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.
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.
Some people use them for sewing, but I use them for models.I use both the kind with the balls on the ends and the kind with just the little silver nub.Sometimes I use pins when I’m making stair railings. Sometimes I use them to hold together scenery temporarily while I think it over.
