I've completed my experiments with Goop. It's an adhesive that comes in many different iterations (I've used the "shoe" and "automotive" varieties and they both seemed like the same... er... goop) and claims itself to be "stronger than glue!" if you (...)

Does anyone use the Acromills type storage bins for their LEGO colletcion? I have aquired many of these (over 100) bins size is 12inches long by 4inches wide and 4 inches deep, color blue. I have quite a few of the dividers for this size bin also. (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I find that I really like the self closing style of tweezers. You press on them to open them, and when you let go they clamp onto the part. My fingers are way too big to pick parts out of the small storage sections, and with Technic parts, you (...) (25 years ago, 14-Dec-99, to lugnet.storage)

Hot glue is brill... NICE idea Ralph! It would be more of a mechanical connection, though,as the glue does not bond to plastic (unless you get a special kind, I don't think). My suggestion, along the same "mechanical" lines, would be Elmers(tm) (...) (25 years ago, 14-Dec-99, to lugnet.storage)

For now, I'm using a pair of tweezers to lift smaller bits out of smaller bins. I haven't yet got around to doing an experiment using Shoe Goo as an adhesive. I intend to try it on the Plano plastic, and on a Lego brick, so I'll know whether or not (...) (25 years ago, 14-Dec-99, to lugnet.storage)

(...) Yep, that's the brand. Hm, I hadn't paid attention to being able to order more dividers, not that I've needed to. At the closest I've come to needing more dividers, I still had one or two left. (...) Down here in the US, Walmart carries Plano. (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.storage)

Frank Filz said: (...) I think that the boxes you're referring to are called "Tuff Tainers". They're made by Flambeau. One of the nice things is that you can order extra dividers. Up here in Canada, they're carried by Canadian Tire and I'm pretty (...) (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.storage)

(...) This is one reason I stopped buying the Plano boxes, and instead buy my boxes from Target. I forget who makes the ones they sell, but the dividers stay in a LOT better (sometimes too well, I've had to struggle occaisionally to get a divider (...) (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I've thought about this too. I wonder if thermally (or mechanically) deforming the divider would work. If you "flattened" the triangle profile in a few spots around the outside, it would probably fit tighter. The other fairly easy method would (...) (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.storage)

Has anyone glued the dividers in place on their Plano boxes? I've got about a dozen or so of the 3700 series boxes and many of them are divided into as many sections as possible and I don't see changing them. Many times when I go to get a bunch of a (...)
