Cheers Rufus,
Afraid though the bolt heads like grant are twice the size of those I need.
Have you tried sugar or salt ?
I've gotten by using both before and from a distance
it worked.
Sorry, I've been a way a while....

Hole punches are too big for this scale.

There is very likely a hypodermic needle of the diameter you need from
the veterinary supplies or a farm supplies shop. You can buy them
without any staff member freaking out. You can probably use it as a
punch (squared off sharpened tip) or as an extruder for a string of
material of the correct diameter that you can slice to the desired
thickness to make your boltheads. The extrusion material that come to
mind is resin (although I have not worked with resin yet.) |

Use sludge. http://www.tri-art.ca/en/products/sludge/ I get mine
from the artist's supplies shop.
This is a fantastic product for quirky applications. Flat on flat
surface adhesion is as good as any glue without the problem of glue
melting/softening/fogging the material. If you don't like it just
pull it apart and rub off or use a wood pick to remove the dried
sludge. Not even the paint will be damaged. Use Sludge to secure
clear parts (cockpits, windshields), to adhere irregular fully painted
parts (eg. personal equipment such as water bottles, bayonets, spades,
sidearms) to figures; equipment, baggage and accessories to vehicle
sides. I have even used sSudge to attach nylon strands to replace the
molded horse's tail and mane. It will bond glue incompatible
materials such as plastic to wood to metal to organic stuff such as
feathers (indispensible for building dioramas.) |

Oooooo...great suggestion! I'd use it to punch foil rounds - like
Baremetal foil that I could simply stick on, or thicker stuff that I'd
glue with a foil adhesive...dat would woik!
