Anyone out there ever used "No wrinkle" rubber cement to fix buildings to a layout?
If so,what were your results? I've always just "placed" buildings and spent a lot of time putting them back in place. So I'd like to fix them down with some simple method but keep them removable. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Scott

Scott: I have used automobile, windshield sticky strip material to hold my buildings in place. Go to a windshield installer shop and ask if you could buy a piece of a left-over roll. They might even give it to you. This stuff is sticky and you can take a small piece of it, stretch it out, roll it in your fingers until it looks like a fine line. Carefully, place it on the lower-inside edge of the building and set it down. It,s not going anywhere!!! To remove the building, simply pull-up gently. The sticky strip will roll off most all surfaces, with not a trace of any residue. You can use the sticky strip, over and over, as long as you don,t get any debris on it. Richard
