We've all run into this situation: You are working on a project, and need one little thing, and either the LHS isn't close enough or is closed. Or what about having a hankerin to do some modeling, and there aint a LHS nearby. What do you do? Here are some potentially useful items I have found at more common stores:
For CA, I have found any superglue will work. No need to use the JET brand. So when it is christmas day, and you are out of CA, a tube of super glue from the gas station will get you going.
My local ace hardware carries a variety of useful things. They carry small screws down to 2-56. they also carry a rack of brass shapes and tubes, as well as adhesives and a few paints.
The local craft store (like michaels or joannes) has some stripwood, craft paints, paintbrushes, adhesives, sculptamold, and cardstock.
The auto parts store sells a bondo type scratch filler in a tube that works well as a plastic putty for filling gaps and scratches in those kitbashed projects.
Anyone else have a find they would like to contribute?
