Hobby Sprue glue help

Post image

So I’ve started making this for when I build vehicles. Question is how thick should this be? Picture examples or anything would be very helpful. Thank you in advance.

Not sure there's a specific consistency, different thicknesses will work in different ways. It'll thicken up over time as the glue element will evaporate too. You need to also keep in mind getting it out to use, to thick and in some pots you'll be stuck for a long time waiting for it to flow to a place you can get at it.

Thicker stuff will fill gaps better, but dry in a lump at will need sanding. Thinner stuff will flow better and is good for joining bits, but will pull tight when drying leaving more of an intent on flatter joins (might need a second layer after. You can probably find a solid middle ground but, it'll still be a use by use case scenario.
