FAQs

What is the primary use for AK Interactive Angular Flat Rocks?

These rocks are designed for creating realistic rocky terrain and scenic details in dioramas, model bases, and general scenery projects.

What kind of adhesive should I use?

You can use standard white glue (PVA) or AK Interactive's Gravel & Sand Fixer (AK118). Super glue can also be used for faster adhesion.

Are these rocks suitable for large-scale models?

While suitable for various scales, for very large-scale projects, they might best be used in combination with larger rocks or other texturing materials to provide detail.

How much material is in one container?

Each container holds 100ml of laminated rock fragments.

Can I paint these rocks?

Yes, once adhered and the glue is dry, you can prime and paint the rocks to match your desired color scheme.

How should I store the product?

Store the container in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to keep the contents clean and dry.

Do these rocks come in different colors?

The product description does not specify different colors; they are presented as laminated rock fragments intended for painting or naturalistic application.

Troubleshooting

Rocks do not adhere well

Ensure sufficient adhesive is used and that it is applied evenly. Allow adequate drying time. For loose pieces, try a second application of diluted adhesive.

Excessive glue visible around rocks

Use a minimal amount of adhesive. Apply glue to the base first, then sprinkle rocks. If glue seeps, try to wick away excess with a damp brush or toothpick before it dries.

Rocks appear too uniform

Mix the rocks with other basing materials like sand, grit, or larger stones. Apply them in irregular patterns rather than dense, uniform layers.

Rocks are dusty

Gently blow air across the rocks or use a soft, dry brush to remove dust before applying adhesive.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides highly realistic and textured terrain.
  • Versatile for various scales and project types.
  • Easy to apply with common modeling adhesives.
  • Adds significant visual detail to dioramas and bases.
  • Good value in the 100ml volume.

Cons

  • May be too small for very large-scale terrain features without combination.
  • Requires careful application to avoid excessive glue coverage.
  • Can be dusty and require cleaning before use.
  • Sharp angles might be fragile if handled roughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use AK Interactive Angular Flat Rocks, first ensure your surface is prepared and any primary basing material (like glue or texture paste) is applied.

  1. Application: Apply a small amount of white glue or AK Interactive's Gravel & Sand Fixer (AK118) to the desired area.
  2. Placement: Sprinkle the angular rocks onto the wet adhesive. For precise placement, use tweezers.
  3. Securing: Allow the adhesive to dry completely. For loose pieces, a second application of diluted white glue or fixer can be brushed over the area after the initial layer has dried.

Compatibility: These rocks are compatible with most modeling glues, including PVA (white glue), super glue, and specialized model adhesives. They work well with other AK Interactive basing materials and products from other manufacturers.

Care: Store the container in a cool, dry place. Keep the lid tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and dust contamination. If rocks become dusty, a gentle puff of air or a soft brush can clean them before application.
