I've seen some You Tube videos on how to paint minis, for priming them, alot say to get a paint sample stick from a hardware store to mount the minis on so you can turn them and make sure the whole mini is primed. But what do you use to mount them onto the stick? I have'nt been able to find what you use to do that.

Sticky tack seems like a decently easy thing to stick them to the stick temporarily.

Yeah, anything that works is the answer. Most people use some kind of poster putty or blue tack. I actually used scotch tape rolled into a circle the first time I did it and it got the job done. Now I use poster tack and put the minis in a vast array of wine corks, borrowed prescription pill bottle tops, various small bottles etc. that I use for paint handles.

I use blue painters tape or masking tape folded over in “wads” stuck to a scap piece of wood. My dad back in the 90s would just use an old box and rotate the minis around.

I put some strong double-sided tape down on a few scrap lengths of wood/mdf.

Holds like ten minis each and you can reuse them if you put the new minis down over the same spots.

I put mine in a box and make sure the box lid stands up behind them. This causes the paint to blow back onto them as I spray, which almost always provides total coverage of the primer.
