After I apply the Sand or what have you i brush them again with watered down glue (like just enough to get the glue alittle runny) to seal it and put a little more sand and then after its done drying I then brush off the base to get the access off.

Thats how I do it, could just put the watered down glue on without the sand but it looses its texture. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/500136/5169605.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/500136/5169605.page GMT Help with basing http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/500136/5169607.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/500136/5169607.page GMT Help with basing http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/500136/5169613.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/500136/5169613.page GMT Help with basing
1. Apply glue and sand
2. Let dry
3. Apply water-down glue to seal in the sand
4. Paint/Varnish.
5. Varnish again.

Hope that helps. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/500136/5169866.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/500136/5169866.page GMT Re:Help with basing
1. water down pva glue, cover the base with it
2. dip in sand, let dry.
3. cover base with more glue.
4. dip in sand, let dry.
5. cover base in more glue (to seal it), let dry.
6. Done.

You only really need pva glue and sand, but the trick is to seal it with it as well after the previous layer dries. I use two layers of sand because just one layer looks a bit thin. I save superglue for rocks instead, if I'm to use them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/500136/5169944.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/500136/5169944.page GMT Help with basing

Superglue on the base, dip in sand. Do it in sections if you need to. Once that's done, seal the base in watered down pva/Elmers glue and let dry. Basecoat in the color of your choice and wash/drybrush as needed.


this is the answer. watered down elmers over it will sink in and hold it down well. works well for static grass too]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/500136/5171035.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/500136/5171035.page GMT
