pictue glue

[FESTER2004]

ok i wanna print some pics from my computer n put them on a rc body.i have a mint idea for a theme body! now can i use glossy paper(not photo paper) for the pics n would the xxx picture glue work on it?

ok after all that is said n done,now the paint i spray wont bleed threw the pics, i will coat it with light coats to prevent blobbing.?????

i just wann make sure i wanna get the whole idea how its done rite b4 i try anything.

I made a body with an image from a comicbook. The paper is glossy and thin so it can be easily pushed and molded into its correct spot.

For the glue I used regular old Mog Pog. You can get it at hobbylobby, michaels, probably even walmart. It works the same way. Just apply enough of the glue.

After I had my pic glued in to place (after it has completely dried), I misted on the coats following the pic so no bleeding would take place.

Overall the project worked well. With practice you could make some pretty nice theme bodies.

I printed some 82d logos on photo paper and was quite pleased with the results.

i don't know about glossy paper but i did a test with regular old printer paper and it works fine, looks good too. don't waste your glossy paper, i'll snap a pic if you'd like.

If you have some Faskoat, it will work as pic glue too.

so if i printed out of my color ink jet printer here it would be ok, i have a hewitt packard PSC 750.

or just use some elmers glue mixed with a little water.

Do you guys know if normal glue sticks would work. If not what is the best kind to use?

oops i forgot all about this thread, i'll get a pic today and post it soon.

this is regular old copy paper.

Elmers glue is not flexable enough. If you don't hit any boards, it should be fine.

a-man1234,
when i did it i use elmers and some water mixed and i raced it and hit walls and it was fine. as long as there not on the front bumper, i had one on the hood, the sides, and the rear bumper.
