Welcome to Theater Helper. This site is dedicated to providing advice and instruction in some of the areas of tech theater in which I feel more advice and instruction are needed. It was born when I was building a model one day and thinking back to the early days when the same tasks took me much longer to perform. So many times I have done something only to realize later that there was a faster and easier way to do the same thing. I am hoping the knowledge I share on this site will save others from some of my more frustrating experiences.

Model pieces are tiny, but sometimes to make them look perfect you just want to smooth out a corner, round over and edge or get rid of a rough spot. Be first to comment this article | Add as favorites (105) | Quote this article on your site | Views: 1132 |

Tacky glue comes in a few different brands, but is essentially Elmer’s school glue that hasn’t been watered down as much. If you have school glue, you can also leave it out in a puddle for a little while and it will get close to working as tacky glue does.

Masonite is essential industrial strength pulp (dust) and glue mixed and pressed together. It is really heavy, but has a nice, hard, durable surface. It responds to humidity by growing and shrinking slightly, but that affects large scale uses more than it does model building uses.

I love foam core when I’m roughing in a model, because it is so fast and easy to work with. I don’t like it as much in the finished product because it damages easily and making the edges look finished is a pain. If you are using hand tools, and don’t have a band saw at your disposal, this will be one of your main model building materials because it has thickness and can be easily cut with a matte or exact-o knife.
