Flexy 5k DIO FAQ

What's the best techique for precise application of the glue?

Dispense a portion of the glue on a piece of styrene, glass or a metal sheet, never on cardboard as it will absorb your glue. Have a 10 cm long piece of straight brass or steel wire ready, its Ø 1-2 mm. The wire will act as your renewable glue applicator. Dip the tip of a brass or steel wire in the blob and then touch it a diorama object or the terrain itself. Bring the parts together. That's that! Now cut the tip of your applicator wire with your trusty modelling knife or better side cutters to start anew with a clean tip. Small parts can be held with tweezers and dipped in the blob without resorting to the wire. 

I have dispensed a portion of the glue as per instruction, how long till it becomes useless?

A blob of glue is good about 45 minutes after it was dispensed. It gets thicker overtime. For best results and to conserve your glue dispense smaller blobs to always have a small amount of fresh glue at your disposal. 

​What's the shelf life of the glue ?

​Opened bottle can last 6-8 months (often longer if you take good care of it), this depends on glue variant (thinner glues can be stored for longer) and storage conditions. Unopened bottle will be good for 12-18 months depending on glue type provided it's stored in a room temperature: around 20 °C, best temp. for storage is around 15 °C. Store in a dark place, avoid direct sunlight.
