Attach Bubble

Attach Bubble/Blister to your Star Wars Custom Card

Supplies:

. Bubble (blister). Glue. Custom Card. Figure. Paper Weight (equivalent). Clear Tape (hold guns). Dry Clean Area. 8 Hours Cure Time.

There are many techniques used to glue on a Bubble (blister) to your custom card. Some people use clamps, Wood cut to the shape and size of the bubble, or placing paper weights (or something similar) on the bubble. In this Tutorial we’ll cover the paper weight concept.

1. ACCESSORIES: Gather all Guns, Rifles, accessories and tape them on to the inside of the bubble in the position you like best. I use Scotch clear 1/2 tape to hold them down. It’s very clear and thin. Target $1.50 (or local retail or art store

2. FIGURE: Place figure in the position you want it to be. Position arms, legs, head as needed.

3. GLUE: You can use almost any type of glue on the bubbles. I like using “ProBond Model & Hobby Cement” it bonds well and dries clear. You can also use any model kit type of glue. Apply on the inside blister edge (flange). Don’t ad to much or the glue will spread out once you ad the weight to it. Place in position desired, use your finger on the outside part of the edge (flange) to spread the glue between the bubble and the card. Target $2.00 (or local retail or art store)

4. ADDING WEIGHT TO THE BUBBLE: I use Cylinder Votive Holders (they holds candles) to weigh down the bubble. But you can use anything you want as long as it doesn’t crush the bubble. Place card/bubble on a flat surface then put 2 Cylinder Holders on the bubble. Let it sit for atleast 8 hours or until the glue is clear. If you are using clear glue let sit for 8 hours or overnight. Target $5.00 for 8 (or local retail store)
