Green stuff is sticky in itself, so you should be able to mould it on when wet. When it's dry ... I don't really know, but I'd go for super glue with all of them. Did you mean when dry or when wet? |

I've been through this exact issue with the magnetized predator tank I'm doing. On one side the wet-greenstuff solidified nicely around the piece of plastic and is still holding in place, on the other side it fell off when dry so I just had to use a little Citadel Thin Superglue, just a tiny dab and now you'd have to rip it apart to remove it. Does the job lovely. |

super glue. Plastic glue (strangely enough) only glues plastic together. |

Haha it sure can and boy does it hurt if you try and seperate them! I always use superglue when gluing greenstuff to other materials. Superglue also makes (fresh) greenstuff harden quicker, too

I once glued my fingers together and had to be taken to hospital for treatment...I was too young to remember it though. Just a couple of weeks ago I nearly had a repeat experience, when I was trying to unclog the nozzle of my superglue bottle (from Boyes, not GW). The nozzle was blocked with clumps of dried glue - I had to resort to using my citadel hobby drill to drill it out, but then the drill bit snapped (and was stuck in the nozzle). I eventually unclogged it, but all the liquid glue trapped in the nozzle ended up over my hands... I hate Superglue. |

You said it right there - a special kind of stupid = Dead Marsh Spectre lol Nah I was doing a similar thing to you, trying to knock the dried glue off the end of the nozzle but with wrong end of a brush - i have a nasty habit of holding my brush between my teeth - brush + superglue + mouth = problem lol - |

LOOL I never had an accident of this magnitude but for all of you who did here is a quick tip for not happening again: Acetone or more simply nail varnish remover. This will dissolve the glue because it can destroy the bonds of the cyanoacrylate macromolecular chain. |

I personally get through a ton of nail varnish remover - very good for stripping paint off ebay'd/traded figs and removing hard greenstuff, as well as preventing superglue-related mishaps! Plus it's really not very expensive at all...!
