How to install Base Bits

Installing Base Bits is an incredibly simple process. To ensure a smooth install, take a look at the step by step instructions provided below.

Getting ready

You will need:

• The original Games Workshop base(s)

• Your Base Bit(s).

• Two-part epoxy glue

Alternatively super glue will work fine, it has a quicker setting time but can discolour the plastic and the magnet.

Do not use hot glue, as the heat can reduce the magnet's power.

You can mount your Base Bits to the Games Workshop base with or without the model already attached.

Step 1.

Assemble the required parts on a flat work surface.

Place the Base Bit on your work surface with the magnet facing down.

Prepare your glue as per the instructions that came with the glue. For two-part epoxy glues, this is normally:

• Add two equal parts to your tray

• Using a toothpick (or similar tool) mix the two parts thoroughly

• Leave to cure for 5 minutes

• Mix again before applying

Step 2.

Apply a small bead of glue around the circumference of the Base Bit every 2cm or so.

Then, place your Games Workshop base over the top, pressing down firmly to spread the glue.

Step 4.

Lift the model to look underneath, check for any oozing superglue. If some glue has oozed, wipe carefully with a isopropyl alcohol on a paper towel.

Place the model back into the previous position and leave to dry.

Most gel superglues will be solid in 10 minutes, and fully cured in 24 hours.
