justmesue Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Can't wait for the sun to shine Bec! My BH decided he didn't want sidding after all. He does however want sand paper shingle roofing! Oh I love the Beacon Hill dollhouse! It's my favorite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a little brush to get in the corners where the siding meets. Bec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Minis Dollhouses Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Becca your house is looking absolutely wonderful. Im going to follow your progress slowly and get tips for when I build my second BH. I am so glad that you decided to do the siding before adding on the components. I plan on doing the same thing since siding my first BH was so difficult because of the windows and trim. It never came out looking as neat as I would have liked it to. Im curious to see how the trim and components go on now after the siding. What glue did you use for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJEP Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Bec, she is looking wonderful!! You have been really moving on her. Nice job!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beccas1963 Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 Im curious to see how the trim and components go on now after the siding. What glue did you use for it? Right now I am doing the horizontal and vertical trim. Wont put the window frames on for a while. But I put my door framing on and it looks fine. For the glue I used Aileens tacky glue and lots of tape Bec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Minis Dollhouses Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Thats amazing. I had tried to use tacky glue on the siding of my last Beacon and the curl up was unbelievable. I couldnt find a way to continue working on it without taping down each strip one by one until it dried. I had to end up using the hot glue for it like I do the shingles. I dont really like it though because it has a tendency of drying kind of hard and blobby under the thin siding. The extra thickness might give me a problem when I try installing the components over it. Does anyone out there know if there is an Aileens type glue that is not water based or wont curl up wood?

beccas1963 Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 Gina, yes it does take quite a bit of tape but on the parts where there are no cut outs I was able to get like 3 rows tehn tape them down. Bec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chattycathy66 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I did wind up using Elmers wood glue on the rest of my siding under the porch--I just let it sit a few minutes before I put it on and it seemed to do better this time. I tried it on both painted and unpainted siding, and I had less curling than when I originally started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAK Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Does anyone out there know if there is an Aileens type glue that is not water based or wont curl up wood? I used Quick Grip to put my siding on and it worked like a charm no curling or warping and dries fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Minis Dollhouses Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Thanks Irene for the tip. Im going to use this glue for my next Beacon siding. I have used Wellbond before because supposedly it doesnt curl wood but its smelly and I hate anything with fumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
