Setup, Compatibility & Care
These black rubber stones are designed for straightforward application. To fix them to your base or diorama, use standard white glue or a dedicated "Gravel & Sand Fixer" product like AK Interactive's AK118. For best results when painting, it is recommended to prime the stones first. A good quality model primer will ensure paint adheres evenly and provides a durable finish. They are compatible with most acrylic, enamel, and oil-based model paints. Clean any dust or debris from the stones before application with a soft brush. Once glued and painted, they require no special care beyond standard handling of your finished model or diorama.
