My subjects of choice!

I'll get back to you in 24 hrs!

And for the record, the Boxer shouldn't have any effect on dry times! It was not used in this experiment at all! LOL

And for the record, all glue sample where pressed down, and slightly moved back and forth, to help 'seat' the metal to the cardstock! Just using the thick end of my tweezers!

Foam Tack Glue

I have found Woodland Scenics Foam Tack glue to be useful in this kind of application.  I thought the craft store tacky glues would work the same at far less cost but found this not to be true.  For instance, I used tacky glue in a test for gluing flex track to plywood in a helix.  Not strong enough.  Foam Tack glue works great. 

I've also tried various glues to glue Campell Corragated Metal to things.  Foam tack works great. 

I use it for many things where a "tacky" glue is useful to quickly grab the material yet still allow some adjustment before it sets.  Like gluing ground throws down before adding more permanent nails.  Like gluing track to roadbed. Like gluing photos to building mock-ups (although "permanent" glue sticks are easier to use for this).     

Glue metal to cardboard

The glue that I have used in the past to glue metal to cardboard or anything else, is Walthers goo.

Use it very sparingly

And the jury is dissapointed!!

Well, I'm a bit disappointed, but not surprised! I tried pulling the metal siding off of the card stock. In only one sample, did the metal not peel away from the glue!!

Aleenes Tacky literally pulled the cardstock apart, but I was able to pull the cardstock from the metal afterward!

The loctite, Gel, Superglue, was by far, the hardest to pull away. But the glue still seperated from the metal!

I just might stick with (pun intended) Aleenes Tacky!!

I think she might have gotten 'Lucky' tonight!

Plan 'B' ! !

OK, so I wasn't quite satisfied with the glue test!!

I thought of another gluing idea, double sided tape!!

I had picked this up a while ago at the local stationary store. it was on a plastic and cardstock dispenser, just like Christmas wrap, Scotch Tape!

I burnished the application of tape well, from the inside. So I was able to put considerable pressure, on the whole roof structure!!
 

I peeled the bottom three layers off,

And again, using the nylon burnishing tool, pressed everything down well, from the inside, bottom of the roof.

Without any tests, I believe this will hold up the best. I feel that the surface contact, is just like 'contact cement'! And having been  burnished from the inside, it will be well seated!!

Time will tell, but I still think That I got 'Lucky'!!
