The End is Nigh: Deadlands
Gluing Up
Before heading out on vacation I glued up the layers. For this I prefer to use Liquid Nails: Projects – Construction Adhesive. It works great on all the surfaces I need to glue up, including the foam insulation, and has a very strong bond. As a bonus you can clean up with water until it has set, at which point you will need to use mineral spirits, just don’t get the spirits on the foam.
Following the directions on the tube, I ran a ¼” bead near the edge, as well as some in the center, of the bottom of a layer, as the tops of each layer may have some open areas. Then you press the layer into place, lift off for 2 -4 minutes, then press back into place.
Once all the layers were glued, I smoothed out the excess that had squeezed out around the edges with my finger and some scrap card just to tidy it up.
I then stacked some books on it to act as a poor mans “clamp” to hold it all firm while it set up.
Poor mans "clamp"I then left that to sit while I prepped the skull for mounting.
