Acrylic Paint

This is a kind of paint that is inexpensive and fast-drying (drying within seconds or minutes depending on layer thickness). This paint lends itself to opaque layering but can also be diluted with water to get more transparent layering. Thoroughly rinse brushes when done (you donÕt need any special brush, any cheap brush will do).

 

Adhesives

Epoxy is good for: certain plastics, glass, metal

 

ElmerÕs Glue is good for: paper, wood

 

Double-sided tape is good for: scraps of paper, dry food, candy

 

Super 77 (spray adhesive) turns any dry surface into an adhesive (use in well ventilated areas)

 

Lacquer is good for: dry or moist food (like bread, etc.)
