Don't know if I'm in the right section for this thread, but I discovered two products that were not, originally, intended for building/modeling use, but are helping me achieve the same result for less money
First product: Loews Canada (don't know if it's the same product for Loews U.S.) sells a flat 2"X4" Smooth Pro (part 745-00) sheet of some kind of plastic (thickness: 6/8th of an inch) in a near satin finish.
Great for building anything: sands beautifully, no problem painting it and shaping it. You can use your normal contact cement or crazy glue. I love it and it's cheap ($15.99, CDN dollar)!
Second product: Shoppers Drug Mart Canada: Women's section: Nailene Brush-On Nail Glue(0.18 oz) That's right...cheaper than Crazy Glue, has a brush applicator and bonds even when sem-dry. Removable, from your skin, with soap and water (Ingredient: Ethyl Cyanoacrylate, Polymethyl Methacrylate...made in Taiwan).
There we go...any other products that you're using and are not intended for their original use (besides the Baking Soda+Crazy Glue trick)
