How do I attach the rocks to my base?

Troubleshooting
Rocks are not adhering properly.
Ensure you are using sufficient adhesive. Allow the glue to become tacky before applying rocks, or use a dedicated scenic fixer for a stronger bond. Make sure the surface is clean and free of dust.
Uneven distribution of rocks.
Apply adhesive in smaller sections and sprinkle rocks gradually for better control. Tweezers can be used for precise placement of individual stones.
Color variation seems too pronounced.
If a more uniform color is desired, consider using a light wash or drybrushing technique after the glue has fully cured to subtly blend the tones.
Container lid is difficult to close.
Ensure no rocks are caught in the threads or rim of the container. Wipe the rim clean if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These volcanic rocks are designed for direct application onto your modeling bases or dioramas. They are compatible with most modeling glues, including standard white glue (PVA) and specialized scenic adhesives such as AK Interactive's Gravel & Sand Fixer (AK118) or similar products. For best results, apply a thin layer of adhesive to the area where you want to place the rocks, then sprinkle the rocks onto the glue or place them individually using tweezers. Ensure the glue is dry before handling the base or diorama to prevent dislodging the rocks. Store the remaining rocks in their original container with the lid securely fastened to prevent spillage and contamination. Keep the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. No special maintenance is required once applied; the rocks will maintain their appearance as part of the finished model.
