I just reached a very frustrating snag in my customization. I was trying to build a leader class sized rotf scavenger out of cardboard. I started by buying up some cheap rough cardboard at a chinese store .. which bonds perfectly with standard super glue. However, that store, does not have any white cardboard in stock. So I went to another store to buy white cardboard. I came home tonight, and after spending an hour carefully shaping and cutting out all the white parts of scavenger. I discovered to my dismay, that the damn thing just won't bind. I opened a fresh bottle of superglue to no avail. The superglue just cannot adhere to the smoother white cardboard. The surfaces of the cardboard are different.
Well..... I don't think cardboard is the best material to make a scratchbuilt custom. If it's a statue/bust of some sort, then that seems palpable, but a transformable figure out of cardboard might not work well. As for the glue not bonding... Maybe it's the surfaces? I honestly wouldn't know.. Sorry!
