Waiting for Glue to Dry
Image information
Description
Yesterday the houses and cork were glued in place. This morning, the track is getting the glue treatment.
To speed up the glue drying process of the track to the cork bed, I put the diorama in front of the heat register and cranked up the heat a notch.
Because the track is in such a tight radius, I used push pins to shape the track over the cork and clamps to hold the track to the cork while the glue dried. For awhile, I was using my fingers as clamps in the areas in the photo where there are no clamps. Then I got wise and brought out the hair drier and used it on low setting to help dry the glue a bit faster.
Shortly, I hope to weather the ties, then glue on the ballast using a dropper to carefully add glue to the cramped space around the track. Patience, I keep telling myself, but hurry up, too, so I can enter the photo contest!
