Removable glue? Tips anyone?

[Ali Baba]

For my project I have to move an entire castle around. (See my flying castle thread in the customs section).

But I do not want the furniture and stuff falling over and sliding around.

I was thinking about some removable glue, something that dissolves in water. Wallpaper glue perhaps? Does anyone have experience with something like that? Tips anyone? Hot glue, does that come off easy?

The only thing I can say for sure is that hot glue is NOT what you need.
¿What kind of glue do Post-It’s use? That would work (I think)…

Hmmm, Martin Milner recommended it for my camel saddles. Said it removed easily. Why do you think it is not a good idea?

I've used it and I think it removes easily. Worth a try at least, a hot glue gun & sticks will only cost $10. Try it on something that you can tras\h if needs be.

Tiermann uses hot glue for many temporary projects, including his Halloween and Christmas castles, to great effect.

I haven't used hot glue, but sounds like a great solution if you can remove it easily.  I have had pretty good success with rubber cement for small items I don't want to slide around, like dishes on a table.  It seems to work best when you put a little on both surfaces.  You can remove it by rubbing it off with your finger.

You can use Blue Tack adhesion putty that is always removable, & hot glue is a very good temporary solution. Let the glue cool a little before applying it. Caution! NEVER let the metal glue gun tip come in contact with a plastic part due to causing damage.

Doll house dealers sell a wax for holding things in place which isdissolvable by warm water.

Epoxy two-pack glue is easily removable from plastic objects.

I dunnot recommand hotglue , depending on the gun used , sometimes hotglue does not come off at all

We allways use a kind of sticky gummi for our settings and diorama , Mine comes out of the car sector to seal cars

It looks and sticks like chewinggum ( you could use chewing gum  )

Certain hobby shops sell a simmilar product to stick  Posters to a wall

It removes very easely

This sounds like Blu-tack:

Thanks very very much everyone. I am certainly going to try out some methods!

I think I´m going to buy a warm glue gun snd try the tacky wax (interesting name).
