Glue works fine for beginners to learn with
but it's a bit risky for serious work -
invariably covers up the rim
doesnt hold up to impact
easy to scratch the coin trying to get the stuff on and off
nasty messy ickky stuff
tastes terrible
thre is a lot more to the art than meets the eye
what you dont carve and dont scratch is just as important as what you do change
the metal is soft - once dinged its crap forever
very hard to fix mistakes
you think harley riders are picky - try coin collectors
whats a good average harley bring now 20 grand?
thats four good nickels in someones high end collection
so we use as nice a vise as possible
