I just received a Rolife Time Travel book nook kit and have a question that hopefully one of you can help with.

The manual says "due to customs, the kit may ship without batteries, glue, or pigments". Okay, I was expecting this about the glue, but... pigments?

In the kit is a tube labeled "white latex" and marked as P12. However, I do not see this mentioned in the instructions and it's not clear to me whether this is paint or glue?

I am guessing that I need to get some super glue in order to assemble the kit, but what is the "white latex"?

I want to do these kits but I just started one that is a Detective Agency and I have broken so many of the pieces I'm frustrated. It always trying to get the pieces into the holes. I try to be gentle. Any advise?

I am making this kit and I have struggled getting glue to hold on clear plastic before. I'm worried I'm going to ruin it at this step. What glue do you use? I've tried sticky glue and it doesn't hold well and super glue fogs the surface. Thanks!

Does anyone have a good source of miniatures online? Or if there is a post about it already point me in that direction.

Hello,

Starting out a bit unrelated, I'm making a shelf for physical copies of Nintendo Switch games, but realized that I only own the digital copy of "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" - thus, I thought it would be a cute idea to make like a sort of book nook of the Animal Crossing scenery, and also because I love the game so much! I reached out to a few Etsy sellers that make book nooks, but they unfortunately don't do custom orders. I figured I'd make a post on here to see if anyone was interested in fulfilling this request! Please let me know! ^^

*Also, I put the flair as "OC" because I wasn't sure what it meant!

Does anyone know if diybooknook.com is a scam site?

I ordered a book nook from temu (so let’s be real, it’ll probably fall apart anyway) but surprise surprise, it came with no glue. It’s wooden pieces so I’m just wondering what standard/general glue you’d recommend ? There are paper images but I believe the adhesives that came with it are for those (the instructions are obviously somewhat sketchy) 😂

It has a motion sensor so I know when a tall ghost is passing by

I've seen a few references here to be careful about online kit purchases - how do I know what to avoid?

Of course I understand how enjoyable that is, creating something that is 100% certain to turn out pretty good, but I recommend taking what you have learned using a kit to extend your skills and make something completely unique - straight from your imagination.

You will be thrilled with yourselves. I promise. I made the Blade Runner one, and I knew absolutely nothing about how to make something like that, learning how to do so was one of the most fun things I have ever done. Please have some confidence in your skills, you can do this!

I’m currently building Rolife’s bookstore as my second kit. I bought their Sakura one first and loved it, no real issues with assembly. I’m just at the beginning of this one and have hit a complete roadblock with this tiny plant. It says to just twist it in, but it’s definitely not that easy. Since this kit didn’t come with glue, I grabbed some tacky glue which has helped me with just about anything in the past. Except for with this. I have held this thing together with tweezers and my poor thumbs for nearly an hour, and it will still not stick!!! Does anyone have any advice?

Hello all!

Recently got the BookNook bug! I can't help notice the lighter spots on the pieces from where they were broken off from the holder / wooden blocks. I've seen others post about painting them over, now I'm curious about which paints would work best for wood / BookNooks in general. Would highly appreciate any tips, tricks, or recommendations.

Please and thank you!
