    Im curious, why use iso alcohol instead of just the spray glue does the iso prep the surface somehow?

    Breaks the surface tension to allow the glue to penetrate the various layers

    remember kids, when spray painting outside, make sure the wind is blowing away from you. Looks good! I love using bark for this stuff. My first bits of scatter terrain I deffinitely didn't cook it. I wonder how that's been going. It was a couple years ago. They still LOOK fine...

  • @dicedrinksanddadjokes

    I once took a Mordor war catapult into my buddies fiefdom list. I tried to warn him that he should spread out even though he's a death ball army, maybe go for the side objectives so he wouldn't be so clumped up. But no, he was certain. So turn 1 i shot Imrahil off his horse and killed a small blob of pikeman and he scooped. This here is the heart of the issue with siege engines in Middle earth: familiarity and player perception. I imagine someone will get bodied one time and then get online and be mad about them rather than seeing that there are numerous ways to play around the engines. in fact they demand to be played around. What does your list have that can deal with one? The scenario above was both of our first times experiencing siege engines so yeah getting blown out is kind of expected but i imagine if we had grinded out the siege engine experience for a couple more games we could have found them to be good but manageable

    Lovely! I've tried commercial sealant from WS but it didn't really work for keeping foliage stuck to my trees. So then I switched to spray glue from Noch, which works like a charm but leaves the trees tacky all over, which isn't all that nice. So this homemade recipe is what I'm trying next! And if it doesn't work for the trees, I'll just use it for my next project which will be my first game board. One question though: I always see you double spraying first with IPA and then with the sealant. Why not replace some of the water in this recipe with IPA instead? Will it mess up the glue in the Mod Podge?

    Hey there! Adding iso to mod podge makes it go weird and goopy. The iso spray first simply breaks surface tension which is also what the drops of detergent does. Good luck!

    The pinning adds strength, you could get away with not pinning them just be aware that a bit of rough handling may cause them to break off.

    I understand why companies send free shit to influencers, but can’t help but feel that it’s a bit unfair for everyone else, personally I feel like having a cheaper product would be just as good for sales and if it’s cheap influencers will generally talk about it anyway. Also I feel like a mesh glove would be better when using your Stanley knife that way, just my 2 cents. Also even though your a kiwi I’ll still give you a sub
