carcrazy19 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I have a quick question about mock up. What do most of you guys use to mock up your models? I've been using tape but when comes to mocking up small parts like spindals and axles to adjust the ride hieght or engines to check clearences tape just doesnt work well. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbuzzed Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Elmer's glue- the white stuff you can find in just about any store. If it sticks too much, you can soak the parts to be unstuck in water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Colmer Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Micro Mark Liquid tape is my favorite. Takes some clean up with rubbing alcohol and a toothpick to get if off. One bottle can last years. I've used white glue as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jas1957 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I use blue masking tape & Aleene's clear tacky glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunajammer Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I've used white glue, and while it adheres adequately for temporary use, I don't nearly have the patience to wait for it to dry before I can let go. So I'll be watching this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ellis Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 A very small dab of liquid cement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Repeating most of what's been said ... I use tape when I can with large body parts and frame. Micro Mark Liquid tape is the best I've found for getting things to stick quickly. White glue is fine if I want to wait a day for a quick mockup .. no thank you.

Quick GMC Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 http://www.blutack.com/ always handy. I just started using this, it's the best. If your parts are primed and painted well, it won't pull the paint off. Also I use this as masking for weird areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
