This is so sharp.

When you cut, put EVA foam on Cutting mat.
Break the blade frequentry, if you feel sharpness of the blade became bad.
I use "Running fire box cutter","Blade breaker" too.
"Running fire box cutter" can have 6 pieces blade inside.
"Blade breaker" can break easy and speedy.


Use Standard art knife or Cushion grip art knife for small ornaments etc.

I finished cutting.


Glue plates.
Glue with a Liquid super glue.
When you use a Super glue Accelerator, Hardening speed becomes fast.
(Smoke may be generated. Don't breathe in the smoke and don't put in eyes.)


**********************************************************************


Super glue can glue a large surfaces easily.
But it can't glue a small surface such as this photo well


Then you should use a following spray.
I always use this.
Watch video.


Super glue accelerator
This can glue surfaces in several seconds.
When you use 100ml, you can make a armorset or about three weapons.
←100ml ←180ml ←420ml

About super glue
