I hate having to use glue to hold things together bc eventual it always fails. But for the fake wax drips I think it worked well. |
I know...that rub-n-buff is not cheap! I've used it on small things though, and a little does go a pretty long way, surprisingly. You did a great job w/ out though.
I've also just discovered this stuff, which looks totally FUN for rusticating things:

Don't get me going on glue. I have a little bin and in there I must have like 12 different glues -- all supposed to the best glue EVER; only half the time, they don't work at all! I recently did use a polyurethane glue (like liquid nails) and wow, that stuff rocks...it's like construction adhesive. It doesn't dry clear though or anything and wouldn't really be that great on really small stuff.
