Talking Wargaming Finding difficulty in holding 25mm figures while painting them I took a lump of Bostik's new solid adhesive and put it in a bell on top of an old tablet container (see drawing). I then simply had to press the base of my miniature figure into this, point up and pull it off again - then continue the process with the rest of the batch of figures. The tablet box could be substituted by a bit of inch square wood long enough to grip properly. The tablet box gives a good grip. The figures will stay on even if the whole thing is reversed to get at awkward places to paint. The Bostik adhesive is infinitely re-usable and its trade name is "BLUTAC". There is some American stuff called "PLASTI-TACK" but it is more expensive and no better.
