I need your help, guys. I don't know if any of you can actually help me with this, but I figure it's worth a shot, and some of you might know more than me on this front. I'm going to be selling some items at AWA. Heidi's been kind enough to let me have some room at her booth. Okay, well, here's my problem. One of the items I'm working on is ( Read more... )

I honestly don't know, with the weight and all, I don't see how it could work.

Well, I've seen it work before, I just don't know what was holding it in place, you know? ^^;; They had some for sale at D*Con, even...

super glue?. OH, E600! It'll glue ANYTHING.

Is there a way you can make the horns around the clip and then bake it with the clip already attached? Someone once sent me horns that were attached to bobby pins.

E600? Dude, I think I even have some of that for the marble magnets I'm planning! Rock. I'll have to give it a try.

I already baked twelve pairs of horns (well, 11 horns, 1 'cat ears' that I was giving a trial run). If I have to bake the clips into the horns, these will all be wasted... I'm sure I can find some way...

I'm almost postive that E600 (6000?) will work. It seems to bond anything and everything I've tried it on, at least!

Well, turns out that is what I got for the marble magnets (600 not 6000), so I'll try that next chance I get. <3

I'm clueless, I vote for Superglue as an attempt....

And um....
Maybe next time, if the hair clips are metal? Bake them already embbedded into the sculpty??

dependonyou September 10 2007, 12:51:46 UTC

I realize it was stupid of me not to do that, and I will try to do that next time, but it very well may prove impossible because of the way the clips close. We'll have to see. But anyway, yes, I plan to try that....

mobobocita September 10 2007, 12:54:19 UTC

LOL! That's exactly why it was a Well...umm... Because it SOUNDS great to say BAKE IT IN, but um, the exact science may not work! LOL.

Good luck darling, let us know what works!

::nodsnods:: I just hope I can figure this out. I mean, hell, other people have sold horns before. They obviously figured out something I haven't.

Let's see...I have a similar problem, though, that tends to be plastic to rubber that doesn't glue well.

Have tried Epoxy, Superglue, and a few other things, with no luck. The idea below of baking into Sculpy sounds interesting, and that's an idea I may have to try, to see if it'll act as a glue type base..
