hey does anyone have any tips for gluing #miniatures (or anything similar really)? just did a #bloodbowl ogre and it was my first time actually gluing instead of just like, snapping things in and hoping they don't fall apart
it was a moderate success i suppose but it was a pretty slow process and my fingers kept getting stuck together. i've ideally got 24+ more of these to do if i glue the figures that came in the starter set and i'm wondering if there are any secret techniques i'm missing

@ebeth I remember looking for advice about this for a short-lived affair with Warmachine models, and this blurb matches what I remember:
"For more precise control of glue application, coil a piece of thin wire around a toothpick, with the wire coming off of one end. Put a pile of superglue or white glue on a piece of paper and dip the wire in the glue. As the wire gets crusty, snip off the tip and uncoil a bit more from the rod."

@ebeth just fire in tbh, if the stuff gets on your fingers just wait a few seconds and it'll react with the air and become un-sticky
eventually you'll get a sense for how long it takes stuff to set and where you can put weight on the model, etc. the only real 'technique' I know of is pinning, but that's mostly for bigger models
