Model Railroading > Saving my hand muscles - Power adhesive gun :)

I am looking at dispensing a whole lot of adhesive using this foam top construction and gluing down roadbed - and after only 4 sets of panels to be glued down, I realized how much strain it is going to put on my hands to squeeze out all of that adhesive with a caulking gun for a layout this large. So, I found this and ordered one - the MOW folks will tank me many times over lol.

I have found that the old batteries (ones that will no longer hold a charge for more than 2 minutes!) from those battery-powered thingies are great weights to hold things in alignment. They even have a built-in handle!

BTW how much snow did you get?

30.7" the town tells me :)

Not the worst, and it was so light that I was able to shovel out the end of my driveway myself. The town was really good about it - I asked them to plow my street to the side away from my driveway ( a parking lot that the store plows anyway) and they were as good as their word and I had no "road snow" to deal with - only what fell/drifted. Made my life a lot easier :)

Bob,

For that price it is well worth the money, now all I have to see is if Dewalt makes one.

Andre

Yes. Dewalt makes them too, for about $180.......Amazon has some air powered ones for around $35.....
