Aww, that’s so kind of you. It really helps beginners like me. I was actually thinking of using B-7000 glue at first. :woman_facepalming::see_no_evil_monkey:

I am a huge fan of B7000, but I went with the thicker PVA as it’s more like frosting - B7000 is a bit thinner and takes a little while to dry, and I needed glue that would grab the fluff and hold onto it while it dried. I’ve been using B7000 for gluing the flat pieces together, and PVA where I need a bit more body or have springier materials. Which may be a limitation in my own B7000 skill and not the glue itself!

Ahh, that makes sense. I never thought about it. I always thought as long as the glue has a strong hold, everything would be fine. :joy: I didn’t realise there were differences. I’ll definitely give it a try. Thank you for explaining. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::heart:

Wow, the difference is incredible! The leaves look so full and fluffy now, exactly like a real autumn tree. I love that you shared your process too, all that trial and error really paid off!:heart: Thank you for sharing! Happy building!

Most glues work well with the paper and wood, it’s really more of an issue with the leaf material from the customisation kit because it’s made of nylon mesh, which is stiffer and springier - most of the time, either glue would work great!
