    Default FCG glue? – 10-21-2010,07:29 AM


    I am making a static version of a FCG that will spend time outside and could get damp. What kind of glue is best to attach the cheese cloth to a plastic skull? I don't think Elmers will hold if it gets damp and I'm wondering if hot glue will stay put on the skull. What has worked for you?
    Halloween is the only day you can wear whatever you want, put on too much makeup and people still give you candy...of course it's my favorite holiday!!!

    Staples. Use an air powered staple gun. That's what I did for my haning reaper.

    hot glue is useless! did i mention, hot glue is useless. its only a matter of time till it lets loose. its a craft glue and isn't designed for strength/ weathering the outdoors.
    i have hundreds of hot glued cheap props from the store that just didn't last.
    its the reason i don't purchase them anymore.

    i use contact cement. goop up your hangers/skull and let the glue tack up before you apply your cloth.

    for increased strength use a needle and white thread to tie your cloth to the hangers in a few strategic locations. (wrist, shoulder etc.
