Tuesday’s Top Tip

Yeah, a week of silence, and now two posts, this one is slightly self indulgent, but should raise a laugh or smirk at my expense.

DO NOT POUR YOUR BASING FLOCK INTO YOUR PVA GLUE TUB

This is a BAD idea.

Yes, after flocking some of the hedges and scenery bases, this is exactly what I did. the two cannot be separated (I tried). For large bases, I generally place the item on a separate piece of newspaper, and simply pour from the tub. I then fold the newspaper and pour it back into the tub of flocking material. I picked the wrong tub to pour it back into…

As you can see the flock tub was fairly low on content anyway, and the glue tub was almost finished. Looks like I’ll be off to create some more basing flock and get a new tub of PVA tomorrow.

Just have to survive the Parish Council meeting tonight where we set the Council Tax precept….
