I use white glue thinned with water. It doesn't have to be very concentrated for this.

Have you looked into where the closest meeting is for IBM or SAM? Whether it's a mentor or just other people to talk magic with, this is one place where you will find other people after the same thing. Also check out one of the regional magic conventions.

And they are good for practicing tabled faros!
