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. HTH

I have a tendency not to glue things in case I want to make changes. I have
a potting shed and hot house and I "attached" them with minihold.

Waxy stuff useful for hanging pictures in dollhouses and other things.

(the container is about an inch high)

This particular brand-name product can leave a waxy residue - there are
other similar products that don't.
Similar products include:
Fun-tack, Stick-it

For more info, Google for any of those terms, along with "dollhouse" or
"miniature"

Ah, I'm familiar with Fun-tak, and similar items. 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.

Its not really the same thing, used for similar purposes, but a different waxy
type product, would likely be more similar to Museum wax or the like.

Fun tak- if it's the blue stuff can leave a blue residue and if it's white,
it doesn't work well. 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).

I thought museum wax was microcrystalline wax used for preserving
metal, leather, wooden and other artifacts by providing an impermeable
barrier to dust and airborne pollutants...(?)
