ever feel that you need an extra pair of hands to hold things together while glue dries? That’s where these ‘T’-shaped pins from Woodland Scenics come in handy. They can hold sections of hard foam landscaping materials together, or hold buildings, trees or other accessories in situ as the adhesive sets. You can even push one into the scenery near to where you wish to plant static grass and attach the alligator clip to complete the electrical circuit.

Woodland Scenics’ Foam Nails are around 5cm long and can be used and reused many times. If you find one covered in dried glue, simply pour near-boiling water over them (taking great care!) – for a few seconds and the glue will melt away.
