As we build layouts we discover new materials, new ideas and new techniques. Here is a new technique I would like to share with all of you.
I discovered it this morning and it amazed me.
Do you know how, when you pull the capper on the white glue, you sometimes have to re-open the top of the cap as the glue sets and dries.
How would you know if the cap has clogged unless you try it, or, even better, squeeze the bottle next to your ear and listen for the WHOOSH of air.
That way, you know it is open even before you try it. This technique works !!
This morning I filled my bottle with a 50/50 solution of glue and water to the very top. Not a drop of fluid could be added. I was so pleased.
I could get to work on my scenery with a completely full bottle.
As I reached the table I checked to make certain the top was not clogged.
I placed the bottle right up to my ear as I always do and gave a good squeeze.
One half hour later, after finally getting an earful of glue out of my ear, I resumed work.
WHAT? WHAT?
I CANNOT HEAR YOU . . . .
WHAT?
PS: Do you have a funny layout story? Please tell me.
