Favorite Glue for attaching miniatures/commercial buildings to bases?

Hey all,

Just curious what everyone likes using for this purpose.     In the near future I'll need to stick Plasticville buildings to MDF/hardboard bases and metal/plastic figures to washers, and was weighing my options.

Rather depends on whether you want to have any hope of removing them.  If so, basic white glue.  If not, two part epoxy or perhaps one of the construction adhesives.

I stick with white glue, because it is fairly universal.  Sometimes a combination of white glue and a filler/spackle to give the impression of feet set in mud or foundations set in the ground.

I use "Quick Grab," although it might be spelt "Quik Grab."  It is usually sold in AC Moore or Michael's craft stores.  It can be a little stringy but it is a lot stronger than white glue. Works on everything.

Where does that stuff fall in relation to white glue vs. 2 part epoxy in terms of taking stuff apart?  As in white glue is "might take some effort but can be done", whereas epoxy is "omfg what have I done".

Whoops, got the name wrong.  "Quick Grip."  It is much tougher to separate than white glue, but can be done. I use a hobby knife to slice the parts apart and then pick off the glue.

Super glue for everything.

How effective is a hot glue gun for attaching plastic scenery to MDF?

Contact Adhesive - there's some time before it sets so there's plenty of wiggle room.

Araldite 2 part epoxy for figures to steel washers and PVA for buildings to MDF bases.
