Conservatory
I am building a conservatory onto the side of my dollhouse. What would be
the best way to 'fasten' it. I am making a base for the house and conservatory. Any thoughts ? Regards Fran |

Fran, Two thoughts come to mind. If there's not siding already on the wall
you want the conservatory fastened to, you could simply glue one wall of the conservatory to the wall of the house and cut an opening for French (or sliding) doors between the two; or you could make a covered walkway (roofed like a lych gate or with an awning) between the door at the side of the house and the conservatory.

I have a potting shed and hot house and I "attached" them with minihold. Carol S P Miniatures http://www.spminiatures.com |

I was just wondering if this was yet another incarnation of the exact same thing, in yet another package. I've seen it repackaged at rock and gem shows as "gem tak" or some such foolish thing and at a craft show as something else. It's all the same stuff, basically. There are other products that are widely available in hardware and gift stores here in the moveable state of California - Quake-Hold and Blu-Tack. These are made for larger items on shelves, but it works in smaller quantities, too. They're somewhat stronger, a bit more work to soften up, and leave no residue whatsoever. Unlike the mini-hold type of product, they're opaque so you have to be a little more careful where and how you place it. - Herb |

It seems to be some type of clay material. I only use Mini-hold where I don't care if there's a residue. I never use it to put things on walls or shelves. Also if you live in a warm climate and don't keep the air conditioner going mini-hold can melt. I sometimes use rubber cement to hold things on walls and shelves. I also use it when selling at shows for displaying pieces. However, it can harden with time and if the piece is stuck on you can use a bit of heat to loosen the glue (blow dryer).
