I second the white glue. Hot water will weaken it, and the glue can be
cleaned off. It does not dissolve into the styrene.

thx. never thought of white glue. the guys could be glued there for
years. they won't be moved at all so maybe white glue would work. I
will give it a try. I hope to go through 3-4 boxes during the Super
Bowl.

I'd go with plain old elmers white glue. Or if it's just to look at,
tack them in place with modeling putty.

I plan to focus on getting the boxes and boxes of 1/35 figures built,
to be painted and used someday. I know if I build them, put them in
a bag and clip to the box art then drop them in a box, they will for
sure never see the light of day
So I thought I would get some sheet styrene and mount the little
buggers on the sheet so I can see what I have. And they can all look
back at me and make me feel guilty.
I have over 50 1/35 sets so I really have to get them built.
Best glue for this? Just need a little to get them to set on the
sheets. Tube glue the best? I thought that CA would grab hold too much
then I would have to work at getting them off. with tube glue I can
just can add just enough to get them to stick while not bonding too
strongly.
