    Default Eyes


    What is the procedure you guys are using for attaching the 3D eyes. They have a stick back but there is no way that is going to hold. Are you glueing them, just using the stick back and then putting a clear over them? I tried using super glue, but if you get any on the eye it becomes frosted.

    Are you glueing them at all or just using the stick on the back till you can use the finger nail polish?

    I use the Control Gel Glue. Small amount and spread it in the eye socket.

    Thank you guys. I just used the stick back they came with, then 2 coats of nail polish. There on solid. I guess I always make things harder than they really are.
