When using solvent-based adhesives be sure to work in a well-ventilated room. 
 
Take waste adhesives and paints to your nearest toxic waste collection point. 
 
An  unobstructed  work  area  of  generous  size  is  very  helpful  for  all  types  of  modelling 
activity. 
 
If  you  are  a  beginner  to  modelling  and  are  not  sure  about  any  of  the  more  difficult 
processes, ask an experienced modeller for advice and help.
