharing that information. I am even more glad that I don't have it anymore. I do keep the hazardous ones locked in a cabinet but if I ever do get it again it will be extra locked up!
