You'll need a few basic tools to assemble our Photo Real Building Kits.
Required Tools:
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Sharp Scissors | Cutting out components |
| Hobby/Exacto Knife | Scoring fold lines and precision cuts |
| Mini Hot Glue Gun | Bonding pieces together |
| Glue Sticks | 2-3 sticks per kit (recommended) |
Optional But Helpful:
- Metal Ruler β For straight scoring lines
- Cutting Mat β Protects your work surface
- Tweezers β For handling small detail pieces
- Toothpicks β For applying glue in tight spots
Why Hot Glue?
We recommend a mini hot glue gun because:
- Sets instantly for quick assembly
- Creates strong bonds on cardstock
- Easy to control with practice
White glue or tacky glue can work but requires longer drying time and clamping.
