station building

Post by Roberts wood light railwa » Thu Mar 19, 2015 6:21 am

Now that my platform has been made its time for me to think about a station building. Now I'm thinking of making a thickish ply wooden body which will be covered in thin branch/twigs. That's the easy part. .. what I need to know is what could I use to hold the branches/twigs in place? Would a epoxy glue work or something like a bathroom sealant which I've heard mentioned somewhere before? Any ideas chaps

Not had much success with sealants and plastic sheets. Not checked but a waterproof pva would seem to be the best glue for wood to wood.
Green tube grip fill seems to work with slate to concrete. The pink gripfill is a waste of time and I will be re-sticking some slate to concrete over the weekend!

Cheers for that info

I've gone for a ply structure which I will cover with lollipop sticks.
