Glue gun , pva glue , 2 part 5 min epoxys they all work. Personally i like glue gun the most , its cheap , it can stretch instead of breaking.


see the drool effect: ( this is what you were asking right? )

Cut human hair (preferably white), attach piece to mouth, use multiple layers of ardcoat to build it up.

I think lunas method is a bit more sanitary but I have seen everything from cat hair to fishing line to make drips. It's all about what you have available to you post pictures when you settle on a method!

thanks this will be sweet

I'd give a vote for epoxy, it's easy to do this with, tends try dry glossy and drippy, and can easily be colored.

I have see a very good tutorial on using fishing line and superglue gel followed by high gloss varnish.
Think it was on the Reaper forums somewhere.

Hot-glue can work quite well as long as the surface you use it on is textured and not smooth. The glue is surprisingly sturdy when applied to a porous surface, or to plastic which it will liberally "fuse" with.

Tallmantim did a lot of great work with hot-glue recently, and he did some mucus that you could use as a technique for drool quite easily.

To OP:

Again i recommend glue gun the most , mainly due to extremely easily controlled thickness of the drool you want.

Though wrex's example is abit different than how i use mine ^^;;;

Nono not mine.

But i have used hot glue for art project.

all this drool i am going to puke.

I scratchbuilt a Zombie Dragon for my undead army and i can atest to the awesomeness of hot glue for making slime/drool/etc.

the zombie dragon is modeled to look like he just rose out of a putrid swamp, and i used a combination of greenstuff, hot glue, and melted plastic to make it look all nastified.

Honestly hot glue is the way to go. Goto your local dollar store, you get a big of glue sticks, and the gun for a buck each. You cant go wrong there. Then you have a ton of glue to practice with before you drool up some minis. Good luck man

also try old-style plastic glue - the stuff in the metal toothpaste-type tubes.

shoe goo works awesome. it can get very stringy and dries clear and fairly solid. Its easy to work with but can be a tad messy especially if you are doing detail work. Even if you only use a little bit it works great for cementing rocks together for terrain pieces. Just make sure you let it fully dry for at least 24 hours after that you can pitch it at a wall and it wont come undone.
