You can use some glue as picture:



I use Elmers glue for items where i dont want the glue to dry so quickly and i can slowly work with it as it dries. Plus i found when using this on tissue paper, i dont see darkened marks like super glue will give you.
I use Super Glue for the builds for minitures and items that i need to dry instantly. I domt recommend using it on paper or on the wood where you can see it. It will leave a slightly darkened mark.
I use E6000 for items that i want to make sure it hold and its in a area where i wont see it, this glue is nice to work with but you a few minutes before it dries.
I use Fabric glue on all fabrics. It looks nice and its quite grippy on slippery fabrics.
I hope this helps! The right glue for the jobs should help, thats what im hoping! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I got chubby fingers and long nails so I find the forcep or tweezer are my best buddy. :grin:

I use a clear cheap craft glue that is really similar to the ones that robotime include in some of their kits.

You have some great advice here

The sticky strips are the best for clear acrylic pieces…and I lift up the corner with my razor knife to peel them off.

Robotime posted a great guide for you. Depending on where you live and what is available, I have been using Aleen’s craft glue. It dries clear. Imay need to stabilize for a minute or two but this has worked well and it is very affordable!
