Adhesive to fix down all kinds of earth, gravel, small stones, sand, etc to your bases. This special adhesive, with an alcohol base, is much more effective than the traditional white glue. The white glue tends to leave a plastic finish over the surface giving an unreal aspect and also tends not to expand well through the material. But this new adhesive expands rapidly and is adsorbed by the stones and sand saving a lot of time when fixing down rubble for example.
This product is easily cleaned using alcohol, can be applied using an airbrush or paint brush and the drying process can be accelerated with a hairdryer or any other type of heat source. Although it’s matt when it dries, on smooth surfaces it can leave a light satin mark, however, this can be removed with a matt varnish.
Size: 100ml

I was using thinner and diluted white glue before. But this fixer is better because it doesn't leave white marks and glue residues. It is also stronger.

If a surface granular detail is important to you, this is your product to use. I have found this product superior to diluted PVA or MOD PODGE because it eliminates the plasticized look and lower courses filling up with solidified PVA, obliterating detail. It's enamel based and does a super job. Apply sparingly (avoid flooding) using a pipette, and you are good to go.
Took a few attempts experimenting on some scrap pieces to really get the “feel” of it. Once done this material is now vital to attain incredible realism to my models and dioramas. Highly recommended!!
