They are one of the slower companies to deal with but I’ve never had any problems with the items themselves. I am disappointed at the new minimum order though as it means I can’t get the limited (why?) edition figure I wanted, essentially I have to spend £75 to be eligible to get it with none of the offset shipping sets being from the ancient history range, which the figure itself is.
You could try strips of paper soaked with diluted pva/wood glue. You could also try folding some kitchen foil in half and then cutting a strip. You could also try something like Evergreen Scale Models styrene strips which come in a variety of small sizes including 0.033″ and 0.043″ wide which would work.
